Very friendly place. Staff helpful and service is second to none. Set right across the road from the beach and within walking distance of several beachfront restaurants, stores and state parks, this is a wonderful vacation spot. Units are clean and comfortable with a great pool and nice landscaping. Been coming to the Merriweather for many years and never had... More

This resort is adorable!!! Nestled beach-side, just past the Ritz, you will find the Merriweather. Your eyes may be glazed over from all of the other attractions on the beach - but don't pass this one up!! My mom and I were in search of a place to stay for a night while enjoying a music festival, after I jumped... More

My husband and I spent a long weekend at the Merriweather recently. We thoroughly enjoyed having the conveniences of home with the apartment style accommodations. As previous reviews have mentioned, the decor is a bit dated, but otherwise this place is great. It's extremely well maintained and the staff members were very pleasant and helpful. We had a king bed... More

Second stay at the Merriweather. Since we were traveling with another couple, we decided to try the Penthouse. Beautiful kitchen which we used daily for breakfast and lunch so we didn't have to take away from our time in the Florida sun. Typical Florida motel furnishings in remainder of penthouse. Location is excellent. You can walk to everything you need.... More

My friend and I decided to head to Ft. Lauderdale on a girls trip away from our families. After much research to find an affordable yet nice place, we found the Merriweather. We were a little skeptical as it is surrounded by high-end hotels but it turned out to be awesome! We are in our early 30s so we wanted... More

The Merriweather Resort is the perfect beach location in Fort Lauderdale. It is one of a very small number of low-rise accommodations on a strip of mostly very high-rise accommodations. It is nestled between the Ritz Carlton and the Westin. The view from our unit was what you see as The Merriweather's tripadvisor picture. In one minute we could be... More

My husband and I stayed at the Merriweather only for one night on our way to Key West. We had no reservations in Fort Lauderdale and happily, the Merriweather had one room left!
