    We had a very pleasant stay at Courtyard by Marriott Buffalo Downtown/Canalside. We really liked the location of the hotel, which is convenient for exploring the area, as well as the fact that it offers onsite parking (even if it is not free). The rooms were spacious, modern, and clean, and overall the hotel has a modern feel. The staff was always friendly and helpful, which made the stay even more enjoyable. As small downsides, the shower only had the fixed ceiling-mounted shower head without a movable option, and the WiFi quality was rather poor at times (although this seems to be common in many US hotels).

    First off it was way too expensive for a small 1 bed room, we also had to pay for parking there wasn’t a continental breakfast and the TV didn’t work. Lastly there was someone above us that was pounding on the floor for almost 2hrs. I called the front desk and nothing ever happened. I will not be staying at your hotel ever again.

    The location to Key Bank is excellent. Staff we interacted with were excellent. There was some sort of youth hockey group staying there. Maybe putting all of them on one floor without other guests would have been better. Offering a free continental breakfast, or even a free grab and go would be nice. We’ve stayed at a lot of Marriott properties and they have those included.

    Pool was disgusting with kids jumping in the jacuzzi with floaters. I told the front desk and they gave us free breakfast but the next day the chef didn’t show up so there was no breakfast. The person working at the cafe the night before had a dirty shirt and hair. It was gross.

    Room was clean however there was a show going on at the KeyBank arena literally right down the street, where event goers were parking it the hotel lot. Staff did nothing about these parkers, making it impossible for us to park our car. We paid $18 a night to park and couldn't even get a spot at 5pm. Not happy about this at all.

It took us going back in for them to tell us it was fine to go back to our room with the alarm still going… staff and attitudes didn’t make it worth while.
