Great views and location in Chicago

This is our 2nd stay at the Wade, it was previously called the W. We love the location, steps from Ohio beach and a short walk to the Navy Pier. Plenty of walkable places to eat. Bus stops are 5 minute walk. Michigan Ave. is about a 10 min walk. We love the view from our room! A great view of Navy Pier and the lake! Rooms are clean and well attended. Free coffee in the lobby in the morning was nice.
