The rooms are simple, not that uncomfortable, but don’t expect more and do not spect a good room service, they may or may not do the cleaning service despite my requests and my “please clean” sign (they only did it once in 4 days and told me that “they do it every other day”) there is no drinkable water on the bedrooms and they wont give you more than one bottle and only on the check in. The room wasn’t completely clean either, when we were trying to find a bottle of water, we found out a minibar with some previous guest food and sprite. The coffee is good, but way too pricey, however a great start for your day. Think about it as a “fancy-ish hostel” more than a hotel. ### Julie Hawkinson in the last week · 5.0/5 We had our 50th birthday party at Rudolph’s Bar at the Freehand Hotel, and it was absolutely perfect! This was the second event I’ve planned with Jennifer Wong, and she is amazing—organized, responsive, and made everything so easy. The space has such a fun vibe and was the perfect setting for an unforgettable night. The drinks were delicious, the bartenders were fantastic, and everything went off without a hitch. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate. Highly recommend for anyone planning a special event! ### Reann Lopez in the last week · 5.0/5 Amazing clean and great staff. ### Alice Hellmund in the last week · 5.0/5 Krish was super helpful on our first day and went way above and beyond to help us and gave great suggestions on our first day! ### Shane Upson in the last week · 2.0/5 KING ROOM NOT GOOD - JUST CHECKED IN- The gentleman with the accent working the front desk was impressive when it comes to his hospitality skills. Friendly and Engaged. I would hire him for my teams (I thought about it). The room sits at 78 degrees when the air is on its highest setting, I called and asked for assistance or another room. Waiting 2 hours already and have important meetings I have to get to at 6pm. Let me preface I strongly dislike heat, it makes me irritable and uncomfortable because my body temperature is naturally high. The fridge doesn't cool and I have peptides that need to be refrigerated, the knob didn't work so I pulled the fridge out to see if the control was on the back and it was covered in a solid wall of dust. I thought wiping it would make a difference but it's still not cold. I called downstairs and am still waiting on the engineering team. I called back over an hour later and still have not had anyone come to the room. The carpets are worn, the drapes are stained, the walls are chipped and the armoire is scratched and chipped as well. I wouldn't mind Alot of this if I were cool, but I'm hot. The lobby is adorable, the ambiance is great outside the room. Just don't get a room here. I paid almost $200 a night for four days, and thought it would be more. Bathroom and bed are clean, just hot as HELL. ## Similar listings - [Holiday Inn Express Vancouver-Metrotown (Burnaby) by IHG](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/holiday-inn-express-vancouver-metrotown-burnaby-by-ihg/) - [Victorian Hotel](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/victorian-hotel/) - [JW Marriott Parq Vancouver](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/jw-marriott-parq-vancouver/) - [Accent Inns Burnaby](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/accent-inns-burnaby/) - [Nice home away at Vancouver near YVR](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/nice-home-away-at-vancouver-near-yvr/) - [Hyatt Regency Vancouver](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/hyatt-regency-vancouver/) ## Nearby listings - [UCLA Meyer and Renee Luskin Conference Center](https://soccertravelhub.com/listing/ucla-meyer-and-renee-luskin-conference-center/) — 17.7 km ## Images ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/freehand-los-angeles-1.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/freehand-los-angeles-2.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/freehand-los-angeles-3.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/freehand-los-angeles-4.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/freehand-los-angeles-5.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/freehand-los-angeles-6.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/freehand-los-angeles-7.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/freehand-los-angeles-8.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/freehand-los-angeles-9.jpg) ![](https://soccertravelhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/freehand-los-angeles-10.jpg)
