We were a group of 3 girls visiting NYC for the weekend. The Freehand was a great experience. Location was awesome, felt safe, and very central so we walked everywhere we needed to go. The lobby vibe and design is really cool. We were in a Three's Company room with full bed plus twin bunk. The room was small, but used the space efficiently and it was nice to have the bunk option to fit three of us!
United States of AmericaGood location, easy to find, and only a few minutes from 23rd St station. Staff at front desk and housekeeping were friendly and quick.
