I really liked the room and I think it is a good price. The rooftop is really cool and if you do not want to pay a lot for their food, you can go and get some street tacos right across the street. Clean room, plenty of space and cool people as well.

The hotel was amazing quick check in. The room was very clean the atheistic of the hotel is amazing. It was very loud at night made it a little difficult to fall asleep. The area is not the best when you travel with kids. They have no self parking within the premises Valet is expensive. Had to park a few blocks down. Be ready to walk if you don’t want to pay $60 for valet. Didn’t dine at the property but the restaurant area looked inviting. The area is not the best but it’s downtown so you’ll see and hear all kinds of things.

It was OK hotel for the disent price. Room was clean, but do not expect any options which are kind of given even in the motels. No coffee machines, no toaster, in general nothing in regards of food preparation (glasses, plates, bottle opener etc.) The mini fridge is a "micro fridge" in a reality. You can't put even a small pack of water there. There is 24/7 night club (Golden Gopher) right across the street, which can be affect your quite night rest. In general the location is not perfect, you can bump into very weird people walking around. The resume: If your finances let you stay in the place just a little bit more expensive - go for it!

This is my favorite place to stay in Los Angeles. The staff is excellent, and I always feel like they take good care of all of their guests. The Freehand is a beautiful historical building with a unique vibe. It’s a busy place that somehow still maintains a comfortable feeling. I always feel more “at home” here than at most other hotels. The lobby feels like a place you would want to hang out in, as opposed to a “what’s-next-on-the-list” waiting spot. I’ve never been to the restaurant inside the hotel but I’ve been to the Broken Shaker and it’s a good time. Recommend a first cocktail there because they are tasty and pretty potent! Golden Gopher is across the street. Awesome bar and the oldest in LA! Around the corner is a great coffee spot called Andante. Definitely check it out. Also recommend self parking, instead of valet. The garage attached to the building charges $35 a day with an entry on Olive Street. No ins/outs but no one wants to spend their time driving when they’re visiting LA anyways!
