I booked this room not knowing that Freehand is a Hostel/Hotel. I was pleasantly surprised when I found out though! I love to travel and meet new people! Due to Covid the bar was closed, but I understood that when I booked and that was ok. Under normal circumstances I think that hanging in the common area and the bar to meet other travelers would be a very fun and cool experience. The location of the Freehand is excellent and within easy walking distance to every single thing my boyfriend and I planned to do while we were in Chicago. I will stay here again and enjoyed the stay. The staff were nice and friendly, our room was clean and cute. Loved the radio! The tile job in the shower was beautiful! Thanks for a great time!
