Courtyard By Marriott Niagara Falls

“Great hotel and near everything.”

Last week we stayed in Niagara Falls CA to attend a concert in Lewiston NY across the border as it was the closest place to stay.

Last week we stayed in Niagara Falls CA to attend a concert in Lewiston NY across the border as it was the closest place to stay. Courtyard by Marriott Niagara Falls is where we stayed for the price point. Every time I am in a new city or even if I am not, I seek out the Marriot properties, so I know what I am getting into. This location is situated right in the falls on Victoria Ave and in the middle of everything. Travelling up here on July 11th we were thrust right into the midst of it. The traffic is tough this time of year, especially at night. Niagara Falls has been a tourist trap since at least the 1970s as I have family in Western NY, so it was always the case. We checked into the busy lobby and got an up grade to a Suite. Just so you are aware it costs 25 dollars to park. I am not sure if the lot is run by a different company or not because most Marriott properties you don’t pay to park. The parking lot has enough spaces behind the hotel. It was quiet enough which is usually my biggest concern anywhere I stay. The room was very clean, and it looks as if extra effort to make sure everything was in stock in the microwave/ refrigerator area. The bathroom was very nice with the normal amenities. The TV was working well and no problem with the Marriot WiFi. We didn’t use the pool, exercise area, or use the breakfast services as we were leaving the next day. My only regret is that we couldn’t have spent a little more time in the hotel. I was impressed with staff they were attentive to everything. Just a side note this is a busy area with people all over the streets. Niagara Falls has chanced immensely so give yourselves time to do things. This is a nice facility and consider it if you need a place to stay and are in the area.

“Clean and convenient”

Right in the heart of it. No issues during our quick stay. It did get super busy on the Friday night. Indoor and outdoor pool + a small gym are nice to have. Breakfast on site but buffet only.

“Ok hotel but not as good as I remembered”

I’ve been here before and for the most part it’s the same as before but there’s a few more things I noticed on this trip that I hadn’t before. First, if you’re a Bonvoy Elite status, there’s really not much benefits. Unlike other properties, Parking is still paid, no free water, your choice is 500… more

I’ve been here before and for the most part it’s the same as before but there’s a few more things I noticed on this trip that I hadn’t before. First, if you’re a Bonvoy Elite status, there’s really not much benefits. Unlike other properties, Parking is still paid, no free water, your choice is 500 points or $10 off the breakfast (more on this later) even if you are Platinum. Generally the staff were helpful and the rooms are comfortable and clean, and no issues with noise or the HVAC. No issues there. Rooms have a fridge but not all floors have ice machines. Location is also good. Close to Clifton Hill and not too far if you have to catch a show at OLG Stage. And if you get a south facing room, you can even catch the fireworks from your room. The not so good is the paid breakfast that, on a whole, is less variety and similar in quality to a free breakfast at your typical North American hotel chains. Only difference is that there’s an egg station for omelettes. I somehow recall the breakfast was better previously. There’s no lobby water or coffee. Overall it is ok, but I would skip the breakfast and get it somewhere else.
