It was a nice quiet place to stay. Quiet cozy. However, the rooms are tiny and the bathroom is even smaller. If you are tall and have long legs you cannot use the toilet.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Bell boys helped sort, pick, transport luggage so conveniently and front desk answered every inquiry with utmost patience and cheer. Maintenance promptly fixed the draft and made sure the room was warm. Lighting is low enough for quiet reading. Building has several places to lounge and could be used better with decor and activities.

Looooved our stay at the Freehand. Everyone was super friendly. Our room was very quiet and felt like a little bungalow in the city. Loved the Bluetooth speaker and original art. I mean for the price, you are really getting a chill spot in an excellent location.
