This was my second time staying at Maren. My favorite part of the hotel is being right across the street from the beach. It’s close to all the local restaurants and Elbo room which I haven’t visited myself but every time we pass by it’s always packed. Also Sean is amazing, he makes sure you are well prepared for your stay and has loads of recommendations. Would recommend.

Small disclaimer. There is construction nearby but honestly not that much of a bother.

We had a marina room view with a balcony. Balcony is very narrow but was fine for morning coffee. We did note a humming noise whenever we were out on the balcony. Not sure if it was from the HVAC system or nearby construction but it was a bit annoying. Room was a good size and beds were comfortable and the room was clean although the carpet could use a refresh. That is the good. The staff was mediocre at best and the onsite restaurant, Riviera was absolutely terrible. Waited almost two hours for breakfast and when it arrived it was not good food. We were comped most of the expense of the meal but did not go back to the restaurant the rest of the visit. The daily resort fee's do not align with the \"free\" amenities. The free drink coupons can only be used for a handful of beverages, the bicycles available are all in need of repair and you have to pay for the airport shuttle they offer.
Pool area is nice, rooms are nice and location and proximity to beach are great. Staff and restaurant need massive improvements.

This is a great property. The location is within walking distance of the beach, and plenty of restaurants, bars, and shops. There are areas great for families, and also party spots. The hotel itself is clean and beautiful. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful! The pool area which sits on the 5th floor is really nice with amazing views of the coastline.

I have been to Ft Lauderdale may times and this stay at the Maren was the WORST I have had in Ft, Lauderdale. I paid 600 dollars a night for a room and stayed for 4 nights with my wife and daughter and it was a disaster. There was construction right next to the hotel - they are constructing a new hotel- and in front as well. We had trouble sleeping all 4 nights. The view I thought I was paying for was a beach view. The view we had was of a crane and construction and our beach access was blocked as well. Rooms are advertised as SOUNDPROOF, but from 630 am until 6 pm we heard cranes and trucks and construction. It started at 630 every morning! Even heard the room Nextdoor, their TV and people talking. The room is 0% soundproof- completely false advertising. I paid $600 a night and our view and beach access was 100% different from pictures on the website. I asked the front desk to change us to a different room so we could sleep, and they said the hotel was sold out and there was nothing we could do. What a miserable stay. If I had know know about the construction and our closed beach access and no soundproof rooms, I never would have taken my daughter there to celebrate her 18th birthday. So disappointing. I paid 2400 dollars for 4 nights and we barely slept. So bad.

Grossly dirty. Lobby is outdated and looks low end. All lobby seats are dirty and stained, cannot sit. Uncomfortable to relax anywhere. Food area looks depressing and floors in dining lounge by pool are stained and sticky and gross. Pool looks low end. Rooms are big but chairs and furniture old and falling apart. Staff friendliness and helpfulness widely varies. Bellhop overly chatty and entered our rooms during check in and overstayed - inappropriate and unsafe. Coffee and drink and food options on site meager and unimpressive. Location fine and views fine but only a 2 star experience, could not relax since everywhere you look the floors and seats are dirty

Hotel was very disappointing. Restaurant ran out of yogurt at breakfast time. No milk available in restaurant for afternoon coffee. First 2 days room still had not been cleaned by 5.30 pm, housekeeping then wanted to clean as we were getting ready to head out for dinner.
Air conditioning in room was very noisy.
Also hotel beach access was closed because of music concert infrastructure taking hotel beach space. Set up for concert restricted access to hotel at times.

Outside of Anika the staff was terrible, including management of the property. Anika was kind, helpful, and attentive. The other staff members were indifferent and you could feel that energy every time you walked by the front desk. I had an issue with our stay and felt that the entire way it was handled was dismissive. Loved the property, but not much beyond that. Hilton has a gem here, but not much inside to make it shine as it should.

