We stayed for 3 nights for a birthday celebration. The room was clean and the kitchen was well equipt. The large tub was lovely. Walking distance to plenty of dining options as well as tasty food at the restaurant onsite. Live music was a great addition

Great place, good vibe in restaurant lobby area. My only complaint was the types of toilet paper they use. Not rolls but sheets like they have in the UK. They were rather low too so it was difficult using them. Other than that small minor thing, the place was great, bed was comfortable and I slept like a baby.

We are long time fans of the Oswego and will continue to be so. Staff are always lovely, accommodating, professional and personable. Rooms always feel so spacious and bright and being able to walk and enjoy the neighbourhood and harbour offerings is such a bonus. We always rely on the Oswego as they consistently meet and go above our expectations.
