Love the 2 bedroom suite. Very spacious and clean. The outdoor area provides enough space for my German Shepherd to roam around. Walkable distance to the Fishman wharf and the Parliament House but it is located in a quiet area. Would love to stay here again next time.

It was very nice and had a very well organized check-in. My only complaint is that the room was quite stuffy with no A/C.

Good Location, everything in a walkable distance. Nice amenities, room mostly clean (except the floor). Had a semi-negative experience with check-in. We arrived 5 hours early and asked for an early check-in. We had two small kids with us. We were told that we will get a text message if the room is ready earlier. But they simply did not send any messages although later we learned that the room was ready around 2pm (regular check-in was at 4pm) and we had to wait until 4pm to be able to enter it. These kind of details make the difference between good and excellent hotels.

The Oswego Hotel was a short walk from the ferry! The room was gorgeous! I honestly wasn't expecting the room to be as nice as it was- Private balcony, kitchenette, and the bathroom was huge with a stunning view of the Habor. The photos of the room listed on site does not do it justice at all. The bed was very comfortable too- really loved the pillows. Esthetically, loved the room- everything from the radio playing light music for greeting to the little tissue stamp on the toilet paper lol The staff was friendly and accommodating- especially the ladies at the front desk. Will stay again!
