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.

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.

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.

Definitely not staying here again. Place was filthy and wasn't cleaned. Lucky we had our own pillows in the car, their ones were filthy and were so thin you could barely call them a pillow. Toilet barely worked. The fridge stank and was dirty. Highly recommend paying extra for somewhere else.
