Definitely Coming Back

We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be coming back. The hotel is very pet friendly and comfortable. As we visit Victoria to visit family it is great to have a suite instead of a regular hotel room, people can come and visit in comfort, there are enough chairs and a place to eat without everyone having to squeeze onto the hotel bed.

Oswego was Wonderful!

The staff were exceptional - friendly, intuitive, professional. The Oswego's location was perfect, just a couple blocks from the Clipper terminal and a wonderful "home base" for our Girlfriend's Getaway. Room was immaculate, well appointed. We had a studio suite for five days and it exceeded our expectations. Easily walk everywhere in the beautiful city of Victoria. Can't wait to return to our new favorite hotel in our new favorite city.

Had a really wonderful time here with my dog! The room was huge, it was actually just a 1 bedroom apartment. It’s in a really nice neighbourhood and easy walking distance to all the shops and waterfront. The restaurant in the main level was great too, really good food, and was also pet friendly so I didn’t have to leave my dog in my room for dinner! Will definitely stay here again, and highly recommend for anyone looking for a pet friendly hotel.
