“The Wade commands exceptional lake and city views, particularly striking from its higher floors. While the contemporary design is evident and the bar area buzzes with energy, a closer look reveals occasional lapses in maintenance within rooms, like in bathroom fixtures. Still, the comfortable beds and the generally welcoming staff make for a solid stay in a prime Chicago location.”
