I was very happy while I was staying at Freehand. The staff was wonderful, friendly and very understanding. I always felt safe while staying there. I loved the experience and the food at the restaurant was very good. I plan to go with them again, the next time I visit Los Angeles CA. Thank you staff at Freehand LA

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
