For the price, The Freehand is an excellent value. The rooms are super clean and chic, and the building overall is old school and fun.
The rooftop bar has excellent views, great drinks (I hear, since I don't drink), and decent food. Great bar atmosphere overlooking the LA skyline. Staff were pretty darn great up there, too.
Parking is a bit of a struggle, so if you're bringing a car, just know you have to pay to park overnight in adjacent lot. It's not like every single hotel in the world wouldn't also charge you for parking overnight, it's just that this lot is not owned by the hotel, nor is it really clear where they want you to park. It's DTLA, so let's cut them some slack on this one, as I'm sure getting a zoning permit for valet is likely a pain.
