Freehand was even better than expected! It looks just like the photos and the location is incredible for the value. My room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was included (pretty good coffee, a fruit, a pastry, a juice), the room was inexpensive, and I was only a block away from the Marriott Chicago where my conference took place. I honestly couldn't have asked for more and will definitely be back. My roommates were also tidy and polite! It's a great way to stay in the heart of downtown Chicago for cheap.
