Embassy Inn

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.
