I love the Freehand. Even though the rooms are small, they have everything necessary for a delightful stay. The decor is surprising, warm, and unique. Its location makes NYC very walkable. And if you don’t want to walk there are always taxis available and the subway station is nearby.

A delightful artistic vibe in rooms. Cozy and clean. Not much shelf space in bathroom but that’s not a dealbreaker. 😊

Sufficient and no frills

Had a smoothe check in. They didnt have a small shop for incidentals and other toiletries which was a shame. The room was decorated well and comfortable. The toilets are very very low. The windows are thin so you'll hear everything outside. There was an actual space heater plugged in on the floor which was very strange. It also happened to be the one that was recalled due to fire risk and was on the national news only 2 days prior. Overall not bad, sufficient is the word I would use but the price was aligned with that. I chose this hotel because of the location where my meetings were.

Perfect location right off the 23rd Ave. 6 train. Starbucks next to the subway. Room with queen bed was perfectly sized for a small space. Nice bathroom with shower, although the shower took about 3 minutes to get to lukewarm. 3 elevators all running and very fast. I’d definitely stay here again.
