Room was clean with plenty of space for two. I liked the window seat. Shower water pressure was fantastic. Bummed about no free/in room coffee though. City sounds were loud in the room- didn’t bother me but my partner wore ear plugs for sleep. Love the interior design elements. Breakfast burrito from the lobby coffee shop was so good!!

We enjoyed our stay at the freehand. The rooftop pool and restaurant were our favourite by far. The room was funky but the bed was a little bit hard and not super comfortable. It was a convenient location for us, as we were attending a conference at the LACC. Staff was nice (especially on the roof). 7.5/10 stay
