My stay at The Wade overall was pretty good. I booked here because it has a pool, and I thought I would have a nice view (city view). The view wasn’t available, I was on the 27th floor and only had a view of the roof of other buildings, and other apartments. I kept the window covered for the most part. The pool was unkept in my opinion, I didn’t feel comfortable with the dirt ring on the white tile that surrounded the pool, and the water looked and felt pretty grimy, I felt it needed to be serviced. Though my main attractions to this location were not fulfilled it was very quiet on my floor, the cleaning crew were very polite and generous, and the valet was very friendly and always gave me great service despite it being very busy over the course of my stay.

We had a really good stay. The hotel is in a great location. We got a lakeview room, and it was right in front of the lake by Navy Pier. The view was beautiful. We had a king-size bed, and it was very comfortable. Check-in and check-out were very quick and easy. That made everything smooth from start to finish. The bathroom was clean and nice. The food and drinks were also very good. The only downside was that our room was close to the elevator, so it was a little noisy. You could hear it going up and down. There were also people smoking weed, and the smell would come in sometimes, which we did not like. But overall, it was a good stay. It was very close to Navy Pier, which was perfect since most of our plans were there.
