My favorite DTLA hotel!

Always a great stay! This was the first time staying here with the kids so we opted for a private 4-bunk room & it was great! I'll always pick this place when I'm in downtown LA.

Decent place to stay

It's a good bang for your buck considering the alternatives. Private rooms are spacious amd comfi. Not very well lit. GYM is very minimalistic and has no windows. Neighborhood is not that good but the hotel's located in an ok area

Great cost effective location

Clean and easy with spacious rooms and a good shower! Rooftop bar/pool has a great atmosphere and easy access for sightseeing. Would have been nice for the kitchen to be open for breakfast, but plenty of eateries nearby!
Abi, 2-night trip

There was a bit of a musty smell in the hall but I was just there to sleep and I got checked in quickly, asked if I could pay to upgrade my room, which I did, and was so comfortable!

Highly Recommended!

We had a great stay at Freehand LA. The staff was friendly and professional. Our room was very cool, and the lobby was beautiful. However, we were disappointed that the restaurant and the lobby bar were closed during our stay.

Another amazing stay!

This is my go-to DTLA hotel. Friendly helpful staff, easy check-in/checkout, the room is always clean & comfortable! Quiet safe neighborhood. The hotel has a lot of charm & stands out from other places in the area. Easy walk to LA Live & other restaurants, stores, etc. The bar across the street is so fun; the oldest in DTLA! I'll definitely stay here again.

Don’t stay at this hotel

Don’t stay here. Flies all outside the hotel. Hotel hallways are grungy like a hostel. Rude staff. Green bathrooms. Absolutely not 4 stars, felt more like 2.5.
