I stayed at the Freehand Hotel for one night during the week and had a fantastic experience. The hotel has a fun, stylish vibe and a great location in DLA. I spent some time at the rooftop pool, enjoyed drinks from the bar, and absolutely loved the mushroom tacos. My room was on the smaller side, but it was cute, comfortable, and had an incredible view of the DTLA skyline. Everything felt clean, well-designed, and welcoming. Staff was friendly and helpful. This has officially become my new favorite place to stay in Downtown LA. The only downside was the valet parking, which was $60 for the night. Other than that, I had a wonderful stay and can't wait to come back.
