Rooms are quiet, well appointed with amenities like a small stove top, microwave oven, refrigerator and dishwasher with dinnerware dining area.The bathroom is spacious. The bed is big and comfy. Staff are courteous and helpful. The dining room has a lovely, cozy ambiance with full service for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A bonus for dog lovers is that it’s also pet friendly. The location is convenient to downtown and very walkable. I would definitely stay there again.

Always a great stay at Oswego - love the area and the convenience of the rooms being more like condos. Staff helpful and friendly! Lovely views. Been staying there for years -- my only wish is that they would upgrade the gym :-)

Lovely property with great in room amenities, good location and pleasant staff. The Expedia perks were disappointing though. Instead of a room upgrade we were given one of the smallest rooms in the hotel and the free drink offered by the hotel was a drip coffee or tea. Free parking was appreciated! I would stay there again but pay for a larger room instead of counting on an upgrade.

Location excellent - a clean comfortable property. Only minor issue - I reported that sliding glass door handle to deck was loose; maintenance came to repair but after their visit the door would not lock. I told front desk, and they advised maintenance, but maintenance did not attend. Door still not lockable when I checked out two days later but was on floor nine so most likely not a security issue.

Beautiful fresh lobby, outdated room. Was clean but could use a remodel. The stereo was so old it had a cd/mp3 player and no Bluetooth. The tv didn’t have any music on it either, so that kinda killed the vibe. On our way out of the room we could smell gas, so we thought we would let someone know asap. When I told the woman at the front desk she said it’s an old building, it happens. We returned back to the hotel at midnight, our keys wouldn’t work, and were locked out of our room. Also, apparently they start housekeeping at 8am on Sundays. After 20 mins of door slamming and vacuuming, i called front desk and the woman said she would look into it, and the banging around kept on for another 30 mins. Had a delicious breakfast downstairs, and the restaurant staff was super nice.