Spacious, clean room with oceanview balcony. Friendly, helpful staff and great housekeeping service. Beautiful ocean view from pool balcony but the pool deck feels cramped and a bit dated. Limited poolside service so cups and trash from other guests pile up. Easy access to the beach. Somewhat noisy location, with loud traffic on A1A and construction two properties away. But overall a good experience.

We had a handicapped room with a balcony and great view of the beach. The room was very large. The shower was outdated, and a lot of water got on the bathroom floor the way it was set up. We had to use a lot of towels to dry it up, then we didn't get housekeeping service the next day even though we were out of our room most of the day. I found a housekeeping staff member and asked about it, but she didn't speak English. I was able to get her to give me a few more towels. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was great other than their being a fairly busy street between the hotel and the beach.

Nice hotel but needs deep cleaning in bathrooms. The shower had mould an scum build up and the toilet had stains around the seat connection.
All the rooms on 11th floor had connecting door and were poorly sound proofed. We could hear every word of next door. Of course they couldn't move us because they were \"full\". Which is weird because I could go online and book a room.
Also experience a late check in, no real apology or offer to make it up; just excuses...
Also, kids took a look at the pool and said no thanks - dirty The beach entrance had beat up stained deck furniture and missing cushions along with broken and parts missing fire tables.

This hotel would not park my truck and had no other parking options for me and my family. I had to park 2 blocks away for $35 a day at a restaurant but I could not take my car anywhere or I would have to pay an additional $35 to park again. Also, you had to make sure to pay another $35 before 11am the next day or it would be towed. Very poor for such an expensive hotel. No effort was made to compensate. I would not stay here again.

The balcony rooms have the best view! The rug in our room was v stained and old, other than that great service and clean room overall.
The beach chairs are kind of outdated and they charge $30 for the umbrella. Restaurant is very expensive for the quality of food. It was not our favorite. Black coffee and tea at the bar, extremely expensive $5. There’s a Starbucks next door, better to just buy there.
Pool is great, not very crowded and great for the kiddo

The ocean view from pool was great. The pool itself was wonderful. It is salt water not chlorine pleasant temp. Liked the pool balcony, The aqua lounge and sitting area could use a little help. Looked like a cafeteria and the windows were dirty. The employee looked bored. Cabana and lounge chairs good.
No one picked up water bottles and trash on the patio.
Workout room was good. Decent equipment, and large variety of weights and machines. Much of the front desk staff seemed disinterested/ low energy. Didn’t have knowledge of immediate area and where to go, what to do, no suggestions. One of the waitstaff recommended an Argentinian bakery a block down the street that was incredible. I like underground local authentic finds. The hoyel was a new build and it seemed unfinished, quality didn’t seem there: unpainted key card entry, the bottom of the doors warped, the walls seems to look cheap and unfinished.. the trim on the walls. A few modern decor pieces can’t cover up quality installation.
The beds were great, the view good, the restaurant food very good but not a great vibe…felt like a deity in or la Quinta. The entrance had some gas fireplace rocks that were never lit the 3 rainy days we were there. A few restaurant furnaces would be great .

The first night of our stay an air conditioning unit leaked water through the ceiling. The hotel staff moved us to a beach front room as a gesture to makeup for the water leak.

However, not all staff were quite so friendly and accommodating. Given this is a Curio collection hotel- i expected higher quality.

The rooms are nice and spacious. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Beach view is breathing if you book „beachfront“ and superior gives you a big balcony. Bike rental per day two hours free of charge.

We had an amazing stay at Hotel Maren. We had a stunning ocean view from room which had super tall ceilings and was extremely clean. Great air conditioning. No bugs. Awesome bathroom with luxurious waterfall shower head with excellent pressure, though also not too aggressive to irritate your mild sunburn lol. Excellent beach chairs and plenty of beach towels provided. Pool deck was also an sweet spot to hang and get some sun. Complimentary drink tickets were a bonus each day. We also used the bikes to ride into town twice across our stay which was a lot of fun (though the bikes had minimal if no tread and definitely need to be exchanged by the bike company). Overall, incredible stay and highly recommend!!

