It was a really nice stay at the freehand. Some of the pictures can be confusing (like of the lobby and the lounge) , but it is definitely a nice hotel for both the price and the location.
Its got a sort of “midcentury modern, AHS hotel, southwestern style, but in chicago” vibe going on. Its really got some character in the decor and all the details, lighting, etc. if you’re into trendy hotels, you will like this one.
At the time of this post a one night stay was only 125$ per night. In a really great location right across from the magnificent mile and in close reach of some grocers and markets (eataly) Its a proposition hard to beat.
One thing I would have to note is that the pictures of the room are somewhat deceiving. For the room we stayed in, it was quite small, maybe only 10x10 with a bathroom adjoined, and one window facing an interior For just a place to sleep its great! But if small rooms aren’t quite your thing, maybe consider a room with two beds.
Honestly it was a great stay, I would come again. 8.5/10
