Great hotel - lovely lobby and the rooms where fantastic. Lovely pools and grounds around the place. Only gripes are... Self parking $15, cost of a tube to go into the lazy river $5, and also the restuarants are pricey! They offer a buffet but its not great - best buffet around is in the Gaylord Palms Hotel Villa de... more

The pool was freezing and unkempt, there was a charge of over $21 per day for valet or about $16 per day for self parking and an internet charge of about $16 per day whether you used your computer in your hotel room or in the lobby. It's beautiful with good food, but I'd never recommend it given all the... more

I've stayed at this hotel a couple of times for business (conferences). The service is very good. The first night I arrived I called down to get a refrigerator and they brought one right up. Unfortunately it didn't work (the delivery guy didn't hang around to find out whether it worked) but when I called up again they brought another... more

I frequently visit Orlando for a night or two and recently tried out the JW Marriott based upon good reviews I saw here and from several friends. Sure enough the Hotel was very nice. The room and property overall were very clean, well kept, and polished. As well they have a very nice "lazy river" style pool. The valet was... more

I have stayed at this hotel several times before and it is not being well-maintained. Our room looked dated, was not very clean, and the towels were not soft; all of these things used to be top-notch! Some of the staff acted as if we were a burden to them. I used to feel I got my money's worth as... more

Just had a second great stay at JW Marriot grande lakes. They are busy building a marriott time share/vacation property adjacent to teh hotel, but dont sweat it, construction noise and dust wont bother you. Magnificent multi sensory experience as you enter the marble lobby with running fountain, candles and a distinctive signature scent (Front desk staff calls it vermillion... more

Great location to go to any of the amusement parks. Also, a great destination in itself. My children are 9 and 5 and they both enjoyed the lazy river and hotel activities as an alternative to the amusement parks. Request a room with fireworks view to see a nightly show while in your PJs instead of a crowded theme park!... more

We recently stayed @ the JW Marriott Orlando. After numerous trips to Disney we decided to stay onsite in Disney for the 1st week and end our vacation with a few days at a more "upscale" atmosphere. We expected a quiet relaxing stay and explained to the children that this was probably not a lot for them to do at... more

Husband had business mtgs, and the family all tagged along. It was GORGEOUS!!! The pools (plural) and lazy river were amazing!! We had thought about heading to Universal or Sea World (had just visited Disneyland in CA so didn't want to go there).......but the hotel kept my kids occupied and happy. They never wanted to leave the water areas. Saved... more
