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.

The rooms were dirtier than expected and there were long pieces of hair on all the towels. The cable didn’t work the whole night and to top it off I got stuck in the bathroom due to the sliding doors.
