The Wade

The Wade

8/10 Good
"Our stay at The Wade on August 22, 2026 was 2rd time for our family, and we had one city-view room and 2 lake-view rooms. The Wade has great location, beautiful view, and clear rooms. I gave it a rating of 4 this time because I simply could not accept the service for the following reasons. 1. We checked in after 4pm, the hotel's official check-in time is 4pm, yet we were initially given only one room. We got the 2rd room around 5:30pm, and the last one after 10pm. 2. The elevator system was too bad so we had to wait too long for it every time. 3. Around 1:00 PM on 8/13, I was queuing to pick up our stored luggages. There are many customers were waiting for the service. When it was my turn, the front desk staff ignored me and instead attended to a customer who had been standing by side and was not in line. I objected, but the staff claimed falsely that customer arrived before us, even though that customer had definitely arrived after us. Standing nearby, my son was very angry and said: "Let's never stay at this hotel again.!""

"The decorations and hotel were nice and you did not feel like you were in a chain hotel. Tighten the outlet covers in the room. My only complaint is don't have the maid service knock on the door when you are checking out that day."

"Beautiful building. Clean room and fairly spacious. Bed wasn't super comfortable but it was fine for 2 night stay. The elevators were fast and we had a small view of the lake and Michigan Ave. Super convenient location with lots of food choices within short walk. Easy walk to museum center and Soldier Field. Close to Metra and L stations. Would definitely stay here again."
