Staying at the Oswego hotel it is very quite.All stuff are warm and kind .The suite is large and very comfortable, site is convenient for travel.Parking at the hotel is free.Overall, I feel very good.The only thing was that there was a sour smell in the bedroom and bathroom on the first night.I couldn’t sleep.I had to slide the balcony door a little to sleep. There was no smell next night because fresh air came from balcony.

Nice area and building, unit fairly nice but was getting kinda run down in areas such as oven and dishwasher and floorboards. The people working there were nice, only issue was them walking into unit when we weren’t able to answer the door even though we’d requested to not receive housekeeping services during our stay. Otherwise it was nice and I would for sure go back.

Nice location for walking to downtown or the ocean and parks. Very enjoyable stay. The bistro had a nice enough menu but there is a chilly feel to it. Lightning? The pillows were too hard and big. But I hear they are getting new softer ones. We will be back!
