4.8/10
Wrigley Field, Northalsted and bars galore: a fun base, far from downtown.
Lakeview holds two of Chicago's best-known nightlife pockets: Wrigleyville, where the bars around Wrigley Field fill before and after every Cubs game, and Northalsted, the first officially designated gay village in the United States, along Halsted Street. Southport and Broadway add brunch spots and indie shops, and the lakefront parks are a short walk east.
The Red Line at Addison and Belmont reaches the Loop in about twenty minutes, so downtown sightseeing means a daily commute. Game days and big weekends like Pride and Market Days bring crowds, noise and higher rates. Stay here for baseball or Northalsted; skip it on a first trip built around downtown sights or if you want quiet nights.
Each hotel is scored for what it is by Axel's own review. The rate is one stay Axel priced this week, beside the public rate for the same dates. Typical Axel rate $305 a night.
