8/10 Very Good

Very NYC-esque. Chic and dark.
Our room had no heat. No glasses. No coffeemaker. The sent someone with a blanket and 4 paper cups. The vibe was chic and NYC-esque (dark and small) it was artistically decorated.

6/10 Good

Nice design & location, but request a high floor
We stayed at the Feeehand for one night while in the city for a show. We were pleased when the hotel was able to check us in as soon as we arrived at 9am. Unfortunately, the room they gave us was on the third floor. We didn't realize this was an issue until that night when the room was vibrating and we could hear the thumping music and bass from the bar/club below. The music lasted until after 3am, which made for a very unrestful night. Overall the hotel design is nice and location is good. If you stay, I'd insist on a room on a higher floor to avoid the misfortune we had. Was definitely not worth the price for a sleepless night.

Can’t recommend.
We were on 3rd floor. Directly beneath us was a Halloween party until 4 am both nights. Not appropriate. Front desk staff were disheveled

Cannot Recommend
I was very disappointed with my stay at The Freehand, as I used to live in New York and years ago enjoyed the rooftop. The front desk was rude and a bit snooty, which for the rate of this hotel feels very unnecessary for the attitude and not caring about a guest's stay. I asked for a kettle when I checked in and they said one would be sent up within 10-15 minutes, but I never got one the entire time. The rooms are extremely small, even by New York's standards. I got a King room, which I don't believe was actually a King. They put me in a room with one small window that looked into a creepy small area between two buildings so I had no natural light. There were virtually no amenities in the room either, besides shampoo, conditioner and body wash. The walls are very thin, so you hear everything especially if close to an elevator, making it hard to sleep or sleep in. I think there are better options within the price range than the Freehand.
