Freehand was a last-minute stay for me as I had to take my planned trip early because of hurricane Nicole + flight cancellations. And I was pleasantly surprised by my experience!
Freehand has a cool retro aesthetic, is centrally located to everything a tourist would want to visit and close to the train station.
The pros:
- check-in was a smooth and quick process
-staff was friendly and accommodating
- the unit looks just as pictured, the bed is comfy (you pick the top or bottom bed)
- the a/c works great
- there’s a fun photo booth right in the lobby and a bar/cafe
- the elevator won’t go up unless you scan your keycard (so extra security there!)
-many restaurants + things to do close by
-there’s a plug right over the bed frame so it’s convenient to charge your devices
-lockers are provided (but you need your own lock)
The cons:
- the bathroom is a little dirty-ish
- I wasn’t provided soap/ tooth paste or a towel (I used a small towel since I didn’t know I had to ask at the check-in for that)
- people check-in at random times so if they’re loud they will bother you while you’re sleeping
It’s a great place to stay for a great price!! Highly recommend!
