Freehand Los Angeles
416 West 8th Street, Downtown LA, Los Angeles, CA 90014, United States of America – Great location - show map
The location (I found my favorite location within 5 minutes walk) , the length of the bed was great (I’m TALL)
United States of AmericaI was very satisfied with the hotel room we switched to. I really appreciated the layout and how spacious it was. I liked the bed, decor. What was even more impressive about the hotel was the two bars, the downstairs being cozy and warm and the rooftop bar reminded me of Klunkerkranich in Berlin but with a pool. It had this low key unpretentious atmosphere that is incredibly rare to find in Los Angeles. This vibe extended to the staff at check-in and the bars, all of whom were very friendly and warm.
GermanyEverything! Location, price, restaurant, bar, rooftop bar, amazing decor, awesome rooms, vintage yet modern.
United States of AmericaEverything ! our hotel room was perfect for 2 adults super clean and comfortable and the location was perfect even to go walk around and get food near by. Highly recommend 😄 will be going back for sure.
