Not worth it, go to...

Liked: Location is good, and the bathroom is decent.
Disliked: In simple words, this is an up-scaled hostel. The rooms are tiny, almost imposible to walk around if you are not staying alone. The mattress is TERRIBLE, probably the worst mattress I have slept in a hotel room ever. Not worth the money. We changed to a different hotel just 2 blocks away (21c museum hotel), which for almost the same price ($10 more per night) gave us an amazing room, 3 times as big, modern, clean, etc. Freehand is surely not the right place to stay when you visit Chicago, take your money and go to 21c museum hotel instead.

Passable

Really noisy!

Disliked: I got a private room, with private bathrooms with my friend. I couldn?t sleep, every 5 min I could hear someone flush or using water all the night.The room was really bad isolated and too close to the plumbing. It was an awful experience. I don?t recommend. Really disappointed.

Great staff, fantastic location, might...

Liked: Once I got into a private room, it was very nice. The bed was comfy, the bathroom was very clean, and the room had everything needed for a pleasant stay.
Disliked: I had originally booked a bed in a female dorm. However, when I arrived, I discovered that my only roommate was homeless (her words) and had been there for over 2 weeks. Her stuff was scattered all over the room, and I was uncomfortable with the smell and with her behavior. Although I realize a hotel can't double-check everything, I feel a time limit might have helped with this particular situation. I moved into a private room, at an additional cost which I didn't anticipate in my original budget, but it was worth it to me. The staff was extremely helpful with my move to the room.

Superb

Disliked: Too many people in the neighborhood believe in the Coronavirus.
