Freehand’s vibe exceeded my expectations. Great service, accommodations for a big crowd were comfortable and relaxing. Sunday’s crowd was much more cozy. I actually would come back.

This is the most quaint awesome hotel! The decor and lighting in the rooms is intimate & very appealing. Everything about our stay in this hotel was lovely! The rooftop bar and pool at night is not to miss. The rooms were so quiet (couldn’t hear guests above, beside, or below us. The bed was super comfortable, shower had lots of pressure, the room was very clean, and the staff were attentive and friendly. The area has a few homeless people milling around, and the street noise was audible, but if you’re a light sleeper bring earplugs and you’ll have a wonderful stay!

Odd thing happened.
3 day/2 night stay, it was really easy to check in and all was going smoothly. I put the do not disturb sign on the door knob when we left. And when we came back the tv was on the room. I tried calling down to recpetion and there was no answer, i went down to recpetion and there was no one there. It was very shocking that someone had entered the room and left the TV on while we were gone.

Some of the property was broken or loose like the hinges and nail on wood parts of bed. Other than that the everyday room care is great and food\options nearby are great and stores are walkable. Great location for vacation.
