Very nice boutique hotel in a good area that is walkable. There are two bars/clubs at the bar but staying at the hotel doesn't give you any perks to go into them or discounts but good to go and visit them out.

Very NYC-esque. Chic and dark.
Our room had no heat. No glasses. No coffeemaker. The sent someone with a blanket and 4 paper cups. The vibe was chic and NYC-esque (dark and small) it was artistically decorated.

Nice design & location, but request a high floor
We stayed at the Feeehand for one night while in the city for a show. We were pleased when the hotel was able to check us in as soon as we arrived at 9am. Unfortunately, the room they gave us was on the third floor. We didn't realize this was an issue until that night when the room was vibrating and we could hear the thumping music and bass from the bar/club below. The music lasted until after 3am, which made for a very unrestful night. Overall the hotel design is nice and location is good. If you stay, I'd insist on a room on a higher floor to avoid the misfortune we had. Was definitely not worth the price for a sleepless night.

Normally I’d recommend this hotel but not anymore. I use this hotel for work and in the past enjoyed it but this time the front desk staff was unpleasant and the room was poorly cared for. My shower wouldn’t drain, tv wouldn’t connect to the internet for streaming, room wasn’t clean, front desk staff was dressed inappropriately and actually hung up on us when we called to ask a question. When we went down to ask they wouldn’t even speak to my partner. Sadly don’t plan on using the freehand again

TV and WiFi didn’t work properly for entirety of trip. Severe mold discovered in first room, and we were itchy the entire trip from how dirty it was. Omar one of the managers comped us a night off but the previous manager we spoke to only offered an amenity fee of $100 off so we had to circle back to get this. The first refund the first manager promised didn’t come through fully to the amount he promised and it amounted to $73 dollar refund.
