What We Saw at Courtyard Marriott Buffalo Airport
The Courtyard by Marriott Buffalo Airport is located at 4243 Genesee Street in Cheektowaga, directly across from the terminal at Buffalo Niagara International Airport. For anyone with an early morning departure or a late-night arrival, this hotel eliminates the stress of distance. You are essentially at the airport before you go to sleep.
When we visited, the property was in strong shape. The Bistro is a solid on-site restaurant with breakfast, drinks, and dinner options. The indoor pool and hot tub were clean and well-maintained. The outdoor fire pit patio is a nice touch for evening gatherings, and the EV charging stations in the parking lot are a practical addition that many travellers now appreciate.
This hotel attracts a mix of business travellers, early-morning flyers, and families in transit. We regularly pick up and drop off passengers here. The front desk staff are used to irregular hours and handle check-ins at any time without issue.
Who This Hotel Works Best For
- Passengers with a very early departure from BUF and no desire to commute
- Late arrivals who do not want to drive to another part of Buffalo
- Business travellers needing reliable Wi-Fi and meeting space
- Families making a one-night stop before a Niagara Falls day trip
- Travellers who plan to use our taxi service the following morning for Canada
If you are staying here and planning a trip to Niagara Falls the next day, we can arrange a morning pickup directly from the hotel entrance. Many guests use this exact combination: Courtyard Marriott for the night, then a morning taxi with us across the border to the Canadian falls.

Book This TransferWhere the Hotel Shuttle Can and Cannot Take You
The Courtyard by Marriott Buffalo Airport runs a complimentary shuttle, and it is genuinely useful, but it only covers the run between the hotel and the Buffalo Niagara International Airport terminal. It does not serve Niagara Falls, it does not run to downtown Buffalo, and it cannot cross the border into Canada. For anything past the terminal, you need a booked ride.
Free hotel shuttle covers
- Hotel to the BUF terminal
- BUF terminal back to the hotel
- Set pickup loop, shared with other guests
Our flat-rate taxi covers
- Niagara Falls, Canada, flat $95
- Niagara Falls, NY, flat $85
- Toronto and the GTA, flat $330
- Downtown Buffalo, flat $45
- Private vehicle, your group only, any hour
Pickup is at the hotel entrance and the fare is fixed before you get in, so a border queue does not change what you pay. Book online, or call or WhatsApp (716) 957-8900. We run 24/7, which matters for the early-morning departures and late-night arrivals the shuttle schedule does not cover well.
