The place is lovely. I love the lobby room with the bar next to it and LOVE the games you can sit and play. Gorgeous atmosphere. Only comment would be the drinks are too expensive. $24 is too high for a cocktail. And the perk of a “specialty coffee” is not a specialty coffee. So you know it’s actually just a drip coffee. So I would say I wouldn’t say you’re offering this as a perk when you could make it in your room. It’s more about managing expectations I’d say. The whole stay has been fantastic. Only disappointment is the bar/coffee spot in the lobby. Beautiful but too expensive and not honouring the “perk”.

This is a very nice hotel. It has underground parking. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had a room with a kitchen and a separate bedroom which we appreciate because my husband and I go to bet at different times. The only issue we had is there was a window air conditioner that didn’t work very well. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a studio which was very well laid out with the mini kitchen. It had everything we needed, even a cooktop and small appliances. It was clean, bright, comfortable and in a great location for walking to the harbor or biking to a number of places.

I almost didn’t choose this property when I saw what looked like a kitchenette in the room because we are on vacation and I didn’t want my wife looking at that. But the room was gorgeous, very well designed, and we didn’t even notice that it can be used for heating or cooking. Also, we came on the ferry from Port Angeles and driving offf the boat we drove across the street and a couple blocks in to arrive at our garage parking for the property. Downtown Victoria was a 10 minute walk. We will visit again and highly recommend the Hotel Oswego.

Booked this hotel because of the location to the inner harbor. We loved everything about this hotel, BUT not the toilet paper! The TP was too flimsy with the precut sheets, and would rip apart to easily.
