This place is in the perfect spot on the beach. It is close to everything and the staff is very courteous and helpful. The only problem with rooms is how dated they are. Walking in my first impression was " the golden girls would have loved this place." The furniture badly needs updating and spot cleaning especially the couch. On... More

When I made my reservation I could only stay 3 of the 5 nights I requested since a large group was previously booked. The last 2 nights I was able to get a good rate at the Westin. I am the type of person who likes to sit outside enjoy the fresh air and sun and relax under the stars... More

We loved the Merriweather because of the location near the sea. Las Olas is very close and we are close to everything. The kids liked the pool and our apartment was very clean but we found cockroaches. We first found a very big about 2 inches and then we found five other ... the next morning, we heard one walking...

Thank you for taking the time to review our resort. We agree, our location is awesome and our rooms are exceptionally clean. Regarding the roaches you encountered, we apologize this was your experience. We do have regular pest control services and unfortunately the palmetto bugs are plentiful in Florida, especially near water like we are. After recalling your stay with... More

Though we stayed at the Merriweather last year just before the spring break rush, occasionally we still recall what a wonderful experience we had. We first read the reviews and then spoke to Mary Jo for specific information and advice. She was great and very helpful. When we finally arrived, we were pleasantly surprised at the location and the cleanliness... More

My family have stayed at the Merriweather on vacation for the last couple of years. We love the location, it's right across the street from the beach and walking distance to restaurants. It's an old place but that didn't bother us because the rooms are pretty clean and maintained. My only complain is the rudeness of the resort manager Mary... More

Recently stayed here and was pleasently surprised. We chose this facility as our 'timeshare' swap. Although it is an older facility, with two full floors and a couple of 'penthouse ' rooms on the third floor, it is directly across the road from the beach in an area where there are no buildings on the beach side of the one-way...
