Courtyard by Marriott Niagara Falls
A steakhouse and two pools, one block out
About this hotel
Just one block from Niagara Falls and the heart of the entertainment district, this Courtyard pairs an indoor and outdoor pool with The Keg Steakhouse & Bar on-site, a genuine dinner destination rather than a basic hotel restaurant. Rooms with a flat-screen TV, tea and coffee facilities and a fridge suit a multi-night stay comfortably, and the hot and cold breakfast buffet covers a fuller morning than the lighter, sandwich-style options found at some budget properties nearby. A full-service business centre and fitness centre round out the amenities for travellers extending a family trip with any work obligations along the way, and travellers comparing this property against others nearby should weigh that detail carefully, since it rarely shows up in a quick scan of the room photos alone.
- On-site steakhouse
- Indoor and outdoor pools
- One block from the falls
Our take
This suits families wanting a proper sit-down dinner option on-site alongside genuine pool flexibility, particularly for a multi-night stay just steps from the falls. It's a solid mid-to-upper corridor choice; travellers on the tightest budget will find better value at a simpler motel further down the strip instead, especially once the whole group has settled into a routine.
- ✓Book The Keg Steakhouse ahead for a weekend dinner, since it draws demand from beyond just this hotel's own guests each night.
- ✓Use the hot breakfast buffet on early water-park mornings rather than a lighter grab-and-go option elsewhere on the corridor.
- ✓Alternate between the indoor and outdoor pool depending on the day's weather, since both are included in the room rate here.

Why guests love itHaving The Keg right downstairs turned our last night into a proper celebration dinner after a full week of water-park slides, without needing to book anywhere further afield. The hot breakfast buffet each morning also fuelled us better for early park mornings than the lighter options we'd had at our last stop, which is the kind of thing that only really shows up once you're actually staying there with tired kids.
