JW Marriott Hotel Rio de Janeiro

The Marriot Hotel was well located. It was near the beaches and near shopping. The ocean view room was perfect. You will be disappointed if you don't get an ocean view. The restaurant prices were too high. The in-room bar charged me eight American dollars for a 16 oz. bottled water. I still highly recommend this hotel ... just don't buy the food. I initially considered booking with the Sheraton in Rio. I'm glad I didn't. It is situated far from the beaches despite what they advertise.

The hotel was very clean, the staff was very friendly and rooms are very nice. The rooms are clean, bed is comfortable, plenty of space for clothes and to stretch your legs. The view of Copacobana beach can't be beat. The breakfast Buffett is more than adequate with an omlet station, pancakes, meets and fruit. The location is very nice and safe you can walk around the beach and to the bus stop without any difficulty. My only word of caution, the food for dinner is very pricey and not the bst food I town (as the staff might have you believe). We would definitely stay here again.

Like any standar Marriott Hotels this has a spacious lobby and good quality service. Rooms are a bit small, but relativelly new. Location is exclente, overlooking the beah of Copabana. Good breakfast, good shower and enough television channels in english to choose from. Would just avoid using the concierge services that have charged me to confirm a flight. Other than that, I would def. stay there again!

The location was excellent. Directly across from Copacabana beach. We walked the entire stretch of Copacabana and Ipanema from the hotel. Everyone in the hotel was very friendly and helpful. The staff at breakfast were exceedingly friendly. The breakfast buffet was one of the best I have ever had. An abundance of fresh tropical fruit and real 100% tropical juices plus your usual made to order breakfast items. Our rate was considerably lower than rack thanks to our work, so our cost vs value was excellent. The concierge lounge was adequate for a typical JW International. The munchies were better than most. The room was typical JW Marriott quality. Very comforatble bed. The only negatives were that the roof top pool was small and the high cost for internet. I would definitely stay here again.
