We love everything about The Oswego Hotel from the service to the location to the boutique feel of the hotel. Very cozy and accommodating. Our dogs love it too:)
The suite had a premium feel to it, I went with my family and the space didn't feel cramped nor did we have to get seperate bedrooms and it was close to everything in the city
Suite with separate bedroom and fully stocked kitchen. Fantastic location - easy to walk around downtown and waterfront. Very friendly staff. Would highly recommend. Love this hotel!
The staff in the office and the restaurant were fabulous. We enjoyed the room very much, it was comfortable and very clean.
We will definitely be back!
So great with dogs, large suites, super comfortable and quiet location.
Restaurant is terrible though. Would not eat there again but lots of restaurants within walking distance
