Weekend Away

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.

Nice Hotel but very low security

Beautiful Hotel, however security is very low the hotel had no one at the front and after returning to the hotel around 1 am was very disappointed to be greated with an unlocked front door, no staff or security in sight, the elevator does not use a key card scan to acesss the floor or parkade and room have nothing but typical dead bolt on door. This left not only us but our vehicle at risk. Highly suggest the hotels improves their saftey and security. The hotel rooms and facilites where nice a bit worn but nice, however I also have to say I wasnt impressed with washrooms cleanliness as the sink in bathroom was so pluged it filled just washing hands and the hand soap container had neeeded to be wipped off as it had dried soap stuck to end. The staff was fabulous very wonderful check in and was very happy to see such a dog friendly and prepared hotel, we did not bring ours but saw a few with theirs and lots of things to spoil your pup with! We ultimately enjoyed our stay but wouldnt consider staying again unless security changed.
