Overview

A Marriott hotel is always an excellent choice when families are looking for luxury and class, and the downtown Austin location is no exception. With over a thousand guest rooms and suites, the hotel provides plenty of options for families to choose from. Whether you’re happy in a standard two-queen guest room or want to live like queens in the presidential suite, you’ll be greeted with a clean, comfortable, stylish place to stay. If you go presidential, rest assured that nobody will go hungry during your vacation, thanks to all the complimentary food — starting with the continental breakfast, then a midday snack, then hors d’oeuvres, then dessert, than a late-night snack — and complimentary beverages throughout the day. (In standard guest rooms, though, bottled water is the only complimentary food/beverage.) For normal meals, head to one of the several onsite restaurants (Italian, Texan, American, or Starbucks), or go off-property to one of the other nearby eateries. When it’s time for parents to relax, the onsite spa is there for you. There’s also an excellent outdoor pool when it’s time for family fun.

We stayed at the JW Marriot for a conference being held in Austin. I found the hotel very clean and well staffed. Any request we had, they were ready and so willing to help fulfill it. I have to say that the staff here were truly exceptional. They were extremely kind and very welcoming. Our housekeeping team was wonderful in helping provide extra towels and toiletries when requested. The rooftop pool was a lovely little oasis. And having a Starbucks in the hotel was very convenient for early morning coffee runs. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here if traveling to the area.

The television did not work and the drain in the tub was broken so my entire shower of water was left in the tub when I finished. To finish it off I never received a receipt on my email to be reimbursed. JW Marriott is supposed to be one of the premier Marriott properties. I was extremely unimpressed. I travel a lot and it's the little things that impress. Things you don't have to think about. Like TV and showers. Thanks.