Everything was good besides no free parking and the vallet parking was $55 a night higher then anywhere else as well ass charging you $46 fee a day for resort fee. Very dissapointed in both of those. On top of the cost it was to stay there to have that fee and no free parking. Just for a week stay cost me additionally about $700

Room overlooking the bay (not the ocean) was actually nice - the view onto all the yachts, the swimming hall of fame pools, and the city of Ft. Lauderdale was nice and interesting, especially in the evening. The pool and the beach had plenty of seating. The front desk staff was great. The gym was clean and well-appointed. The location was good - near plenty of restaurants and a short Lyft to Las Olas Blvd. Downsides: The bartenders at the pool and in the lobby were unengaged and did not seem to enjoy their job; the restaurant was just OK as was its waitstaff.. A solid upper-middle choice, but not worth the >$500 night we paid.

The room is starting to show its age. I’ve stayed here several times in the past, but unfortunately I no longer feel it offers good value for the price.

I was also disappointed to see additional charges for Wi-Fi, especially on top of a mandatory “resort fee.” It feels like unnecessary nickel-and-diming. In my opinion, these costs should simply be included in the room rate rather than adding an extra $25–$35 per guest per night.

That said, if you do choose to stay here, I highly recommend connecting with Sean on staff. He is genuinely one of the nicest and most attentive staff members I’ve encountered. Whether you need assistance within the hotel or recommendations and arrangements for a restaurant, he goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable.

The Maren was a perfect stay for our long weekend, the rooms were fabulous, the beach was just a few steps away, with many shops and restaurants only a short walk (0.2 mi) down the street. The pool area was clean and well maintained, with a bar and food service right there. The room cost was about half that of the Ritz a couple of blocks away, but I doubt if it was twice as nice as the Maren.
Our room was on the marina side, which honestly was more interesting than looking out over the ocean!

Great hotel with nice amenities! Some of the staff could have been more friendly and they charge 18% gratuity to all restaurant checks, we were a party of 3. I don’t mind paying that or more for a tip but it was sneaky… like they were hoping for a dbl tip. Our room was oceanfront which could have been more beautiful but we were on the 6th floor with a big view of the pools covered deck. Other that that great stay!

Couple items they could improve that were probably isolated this time. This was our second time here. Notified desk that the thermostat fell off wall right away, never fixed during the stay. Food visible on furniture that I cleaned up when we arrived. One thing they need to keep an eye on before it gets out of control. Several times there were obviously non guests using the couches on the outdoor lobby entrance way. One was actually the outlet to charge his ankle monitor.

Would recommend hotel.

I wanted to like this hotel, but left disappointed.

1. Arrived in our room, they gave us the wrong room. Spoke to the manager, who owned their error, but had no other rooms for the night. At best he comped our resort fees, but husband had to sleep on chaise lounge. Next morning, manager stated he had a room, but it needed to be cleaned. We gathered our things by 10:30a so they could turnover our room. At 2pm, we were needing to get our things to get ready for the night, but the room was not ready. They expedited the room to be cleaned. I asked if we were being treated like a new check in at 4pm, he said no, but it felt like it. We got into our room at 3:15. Comping resort fees is not a big deal. As a Hilton member, I felt like he could have done a better job.
2. We were given 5 drink tix. We went to the bar, they were out of house white. I don't drink red & am gluten free (beer is out) and their cooler drink was tequila based, which I can have. Bartender would not accomdate another white.
3. Breakfast was overpriced and underwhelming. Server was kind, but was slow. Definitely eat elsewhere
4. There is no outdoor lounge to sit outside. The outdoor patio furniture smelled like urine & body odor from homeless people sleeping on it.
5. The carpet in both rooms were worn & gross. TV connection didn't work in second room, we just gave up by that time.

Again, really wanted to like this place, but it was disappointing.
