I stayed here 3 years ago and wrote a review then. When returning, I chose the same place because I liked it last time and you can't beat the price. This time I had a car and they have free parking which is nice and rare in Miami. Now they have Wi-Fi in the rooms which is nice. The one thing that is worse, not their fault, is a big new condo was built on the back side and they have million mega-watt spot lights on all night. The vertical blinds in my room would not shut enough to keep any light out and the room was very bright all night long. That made it hard to sleep for me. The cafe is nice for a reasonable breakfast, not included in the room price but a 10% discount. This place is a 3 minute walk to the awesome beach.

When I travel, I look for convenience and economy. The Lombardy had both of those. Located a block from the beach, it was an ideal location. The cost of $36/person per night was perfect for my friend and I to have an economical first trip to Miami Beach. There are no frills here, but our room was clean and the staff was terrific. Some peeling paint on the walls and ceiling of our room which could easily be addressed. My 2 biggest disappointments were no elevator and no microwave in our room. The street traffic was also a bit noisy as our room was in the front of the hotel.

We were happy with our hotel room. We paid 55 dollar for a double room, 65 dollar on friday and saturday. We are low budget travellers and Lombardy Inn was good value for this price (discount for longer stay would have been nice, we stayed 6 nights). 
Although a bit noisy, we were happy with the airco. There was a great, warm and strong shower, a bath and television with movies. The little kitchen with refrigerator (no microwave) helped us to save some money on food.
The hallway and stairs of the hotel could have been cleaner and less smelly, but the staff is friendly. They also offer tours.
The location (North Beach) is ok, there are busses close and the beach is just one block away. More quiet than South Beach, what we liked. But no bars at the beach.  Supermarket and some restaurants are 2 blocks away. From the airport it takes 1,5 hours to go to the hotel by bus (2 dollar) or 30 min by taxi (35 dollar). The hotel was quiet at night, we slept good.
There is wifi, but breakfast is not included.

During our first stay the room/bathroom wasn't very clean. The second time much better. Excellent location for beach and public transport. Nice kitchenette, unfortunately not enough plates etc.Very nice and helpful owners.
