Reviews of Freehand Los Angeles

Liked: • restaurants and bars onsite. Excellent quality and variety. The lobby and rooftop Broken Shaker bar are wonderful spots. • Room design (Premium King): thoughtful interior design, stocked with good quality bathroom and shower products (Argan). Disliked: • Lack of coffee machine in the room. But the excellent coffee at Cafe Integral downstairs largely makes up for this. • Room cleanliness. Our room was functionally clean but lots of dust on the table, dresser, tv, and windowsill.
Only drawback was the $56 overnight parking fee. There are cheaper parking lots around the block, but if you don’t know they won’t tell you.
Cons. Some of the people in my room weren’t the best.
