For the price, the room was very basic. On the plus side, there were heating pads for the beds and the staff friendly. The bathroom was small with an open window section for ventilation - which made it very cold (we were there in the late winter).

No staff onsite which was fine, the room key was under the door mat. The room was tidy but had quite a few ants. The main downside is that you can hear the neighbouring rooms talking, using the microwave, watching tv etc. so wasn't the best sleep.

Booked a stay during the middle of June for work. Room was decent overall but the lack of some soundproofing did hampen the evening. Will definitely return again.

Quick check in and check out with is great. Okay accommodation if on budget. Location was good. Close to Apollo Bay main street with all the restaurants. Room was spacious and heating was very good and quiet. Room was outdated, could use immediate improvements such as sealing of doors and windows to stop heating from escaping. There were obvious gaps in the front door and also in our bathroom window so we had to keep heater on. Investing in sealing these holes would save the motel in the long run. Also the drinking glasses were dirty as well with finger prints and smudges.

The beds were very comfortable, and everything was extremely clean. The shower was fantastic with great pressure and heaps of hot water. For basic accommodation, it was far better than we were expecting. We would happily stay again.

Falsey advertised, a bit of a wall and sliding door added to a normal motel room doesn't make it a 2 bedroom unit.

Great option for a short stay. Easy parking and convenient access to The Otways, it was just what we needed on our road trip. There are no dining facilities, but Apollo Bay is just 5 mins drive and has plenty of options (check out Little Crumb Bakery for the best breakfast you have had in a long while!). Beds were comfortable and the room was warm, with plenty of hot water for showers. A fridge with freezer section was handy to keep the ice blocks frozen overnight for our chilly bin. We didn't use much else as we were up and out fairly early and back late in the evening. Would highly recommend this as a place to stay if you are visiting The Otways.

This property was easy to find and the check in process was super smooth. This is a very short distance from Apollo Bay and a bit cheaper than properties in AB. It was perfect for our needs.

Girls in office were lovely. Overall our room was clean. Very disappointed in the shower condition. The shower base needs attention and under the shower screen where it meets the base in the corner was rotting and it appeared to be mouldy. Would not return

Very basic accommodation. We loved Marengo, but not so much the Marengo hotel. Needs updating - compared to what we’ve stayed in on our trip on the Great Ocean Road. Extremely thin walls and very noisy.

Stay somewhere else
Where do I begin? Got into the room which stank of takeaway food which it did for quite some time. The pool was dirty with sand in the bottom of it (no it doesn’t happen in a matter of hours - it’s not been cleaned for days). The spa had scum on the surface - only really noticed this once in it and then had itchy skin later on because of it. Pulled the sheets back on the main bed to find quite a bit of skin, dirt and hairs from the previous occupant. Called the Manager who told me that the sheets had been changed each day and sometimes hairs get stuck in cracks! Told him that was not true as the hair and dirt were on top of the sheets under the cover , and this is unacceptable . Told me again the sheets had been changed and for my peace of mind the sheets would be changed again for me. Nothing but excuses. A noisy motel (slamming doors and bathroom utilities) on a noisy highway! Apart from this generally tidy, but better off spending a little bit more for a much better room at a different hotel/motel.
