For cheap budget accomodation, Ibis Fawkner is perfectly fine. Stayed there a few times. Convenient train access to the city. Rooms are clean, although you may notice a loose tap or other minor maintenance issue. The 24 hour KMart nearby is great to have. The only negative is highway facing rooms can be a little noisy at night from hoons doing burnouts on Sunday mornings, but that's hardly Ibis' fault.

Passable
Good price for last minute stay, we stayed 3 nights.
No housekeeping, bin ovwrflowed the next day no housekeeping
Room dirty with chips in the top bunk. The bin itself when we emptied it looked disgusting. They didn't replace the milk or coffee and you have to line up and ask

There was a fight out the front of the property when we arrived. Staff were lovely and friendly, but the place is so run down. There was electrical tape holding my shower head on and the road noise made it really difficult to sleep. We left early from here and found other accommodation.

Cheap. Shopping centre across the road. Staff at desk great.
Rooms are v small. I was just wanting to sleep before i caught a flight. Water from shower goers all over toilet floor due not having a screen/curtain.
The walls opposite the foot of the bed exhibited stains of god knows what. Im amazed at how many hotels just dont have n eye for a detailed sense of genuine cleanliness.
