Axel's take: 8.1/10
A strong practical pick near West Acres, with friendly staff but some tired rooms. A straightforward 3-star chain hotel near West Acres and I-94, scored for what it is.
Wingate is a straightforward 3-star chain hotel near West Acres and I-94, and we'd pick it for a shopping trip or road-trip stop. Booking.com and Expedia guests repeatedly praise clean, spacious rooms, helpful staff and the included hot breakfast; Tripadvisor feedback backs up the service praise. Free parking, an indoor pool and a gym make it a useful, good-value base rather than somewhere you book for atmosphere.
The main compromise is condition: several recent Expedia guests describe worn interiors, with occasional mattress and maintenance complaints despite the largely positive feedback. Also, don't count on a communal hot tub: 2026 guests on Booking.com and Trip.com say it has been removed, although some online descriptions still suggest otherwise. We'd skip it if fresh interiors or a hot tub are priorities.
