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?!

I was at this property working a convention in March 2024. Since I was working, I had asked if it would be possible to get a room with a bathtub as I like to soak my feet after being on them all day.

I was at this property working a convention in March 2024. Since I was working, I had asked if it would be possible to get a room with a bathtub as I like to soak my feet after being on them all day. I was told that in order to get a room with a bathtub, I would have to upgrade, which I was unable to do since I was traveling for work. However, I find this policy a bit strange. Would they really charge a family on vacation MORE just so that they could bathe their children in a tub? I was rather unhappy with the shower that was part of my room for two reasons – the first is that the tile flooring was VERY slippery and the second is that the handheld shower head was not one you could actually remove from its holder. Little water came out of it anyway (ever after trying to adjust the water directional) so why even have it there? But the main showerhead worked fine. The water pressure was good and the hot water plentiful so that was a plus. They offer shampoo, conditioner and body wash. I found the bed and pillows to be uncomfortable though that can be hit or miss with hotels but it makes it rough when exhausted and needing a good night's sleep. The bathroom had a makeup mirror, which is not usual but definitely good to have but it was very low on the wall making it a little difficult to use. One positive was the the staff I interacted with were all very pleasant. However, overall, I would not say that this property was any better than average and definitely not a good value. Read less
