We really liked the Oswego and plan to return. The room was comfortable. We didn’t have a lot of interaction with the staff, but what we had was professional and easy. The location is excellent, walkably close to town while avoiding the busy core. We found the attached restaurant to be very good and finally, there are four ev chargers in the underground parking which was extremely convenient

The young lady that worked the front desk on Saturday and Sunday, October 18 and 19 was exceptional. Very helpful and nice. The room was as big and nice as my condominium. The toilet paper, shower pressure and pullout bed were just a little substandard, but I would still recommend this hotel to anyone.
