Here in North America, we generally think "boring but safe" when we think "suburbs". That may be but is not always true in Europe , not just Paris. Much public housing was built outside the historic centers in Paris, Zagreb, Glasgow and other cities. So you need to be very careful which suburbs you look at.

Ibis is a chain with many sub-chains, like Marriott in the US. A lot of their properties are near railroad stations in the city or near the Peripherique -- the bypass or ring road -- in Paris. Some of them are a lot like Holiday Inn Express or Hampton Inns, tho the rooms will be smaller. They are not quaint but offer good value.

If that is your budget for lodging, what is your budget for the day's activities. I am sure that suburbs offer "interesting things" but not "sights/sites" of interest such as the center of paris does.
You may be riding the RER into Paris which will be more expensive each day round trip. Maybe add that amount difference to your desire for $75 and the figure may increase.
