"The "

"Not my first time staying here, but first in almost a decade. Hotel is in a great spot, but we were a little disappointed this time with a few aspects. We could not check in early which was TOTALLY fine, as they were fully booked. We were allowed to check our bags in early, but were told that they did not have a luggage cart to help us with our 5-6 bags. This ended up happening a second time later on as well when we checked in and retrieved the bags. We booked a suite, and again, it was just “meh.” The fridge had 3 long black hairs in it including one that was dangling from the middle shelf. We also had all of our stuff moved around by housekeeping which is a big irk for us. Lastly, it could have just been where the doors were positioned, but any time the room next to us opened and closed their door, it sounded as if it were being slammed shut. Unfortunately for us, that happened throughout the night 3-4 times and woke us up every time. The staff was super nice, the location is solid, the restaurant attached is great, and we will stay here again at some point. I know that this place is better than this one experience."

"Clean room and great location "

"The Freehand is a funky little hotel located near Michigan Ave and the waterfront in Chicago. The decor is cool, with a dark reddish vibe. There is a comfortable lounge, a nice bar, and a cafe. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. There is a gym though I didn’t see it. And they held onto our suitcases for us after we checked out while we did a day full of activities before going to the airport. Cons - the room and bathroom were small and very tight. Our room door was difficult to open and close. The cafe was not serving breakfast the one day I was there without explanation. The bar had a very small wine selection - no Chardonnay. The front desk was usually manned by only one person and they had to answer the phone while we were trying to check in and out. It was fine for our purposes, and not too expensive, but even though I gave it 4 stars I probably would not stay there again. I need a little more room and doors that close safely."
