Top St. James Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Freehand Chicago

8/10 Good

"We had one night at the Freehand Hotel. The hotel is a throw back in time and has many of its original details still present. Our room was quite small with limited assess to to far side of the bed. The same was true for the bathroom. Nicely tiled but very tight. We had a wonderful breakfast at the front bar area and our server was very nice and good. It is centrally located and easy to walk to many attractions and restaurants."
