Great location for us and very nice people running the Motel. Very helpful. Hotel room door is old and does not seal around the bottom so critters, noise and weather can get in. Also the pool area needs upkeep. But it was good price and conveniently located.

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.
