★ Real traveler reviews
Verbatim excerpts from TripAdvisor reviews.
“I paid nearly $500 per night and experienced one problem after another. Our original room had a known air conditioning issue. A technician told us the TV had to be removed for the AC to work properly, meaning we had to choose between air conditioning and a television.”
“My son was staying for business-he had a medical emergency due to an underlying health condition-I called front desk from out of state-.they called an ambulance and were kind enough to move his car untill he returned from Hospital!”
“Beware of how you book for Freehand. Although I'm pretty careful, I got snookered and somehow I booked through a third party when I thought I was booking directly with Freehand, The third party is Guest Reservations.”
