Freehand is a great hostel vibe, but grown up (with a price to match)! Beds were well set up (comfy, nice linens, place to charge phone, light, semi-private), lockers were the right size for carryon luggage + backpack (bring your own lock—you can purchase one at CVS nearby), and fellow travelers were respectful and fun to talk to during my stay. Hotel bar stays open late, and is full of chatty folks. Location is convenient, walkable to lots of good food and theaters downtown (I was staying for a show at the Los Angeles Theater, which is a few blocks away).
Recommend for people looking for cheapish accommodations downtown, or looking for a stay that's more social.
