Great hotel, ideal location, poor internet

Great hotel in an ideal DTLA location. The room was comfy and chic, the rooftop pool bar was to die for. My one quibble was that the internet just did not work for us. They said they were having trouble the Friday we checked in, but the problem persisted the whole time we were there. Hopefully, it's not usually like this and it wasn't a big enough problem to deter us from staying there again.

Great location but some issues

Nearly a third of the loungers and seating is unusable as they've been "reserved". I was there for approximately 5 hours and I didn't see one being used, all whist people were sitting in the floor. The shared rooms are nice however they require the privacy curtains to be reattached onto the front of the beds.

I had my wallet stolen, yet had physical cash from my bank to pay deposit for the night but thrown out into the street at night and forced to go home early while my bank was investigating these people who took my bank card testing it at a grocery store. Absolutely no empathy. Outrageous treatment.

It was a place to stay, probably won’t book again

I booked a shared room in a bunk bed and have stayed in several hostel style situations similar to this one. However, I found Freehands’ shared hostel room to be not very clean and I could smell the other people and their body odor lingering in the room. I don’t feel like the room was cleaned properly between each cleaning, and the linens still felt sort of icky and I don’t feel like the cleaners paid that much attention to detail either.
