I had a great stay at the Wade Hotel in Chicago! The room was very clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly, professional, and welcoming from check-in to check-out. The amenities were convenient, and the location made it easy to get around the city. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Chicago.
I loved the location near to everything but not surrounded by just buildings which was what I was looking for a great pier view, the size of the rooms were perfect and the staff were amazing. I will be staying here again!
