They sent me information to check in online with a QR code. I get there. I have to re-check in because they don’t use it at that location. I wanna go to the bar to have a drink before I go. It’s supposed to close at midnight I go to the bar at 11:21. It is locked up closed I left something in the lost and found and now last time I was told they keep it for 30 days now I’m told they keep it seven days. They can’t keep their lies straight.

The parking at the hotel is crazy high. Just park up the street and get it for 20 dollars overnight or 12 for daily. Other than that, what can I say. Freehand is mostly a hostel, but as far as hostels go, it's one of the best hostels I've stayed in. There's a rooftop pool and bar. There's a bar on the ground as well. There are food options and other bars right across the street. Overall the stay exceeded my expectations.
