Love this place … and its legacy as the once (infamous?) George Washington Hotel. It’s glorious hybrid of old/school NY and casual contemporary with a vaguely scandi-vibe.

I loved the art, and everything about the hotel, from the lobby to the just the overall aesthetic.

Location, room furniture and set up, and the roof deck bar (Broken Shaker) was beautiful - so well decorated. Also enjoyed that there was an option of bars, but disappointed that none of them opened until 4pm. Check in is at 3pm, so maybe open one bar at 3pm ?

Freehand is full of character, decor in reception areas and adjacent cafe is beautiful, and the bedrooms are adorned with unique artwork. Reception staff and porters are super friendly and there's a great vibe about the place. There's a wonderful rooftop bar attached to the hotel, small gym on lower ground floor, a few retro games, which my children enjoyed, and a nice warm shower and toiletries to enjoy after a day's sightseeing. Great location and easy to travel uptown and downtown. Complementary water at reception was a nice touch.

The hotel has multiple restaurants and is fun. The location and food were good, the room had cool decor and the hotel has a great vibe

Quick & easy check-in and check-out, friendly staff, great location. They were not able to grant any early check-ins, but the hotel staff stored our bags so we could walk around and explore the city before checking in for the evening. The staff offered to arrange transportation (although it was not needed). The upstairs lobby and Georgia Room were very quaint, cozy, and well-decorated. The room and bathroom was a good size for us.

The hotel was clean, and smelled pleasant when you walked into the lobby. The hallways are a bit drab, and could use a bit more artistic touch, like color or murals to liven it up. Even paint the doors differently! Bathroom was nice, cool tile on floor and shower stall, with a cute black and white checkered curtain. Towels were fine, and shower power was good. A bit more light about the sink would help with make up application. I feel terrible that I totally forgot to leave the housekeeper a tip, after 3 days of staying there! Room #916, very nice job of taking care of our room. Loved the upstairs rooftop bar, and fun vibe, very convenient and nice, younger crowd. I think overall we enjoyed our stay, great location, cute little coffee shop (their staff was much nicer!) fun upstairs bars, and overall pretty quiet and low key. I would come back again, and hopefully see if any of the rooms are bigger, for what we paid for. Tell the staff to greet the guest with a big smile and welcome, it wouldn't hurt!!

I was a bit nervous because of some of the reviews about the noise, but I honestly had a great stay. Stayed on the 8th floor with interior facing room, which might explain no noise issues. I can imagine higher floors would be noisy with the club on the roof. Single Room was perfect for a solo traveler. Comfortable twin bed, cool decor. Yes, small, but it’s NYC. Just in the room to sleep. Hotel had cool vibes and the Calico bar was great. Would definitely stay again. Shower also had great water pressure.
