We had an incredible stay at The Oswego! Our room was clean, the food was excellent and every day, all the staff greeted us with kindness. The hotel has a super cute reading room and in the lobby, there are board games to play on a rainy day. We also enjoyed that our room had a full kitchen, which helped us eat in a few times on our vacation. The Oswego is in a beautiful location and it will make your vacation wonderful!

Our Oswego stay was wonderful. The staff were wonderful, from the front desk clerks who quickly rectified a problem that we had with our room, to the housekeeping staff, to the workers that we met in the hallway. They were all friendly, and made us feel very welcome. The food in the restaurant was great. The room was spotless and comfortable, and quiet on a very busy December weekend. The location is excellent as you can easily walk to most of downtown.. We will definitely return and look forward to our next stay!

Hotel staff were friendly and very helpful. The shower stall in the room was designed for a small child and not larger adults. Far too tiny and uncomfortable. Overall however, it was a very nice place to stay.

Loved our stay at the Oswego! The rooms were very updated and comfortable. The on-site restaurant and common area was super comfortable, with a fire place, lots of greenery and tall floor to ceiling windows bringing in a lot of natural light. The location was perfect for walking anywhere in Victoria. The underground, secure parking felt very ‘secure’.
