Freehand Chicago is THE SPOT. I can’t believe how close it was to everything. It was a very short (and mostly straight) walk to cloud gate/millennium park. All the best food spots are walking distance. The staff is incredible.
I had an early conference and did not want to bring my backpack with me because it was so large and very “hiker” type. It didn’t fit the business attire I was wearing to remain professional and they kindly held it in an office for me. Despite the fact I had checked out that morning.
That is hospitality if I’ve ever seen it.
The room was shared and you get what you get with roommates. 2 were very friendly, quiet, and respectful of others. While the 3rd was very loud and had no idea what it meant to be polite to others at 6am... some people’s children, I guess.
I would recommend & stay here again without question. Also there was a Halloween party downstairs and the locals seemed to love this spot.
