About this area

Chicago

Located near the beach, Freehand Chicago is in Chicago's River North neighbourhood, an area with good shopping.

I was in a queen room for two people but I would strongly suggest getting a bigger room there wasn’t enough space to even put our carry on suitcase down. Perhaps it’s ok if you need somewhere to sleep for the night, but wouldn’t recommend longer. It does beat a hostel! And the staff and decor is amazing!!

It was freezing in my room. I had to sleep with a winter coat on. And they kept subtracting charges to my account, totaling more than double than what I was said to owe.

Very nice hotel, pleasantly surprised that the bunkbeds could fit a 6-foot people more than comfortably. The beds were very spacious and comfortable. I would definitely stay at the Freehand again. I also thought it to be unique that the lobby becomes a bar at night. I don't remember it saying that in the description, but I wasn't upset about it.
