Only one issue. The bed size was listed as a queen. It was a double bed. Both my partner and I are tall people. We were quite sleep deprived in the morning.

A perfect scenic location, walking distance to the harbour, Empress hotel and the Parliament! The restaurant next to the lobby is fairly priced and provides great coffee. Front desk staff are friendly and helpful.

I had a wonderful stay at The Oswego Hotel. it truly exceeded my expectations. The location is perfect, just a short walk to everything. The room was spacious and well-equipped with a full kitchen, which made my stay even more convenient. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended!

We loved our stay and would definitely come here again. The staff were so professional and friendly. Room was perfect with the exception of no air conditioning. We had a warm week 11-16 C for day time highs and found the room quite warm even wth the fans going and windows open.

While the customer service at this hotel was quite great, we noticed quite a bit of overlooked issues: Our room was not cleaned properly upon arrival and the two days after. After many complaints, we finally received a proper stay over clean on our last day there There are also a number of dangerous, overlooked things in the room such as: 15amp plugs where a 20 should be, electrical issues all over with plugs right next to sinks without GFI, strangely wired lighting and appliances throughout the room, and cracks/loose fixtures. We would not choose to stay there again as with the amount we spent, we unfortunately expected better. The customer service really was great. We did submit this feedback to them directly as well and hope that they take it into consideration when looking at ways to improve their property
