"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."

"Clean, comfortable room -- staff fairly responsive. Great location for seeing the sights! Right on the river trail, walking distance to Art Institute, Millennium Park, Chicago Theater -- the room was advertised with a kitchenette -- but it turned out to be just a microwave and fridge. A kitchenette usually involves a cooktop and some cookware provided. So maybe a more accurate description. But otherwise it was fine. "
