Cheapest around by a mile. There's always a small chance of a broken lock, toilet door that won't close etc. Wifi isn't great. But if your on a budget, you can't look past Ibis Fawkner!

I have stayed at this property many times. I would describe it as simple, straight forward, the rooms are pretty small, but you have everything you need. Over the road (busy road) are Coles, Kmart, Woolworths etc. As well as McDonalds, Hungry Jacks etc. I like that this hotel is out of town. It takes around 25 minutes to get into town by car. The train station is around 15 minutes walking from the hotel. Free parking at the hotel. I really like staying at this hotel.
