Embassy Inn
Normally a very nice hotel but currently under renovation. Expedia did not show this when we booked which made for an uncomfortable stay. The hotel manager gave us good consideration and arranged for a refund. Great location for walking and sightseeing.

The Oswego Hotel
We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite. It included kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave & dishwasher) living room, 2 bathrooms (1 en-suite) and small dining area. Clean, cozy, room for all of us (3 adults) had all the kitchen things we needed and a view of the harbour. Would definitely book again.
