The hotel

With a central location that gives you easy access for strolls along the Tampa Riverwalk, concerts or sports games at Amalie Arena, or the thrills of Bush Gardens, the JW Marriott will provide you with a luxurious stay in the Sunshine State. With 6 dining outlets, you'll never be short of food and drink options, whether you fancy a grab and go option, or an alfresco lunch with bayfront views. And whilst we're talking of views, you'll get some lovely ones from your room (especially if you opt for a Premium room on the higher floors), and at the 6th floor rooftop pool area - why not hire a cabana for the day to chill out in style?!

Highly recommend this coffee market. I’d like to credit your employee Jason for taking care of me and my wife. His service and attitude are exceptional. I come to here regularly for coffee and Jason, Ben and Elizabeth are wonderful hosts. I will always come back.

Rooms are generally well-appointed and clean, pool area is extremely crowded and does not deserve the term sun deck. That said, JW Marriott double-charged me ($53.75) for parking for the one day that I stayed at the hotel. The phone number that I was told to call sent me to what I would surmise was a call center located inside a chicken coop. I was competing with the chickens and at least one rooster to get my point across to the operator. He said that he would send a notice to the hotel. Nothing happened for 12 days; when I called back again, I was then told that they had sent me an email (untrue) from the comptroller, noting that I had NOT been double-charged. A waste of my time, and frankly insulting to send customers from what should be a luxury brand to such comical call centers, where nothing is resolved. I have since called my credit card to rightfully disputing the duplicate charge, which is what I suggest all Marriott customers do instead of navigating their ridiculous system. Read less
