My go to in Midtown

Stayed here with some friends in the bunk bed room. It was convenient to our other friend who lives in the city. Very cool building. Sometimes there was a wait for the elevator, but it typically moved quickly.

Great place to stay. Very convenient and beautiful. Only issue is that you can't get out of the bed if you're on the window side and there are two of you. But we really enjoyed the unique decor, every night cleaning, and staff.

HVAC not working

The hotel was nice enough but the hvac was not working properly. I had to call 3 times over an hour before someone showed up. He left me space heater and told me he would reset the system. I had no time to argue as I had to meet my date

Excellent place to stay in the city.

I always stay at Freehand when I am visiting the city for work trips which is a few times a year. It is spacious and clean, the beds are comfortable as well. I love the cafe for breakfast and the hotel restaurants and bars are great. The only downfall is if they are closed for private events.
