I stayed 2 nights in a Studio Suite as part of a package with the Victoria Clipper ferry from Seattle. I loved the room--I really did. I loved it. I loved the staff, I loved the amenities. The room service took forever, but they apologized and discounted to make up for that--and the food was fantastic when it did arrive.... More

From the Bright Studios to the One Bedroom Suites. Our last stay was May 26th for my daughters 20th Bday. There was 6 of us,... More

I purchased a room at this hotel as part of a package with the Clipper ferry from Seattle, with the intention of spending just a few hours in the room at night (and the rest exploring the town). But when we saw just how nice our room was (we had a 2-bedroom suite), we never wanted to leave! The room... More

The room itself was lovely; well-appointed and comfortable. However, we were not happy when we were awakened at 3:00 a.m. by a dog barking in the next room. We called the front desk and the young man working at that time told us that "the dog is back in his room now and is quiet". We were a bit miffed... More

The Oswego is a great find! The one bedroom suite was very comfortable with a full kitchen and small but well appointed living area. The bathroom is luxe with both a shower and a separate full tub. The bedroom is not spacious (no chairs in the bedroom, just a bed and wardrobe) but the bed was comfortable. The rooms have... More

Just got back from holiday in Canada and really enjoyed our stay at the Oswego. We liked the location because although the hotel is located downtown, it's actually just a few minutes walk from the very center of it, which made it very easy to get to everything, but also easy to get away from it all when we wanted...

Nice place with contemporary design. Our one bedroom suite was clean and roomy and the kitchen (though we never used it) was well-stocked with dishes and flatware, even a cake pan. The staff are very nice, too (especially the weekend bartender). Nothing was particularly above and beyond here compared to similar hotels, which is fine, but there WERE a few... More
