The location of the Oswego can’t be beat and the staff were friendly and helpful. The room was very clean, which is important. We love the idea that we could take our dogs next time. The restaurant is well-priced and the food was excellent. As for things they could improve on: some of the furnishings and cabinets in our room were a bit worn and starting to show their age. This was a bit of a surprise after seeing the room interior images on Expedia. We also wish that complementary parking for one car was included as it is a small hotel with a good sized parkade that always seemed half full at best. Overall, a good experience and we would definitely consider coming back.

Great Location & Price!

We stayed here over a busy Memorial Weekend. We booked a hotel last minute and Oswego was a great location and about $200 lower than other nearby hotels! The rooms are spacious and the lobby and restaurant are nicely designed. The service in the restaurant could have been faster, but the check-in attendant was wonderful and allowed us to access the garage to safely store our bikes overnight. Perfect for the weekend.
