The check-in clerk was very helpful and was able to get us into our room a bit early--which we appreciated. But one of the elevators was broken (with a large "Out of Service" sign hung on it in the lobby), but it wasn't shut off. So each time we pressed the button to go to our room, the broken elevator would open and wait and delay the working elevator from coming to that floor. In addition, the shower in room 424 had very low water pressure. You had to move around to get wet.

I like that the hotel is on the water-beautiful view. The restaurant downstairs was good. The hotel itself was dated. The 5th floor and my room smelled like sewage-though they did try to neutralize the scent. The parking lot was full-we had to drive around for 30 minutes to look for parking. Very frustrating.

Stayed here while house hunting in Oswego. The location was perfect! Close to everything! Sites and stores were just minutes away by car, and restaurant were just steps away! Beautiful view of the river and west side of the city!

Can't beat the location. Water views, and an indoor water park for kiddos. It's a no frills, budget friendly hotel that is beyond its prime. The older carpets, furniture, elevator, and HVAC system could all use updating. Our room had an indescribable funk to it that could only be attributed to the age of the building.

I booked a room here because of the stellar rating. The room was terrible. The air conditioner was a window unit that was noisy and kept cycling on and off without cooling the room. The bathroom was so small the door’s gonna smack smack you in the knees if you’re on the toilet. The tub looked like the cleaning crew forgot to clean it.
