At 11am as I was waiting for my room at FREEHAND where I have stayed countless times. The room was to being cleaned as I was waiting exhausted from a New York flight,in the lobby. A rude security guard questioned me in GESTAPO-like style. He was boisterous not caring patrons were just off long haul flights just wanting to check in and insulted listening to his laughing and ridiculous jokes. The front desk clerk seemed unable to deal with thls security guards recklessness and unprofessionalism and was quite pleasant as he gave me my room at 12 noon. This security guard should be fired since he gives FREEHAND a bad reputation and is not good for the paying guests of this hotel

Freehand LA charges guests a resort fee for use of the pool...but doesn't allow guests to access the pool area. Had an uncomfortable stay. Hostel rooms too small, bed uncomfortable, no place to hang clothing/towels in the too small room bathrooms, tiny shelf in shower stall, sinks not in the bathroom, small "lounge" in the basement was cold & had minimal seating. The only positives were the location & beautiful/comfy lobby (hard to find an empty seat though). I would not recommend this hotel.
