Utterly outstanding boutique, low key hotel 1 block off the Inner Harbor. Polite, friendly staff, modern rooms all with a view in one direction or the other of the harbor that raps around. We opted for the 2 bedroom for us and our teen sons. I am so impressed that I shall recommend the Oswego to my friends and associates by mouth. We shall visit again for another getaway in summer. Lovely.

The Oswego Hotel set the bar high! We stayed at a few hotels during our winter vacation and we were so impressed with The Oswego. There was no comparison in our opinion. The Oswego staff were friendly and accommodating and the rooms were spacious and comfortable. We looked for these qualities in other hotels during our vacation but could not find one that replicated the experience we had at The Oswego!
