Thank you for staying with us!
Location couldn't have been better for us. The hotel has a parking arrangement with the ramp nextdoor that allowed us to park right there for a lower rate than the standard parking downtown. We never needed the car or a rail pass though. Everything was walking distance.
Don't expect a silent stay. It is an older building. We were near the top floor but sierins and horns were heard all hours.
The coffee shop and lobby are comfortable areas to hang out and breakfast was simple but sufficient. Staff was all friendly. I plan to return here!

This hotel was perfect for a few days in Chicago! The room was clean, bed was comfortable, and the room was far from the street so so quiet. The cafe down stairs was a fun place to relax. Loved my stay!

Cramped room. Super slow elevators. No mini fridge. No complimentary water ($8 a bottle!). And I am convinced the ringworm I got was from the room I was staying in.
On the plus side, the location was pretty central.

Hello, Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to review your stay. I am sorry to hear you found the room to be small and the property to be hard to find. I hope we can see you back again very soon for what I am sure will be a better experience.
I completely recommend Freehand Chicago particularly if you are traveling with a group. I brought a group of college students to Chicago and the rooms were perfect! The students had their own bunk with a light and outlets for their electronics. The rooms were very clean and you can't beat the location! The staff was courteous and very efficient. I will definitely be bringing students back to this hotel!!!!

Hello Cathy, Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to review your stay. I am so glad to hear you loved your visit and that you found our location and layout ideal for your group. I hope we can see you back again very soon.
Close to shops and restaurants and parking
The hotel was decorated very nicely and the staff were nice. However the room was smaller than expected and bed was very uncomfortable. Also we couldn’t control the temperature of our room. The location was excellent!

Hello Shasta, Thank you for staying with us and for taking the time to review your stay. I am so glad to hear you loved your visit and that you found our location to be great. I am sorry to hear you found the bed to be uncomfortable; we are checking it now as that is not up to our standards! I hope we can see you back again very soon.
This hotel has a very lively atmosphere. It's Bohemian style atmosphere is truly comfortable for all age groups. It has a Hostel style to it. If you like meeting people from all over the world who are laid back then I highly recommend this hotel for you. The location is great too!

I've stayed here before and will in the future. Great location, it was quiet even though I was in a dorm room. Everyone in the room was friendly.
