Pros:

The room is clean and spacious. The location is next to the highway.

Cons:

The staff did not offer me breakfast at the first time. After I told her I booked the hotel including breakfast, she gave me 15-dollar vouchers for lobby coffee shop. If I can re-do this again, I wouldn't pay for hotel breakfast.
This is my first time staying in this area. As an international tourist, I was surprised to learn that nothing was really going on nearby. so if i can re-do this trip, I may book a hotel near American Falls...

Excellent location, modern and spacious rooms, and very friendly staff made this a very enjoyable stay overall.
Pros:

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.

Cons:

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).

Works for a few days.
Pros:

Honestly, I didn't do my homework on Marriott hotels in the downtown Buffalo area. However, after checking in, I noticed a large Marriott nearby. Courtyard is my least favorite hotel in the group, but since my colleagues chose it, I made the reservation. Here is why I rated it a 3:

1. No option to pick points or get a breakfast food & beverage credit. The points option was selected for my stay. Honestly, 1000 points is completely useless. I would have preferred a coffee.
2. Couldn't connect to the Wi-Fi in the room and had to go downstairs to the lobby. Not a big deal since I was only staying two nights.
3. The room was super clean and comfy, but the bed had seen a lot of stays.

That said, the staff was very nice. Shout out to Joanne, Assistant GM, for the nice e-mail response to my concerns.

By the way, the restaurant at the Marriott across the street is famous. Their seafood pasta was incredible. Next time, I would stay at the Marriott.

Jeff, the bartender was an absolute gem. He made one of the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had. His service was superb.
