The room was clean enough. I was disappointed in the pool area. It was not particularly inviting to go in for a swim but not a big deal. It’s a plain and simple motel if you need somewhere to stay for the night. You’re not getting Big 4 or Discovery quality but it was clean.

Fully equiped and convenient. Queen bed was possibly just a double only. Seemed smaller than my queen size bed at home.

Communication should be improved. The receptionist on the desk was excellent, room was good but ideally the room was better for a family and not four adults. There was a problem with the booking and communication would have avoided this.

My partner and I had a lovely stay at Motel Marengo. It was just outside of Apollo Bay so we avoided all the hussle and bussle and the room was spacious, clean and all we needed for a nights stay. Would stay again.
