It’s a nice hotel in a very nice location. The attached coffee shop is nice too. It is however very dark. Lobby, hallways, rooms, etc. lots of dark wood and not very bright bulbs can make it difficult to see. Staff was very friendly and room was always kept clean.

Picked based on location to visiting our son around the corner. Only complaint was the bed. Not real comfy. I kept rolling off! 😅 We don’t take advantage of the amenities but they looked good.

The hotel is nice to stay at, but feels a bit dingy and in need of some updates. For example the light was flickering in the bathroom and it looked like the woodwork and tile surrounding the shower was covered in mold or erosion. Also, when we checked in, the person helping us was a bit pretentious and it felt like we were bothering him. There are other staff that feel very nice and helpful tho. It's more reasonably priced, so thats a bonus.

Good location— near the 6 line and Madison Park. Bathrooms a bit dated but water pressure was good. The king bed room was large by NY standards

Staying at The Freehand was interesting. I was initially shocked by my tiny dark room with a window that faced the back interior of the hotel. I had to use a flashlight to identify items in my suitcase. That being said, I was grateful that the room was exceptionally quiet and I spent very little time there. The front desk and housekeeping staff was hands down wonderful ... attentive, courteous, and efficient.

Wonderful staff, easy check in and out. Room was tiny but generally clean and was fine for our purposes. The restaurant is really good. Would definitely stay here again.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Overall, a mediocre hotel and overpriced for what it offers. Perhaps I was unlucky, but the AC in my room did not work, and the fan provided as a replacement wasn’t functioning properly either. On the positive side, the hotel is well located if you need to stay in that particular part of the city.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Not a city girl so this location seemed very loud to me, but I hear that is just NYC. Tiny rooms but clean and cute. Window air conditioner was right next to the bed and constantly cycled on and off all day and night. The hotel location was terrific with lots of great places to eat or grab a coffee.
