Nice, spacious rooms, very friendly staff. Good location. No AC and I really didn’t see anything other than opting out of daily cleaning services that I would consider to be eco friendly practices

Good stay with a few quirks
Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Oswego. It is in a nice, quiet location close to all the main sites. Two things to note, more so as observations than complaints. 1. The hotel advertises their pet friendliness and this was part of what motivated our decision to book. There was a cute note and a treat for our dog, but not the other perks that were noted when we booked (dog bed, bowls, etc.). Again, not really a complaint per se but for the room price and the fact it was specifically advertised on their page and website, we did expect it. 2. We were surprised that the room refresh didn’t include making the bed? When we arrived back in our room after a long day we initially thought the room hadn’t been cleaned up at all, but then noticed towels folded. So someone had been in the room and tidied, but did not make the bed. Not the end of the world, but surprising.

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.
