The staff here is the best I have ever run into in any hotel. We had the room with the king sized bed and the jacuzzi and our friends had two queen beds. Both rooms were immaculate and beautiful. The beds were so comfortable with nice linens. The pastries with breakfast were fair but the coffee more than made up for it! Everyone that we saw was smiling. Here is not a better recommendation than that. I think that anyone who doesn't love this place must be the type of person who finds fault with everything and just likes to complain

The staff were friendly and welcoming when we arrived. One bad interaction when I asked the staff if there was ice in the back for a water bottle since the third floor one had been broken and the bottom floor was now broken, he said, yeah someone broke out last machine. Ok, is there ice in the kitchen? He walked to the back area and came back and said no. I don't think there is a kitchen behind the staff wall. The complimentary breakfast was a nice bonus with plenty of options to start the day. The location is convenient for exploring Oswego, and there's a large parking lot with plenty of spaces, making it easy to come and go. The room was clean and comfy for our stay.

Okay so I think I'm the first person that's going to give this place a five-star review, and…read morehonestly I think they deserve it. I've stayed in some rather nice places in New York City, and I've stayed in some serious dumps before that only charged me about $80 a night for a room, and this place falls somewhere in the middle. I think the room cost me around $140 for a king size bed, and honestly for that money I feel that I had a very nice stay. Okay the bed wasn't fantastic, but everybody that says a bed was uncomfortable at a hotel is usually comparing it to the bed they have at home and there's not a hotel out there that's going to match it perfectly. The bed here was a little firm had it been a mattress I were trying out I would not have purchased it but it served its purpose very well. I fell asleep on it, I woke up and I was refreshed . There's a little refrigerator in the room, there were plastic cups individually wrapped in the bathroom which is to be expected on a little bit lower end hotel however I actually prefer this. I don't know when the last time that glassware was washed that's typically in the nicer places, the fact that I get to unwrap a fresh cup? I'll take it. I mean it holds water and I drink from it, that's all I'm really expecting out of my cup The view was kind of crappy because all I could see was the street out front but that's my fault, I could have paid a couple extra bucks to take a look at the river, however I wasn't there to stare out the window. I was there to fall asleep. Air conditioning worked splendidly, I didn't hear any excessive noise out in the hallway, the Continental breakfast in the morning was about what I expected... Nothing fancy or special about it just a couple of waffle makers, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, muffins danishes pastries and the typical semi weak hotel coffee... So yeah about what I expected. I would also like to add that there was a nice older lady who was working the breakfast area trying to keep it stocked and I'm guessing somebody in the back cooking, and between the two they did pretty well. We had the opportunity to talk with her a little bit after we were done eating as it was 9:00 a.m. and breakfast was over, and we of course threw a few dollars in the little tip jar she had sitting there because honestly she was doing very well and it's been my experience that in general people suck. After a morning of grumpy people waking up coming down and trashing her breakfast area she still had a smile on her face. The lady working the front desk when we checked in and a different girl when we checked out were both pleasant. They both had a smile on their face and we're more than willing to help with anything else we might have needed. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in the area. I mean like I said, everything about this hotel was pretty much what I was expecting for the price that I paid and the name on the front of the building. If you want better accommodations you're going to have to open up your wallet a little bit wider and book something somewhere else... For the money I paid for this everything was spot on.

Looking around, I found many bland chain places and a few terrifying options, but then my boyfriend found Franklin Square. OH MAN!!!

It made a weekend of sadness into a truly lovely, comfortable time. We stayed in the Chinese Lantern Room, which is small, but who cares when you have a Jacuzzi for Twozzi!!? Breakfast was fantastic-fresh fruit salad, great coffee, honey yogurt and a delicious egg and ham soufflee. Tammy came by after we finished eating and offered us chocolate cake, which seriously, sounds over the top, but who doesn't love cake for breakfast?

After looking at their website I called and canceled it 15 minutes later. All my friends in Oswego said do not stay there. It's like staying at the Bates Motel I had booked insurance on both the rooms. They claimed I only had insurance on one room, which is a complete scam so they did not refund the entire amount / when I called the man who answered said he was the owner of the hotel. He looked it up. He said I got my refund that I wasn't charged for it. He asked my credit card number and then told me he has no information in there with that number on it. When I explained everything to him, he told me he was too busy. He can't deal with it and that I got my refund. He said he could not talk to me, he was too busy and that's the end of it. When I tried to argue with him, he said ma'am I am busy I can't do this. You got your refund you weren't charged for it and that's it, boom and he hung up on me. By the way, I did tell him about the 30% and that I didn't get the full refund and he acted like he didn't know what I was talking about the cancellation protection for one account not two the total that I'm missing is $117. These are the biggest scam artists with a very low quality hotel. I called my credit card company. They said they will deal with it, but I wanted to warn everybody. Do not stay here run run run.

Our room was filled with so much charm, it just drew you in, especially a four poster grandma's feather bed with a hand knit topper. The home was filled with thousands of nick-hacks, from their travels and antiquing. One of the most memorable pieces was a ten foot tall mirror they retrieved from on top of a mantle in a mansion. Really, how tall was that ceiling, I wondered. I took in each and every item, none of which had an iota of dust on it. After our first stay there, we had to stay again. One day, no one else was home and my curiosity got the best of me and I had to peek into the other rooms. One room was undone, another had similar decor as ours and the other had an Asian theme. Our four claw bathtub was just delightful to luxuriate in. My fantasy life came alive. The toilet had a pull-chain on top and the light above the sink was sufficient for the room. Ellen, the owner, cooked breakfast and served scones, grilled grapefruit and eggs. It was absolutely delicious. I just wanted to believe an old aunt owned this home and was putting it in her will for me. It was so cozy and lovable. My honey and I wanted to stay forever, alas it was time for reality and we were gone. I would gladly stay again.
