Best JW Marriott!! The staff is incredible!

We stayed 3 nights with our family in a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom room. It was FABULOUS! This is one of the best Marriott’s we have stayed at in a long time. The service and the staff is what makes this hotel great. Whoever the manager is, needs to be extremely proud of how this hotel is run. 10/10 for the staff.

We stayed 3 nights with our family in a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom room. It was FABULOUS! This is one of the best Marriott’s we have stayed at in a long time. The service and the staff is what makes this hotel great. Whoever the manager is, needs to be extremely proud of how this hotel is run. 10/10 for the staff.
The valet guys are friendly and prompt with bringing the cars around. The front desk staff will remember you by name and greet you each time they see you.
The biggest thing that was impressive was housekeeping. We actually received a call on our cell phone one of the days asking us if we are happy with our service and if they could do anything extra for us. Housekeeping was awesome each day for daily services as well as turndown service.
The restaurant on the main level was AWESOME for breakfast! Shout out to James!! He’s the best server and so friendly! Also, big shout out to Terrell who makes the omelets! He literally made the best omelets everyday. He was so sweet and nice to talk to every morning. All the food was fresh, hot and displayed beautifully. Also, great coffee!!
Speaking of coffee… a big thank you to Gabriel at the little coffee shop/pastry area of the hotel. He made the best coffee drinks and was super friendly.
The outdoor area of the hotel is beautiful, but the beach area is small and our family didn’t go in the water (there was a health advisory for bacteria when we were there). I would say this part was the only negative about the hotel. It’s situated near a bridge and the water isn’t as clear as some other areas of Clearwater Beach. If you’re looking for the beach, I would recommend going a few blocks down to the center of Clearwater beach and spending the day there.
The rooftop pool is where we spent our afternoons. The food there is just ok and it’s $$$. The service is fantastic, but if you’re there on a weekends, plan to get chairs early, because it gets crowded. It was full when we were there, but not to the point where it was uncomfortable. All the guests were friendly, so it made it enjoyable. They had a DJ on Saturday afternoon and that was fun. If you’re looking for super quiet, then this is not for you.
Our room was really spacious and nice and we had a huge balcony and a water view. The bathrooms were large and the beds were comfortable. The showers are HOT…so be aware! The pull out couch was a little too firm, but it was ok for our youngest son.
We were on the 8th floor, so I would caution anyone with young kids to avoid that floor. The ballrooms are on that floor and there was a wedding going on. The music from the DJ was so loud, our room was shaking! We go to bed late, so it didn’t bother us so much, but if you have little ones who go to bed early, I would avoid those rooms. The music stopped at about 11:05 pm.
Other than that, the stay was awesome and we would return. The staff was the best and made our time enjoyable. I highly recommend checking it out!
