I enjoyed the vibe of the hotel. My only gripe is the auto lights everywhere in the room and bathroom. The lights would start to turn off while I was in the shower and I had to open the curtain and wave in time to get them to stay on. Last would be they don’t have water for purchase or complimentary which most hotels do

We love this location and have stayed several times. The rooms are great, rooftop pool cool, and location walkable to the Orpheum where we are normally planning to see a concert. The best part though is easily the staff. They are friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable. Thanks!

Nice with Key Flaws

Pros: Well-designed space, near most of what we needed to get to in DTLA, lovely bathroom Cons: Can't sit in the lobby during big chunks of the day because it turns into a bar/cafe. So to meet up with others, we had to stand in front of the check-in desk or outside. Check-in took a long time with only one staffer. Kitchen in the basement is dark, dismal, but it had a fridge and microwave. Our room with 2 sets of bunks was extremely tight.

Amazing!

First time in LA for KPop Concert. Staying at Freehand made it even more enjoyable and relaxing! Shared a 4 bed Female Quad with great roommates :) Housekeeping was daily and on schedule. CVS, Whole Foods and Dunkin Donuts were within walking distance. I felt very Safe. I checked in closed to 12 AM, after a Delayed flight. The Front Desk was still open and Check In was very smooth, with extra Towels. I did bring my own wash cloths because it was not provided, but it does not change my experience 😊 I will definitely come back real soon! 👍
