Stayed with partner

Friendly staff as always. When we got to the room after checking in, the room was clean, but some stuff from the previous occupant’s were still in the room. Just some drinks, some swag from a convention, nothing major. I called the front desk and they offered to switch rooms for us so we accepted and it was an amazing room upgrade! A great surprise since we were in town for my husband’s birthday. Staff was amazing and even with the little snaffoo from the first room, we will definitely stay here again. It’s become one of our favorites when we come to LA!

Stayed with family

Very well appointed hotel, beautiful lobby and rooftop bar and pool. Staff is excellent, very helpful. Our room was nice, but the window sills, blinds, and bedside table surfaces were very dusty. Even when they came and made the bed and refreshed towels, they never dusted any surfaces. Weird. Good location for downtown LA, still a major homeless problem. Expect to see a lot of rundown areas There’s a Whole Foods next door, a Starbucks, and sweetgreen on the same street as well. We stayed 5 nights and used the valet for our car- in and out no problem, prompt service. The valet guys were great. Also a unique store connected to the lobby selling tote bags, shirts, sweatshirts and the like with a cool movie and tv series quotes theme “These gays. They’re trying to kill me” I’d recommend!

Stayed with kids

We had the private room with 6 beds. It seemed like it’d be fun for the kids but it was too high and unsafe for the younger kids. In general the hotel isn’t a great family option. There was a lot of noise and downtown yelling in the middle of the night.

No blow dryers. It’s ok. We stayed two nights and asked to clean our room 1 of the days. They forgot. AC works well. No toiletries - it’s ok. I brought mine. Be sure to bring a blow dryer. Price is good for what you don’t get

Stayed with friends

I stayed at the Freehand Hotel for one night during the week and had a fantastic experience. The hotel has a fun, stylish vibe and a great location in DLA. I spent some time at the rooftop pool, enjoyed drinks from the bar, and absolutely loved the mushroom tacos. My room was on the smaller side, but it was cute, comfortable, and had an incredible view of the DTLA skyline. Everything felt clean, well-designed, and welcoming. Staff was friendly and helpful. This has officially become my new favorite place to stay in Downtown LA. The only downside was the valet parking, which was $60 for the night. Other than that, I had a wonderful stay and can't wait to come back.
