NEW YORK CITY HOTEL RECOMMENDATION

You guys know we recently took a trip to New York City, and we actually stayed in two different hotels. I’m going to review both hotels for you guys, so here’s the first!

The Freehand Hotel

- Located in Flatiron at 23 Lexington Avenue

- Room rates range from $250 to $600 per night; rates fluctuate based on dates

- We paid about $300 per night during Fashion Week

Pros:

- Located in Flatiron, this hotel is super centrally located. It’s a quick walk from Soho, Gramercy, and the East Village, and a 15 to 20 minute cab ride from the Upper East Side.

- There are tons of good breakfast spots nearby including Zucker’s Bagels and Ralph’s Coffee. There’s even a coffee shop in the lobby!

- For the location, this hotel is very reasonably priced based on other rates in the area.

Cons:

- The rooms were SUPER small. I know NYC hotel rooms are traditionally small, but these took it to a whole new level tbh.

- There was little to no natural light in our room which was a major bummer for me.

- The bathroom was super small and there was no space at the sink to even place a makeup bag.

Honestly, I don’t think I’d stay here again. The lack of natural light and getting-ready-space are deal breakers for me.
