    “Oswego Hotel is well appointed with an excellent location. Easily walkable to many central Victoria areas. We had a 1 bedroom King suite - very well appointed, comfortable bed. Lots of room. Front desk staff were excellent. Lobby restaurant is good - also excellent service. Parking is pricey, on top of rooms, but par for the area. Very surprised that pets were allowed.”

  • An aboslute pleasure - everything about this place is comfortable and luxurious.
