I had a lovely stay at the Oswego Hotel, positioned perfectly just a short walk from the waterfront and downtown Victoria. The room was spacious and sunlight-filled, giving off a cozy condo vibe. However, I did notice some dust under the dresser and heard the occasional noise from surrounding areas, which was a bit distracting.

I just had an amazing three-night stay at the Oswego Hotel, and honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The location is fab—quiet side street but still super close to the inner harbor and awesome parks. The service was great, with friendly staff eager to help, but I did encounter a few hiccups with housekeeping. Overall, it was a fantastic stay with just minor room service issues to note.

My stay at the Oswego was a mix of highs and lows. On one hand, the room was spacious and well-equipped, with a lovely balcony. However, the service left a lot to be desired, especially during breakfast, which I found to be both poor in selection and quality. Overall, the location is fantastic, but the inconsistencies in service make me hesitant to recommend it wholeheartedly.

I had a lovely stay at Oswego Hotel, with its charming boutique vibe and excellent location. The two-bedroom suite was spacious and comfortable, providing all the amenities needed for a relaxing visit. However, housekeeping could be more consistent, as there were a few days when my room wasn't serviced or supplies weren't replenished. Overall, I would consider returning due to its great atmosphere and friendly staff! 😊

My stay at Oswego Hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The room was fantastic with a great layout and a full kitchen, which would have been great if I could find nearby groceries. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the main attractions but away from the hustle and bustle. However, I did miss some additional daily housekeeping services, as they only changed towels and emptied the trash.
