As advertised. Located in a lovely, quiet neighbourhood while still being walkable into downtown shops/restaurants. Fully equipped with mini fridge, dishwasher, Keurig, and everything you’d need to stay for any duration. A great stay overall.

Really nice hotel with suites - we had a one bedroom with a full kitchen. This makes it easy when traveling with a toddler. Pack and play was provided. Amazing restaurant / cafe on site, fun lobby to hang out in and board games to borrow. Laundry room available to guests. It is very close to bus stops but also walking distance to the Harbour front and downtown.

A very nice boutique style hotel. Stayed in a one bedroom suite with a full kitchen which was perfect. It had an incredible view of the ocean. It’s perfect for 2 people (for eating), in terms of seating room at the counter. Three or four people would be tight. It’s is located in a residential community just one street from the main road and close to everything Victoria has to offer. Loved our stay and will stay here again.

Jim, White Rock

Disliked: Amenities
We recently stayed at the Oswego Hotel for three nights and were quite surprised and disappointed by a few things. Firstly, the lack of air conditioning in the room made it very uncomfortable during the warmer nights, which was unexpected for a hotel of this standard. Additionally, the noise between rooms was quite frustrating, as we could hear our neighbors clearly, impacting our rest and relaxation. Moreover, the offer of just one free coffee for a three-night stay felt rather underwhelming and cheap. We anticipated a bit more in terms of hospitality and thoughtful amenities. While the hotel has potential, these issues significantly impacted our experience. We likely will not rebook or recommend it to others based on this stay.
