It seems to me in NY you either pay $500 per night or you end up in a hostel/half way house - the latter of which the Americana Inn falls into. Ok, it is slightly nicer than a hostel but the Americana still has the 'long term residents' that you find in a YMCA. The fantastic location of the Americana... more

Great location, good price (I paied about 160 US$ daily) and 3 blocks for Time Square, 2 Blocks to Briant Park, 10 steps to 5th Av., 2 blocks to Broadway..... The shared baths are very clean and the rooms are very good, with LCD Tv and ar conditioner. Great experience and a good price. more

This place is soooo overpriced. We stayed at another hotel that was closer to Times Square, bigger, with far more amenities and cheaper. However, on the last night of our trip that hotel was booked and the Americana was the only inn with a room. Yes, it was reasonably clean. But it was also incredibly small and noisy. I could... more

I visited NYC on my own and wanted to stay somewhere cheap but clean and safe.The Americana Inn certainly filled the bill.It is right on 6th Avenue, which can be noisy at night, but makes for a great central location to stay.There are shared bathrooms on each floor,with roughly three rooms per bathroom but there was never any problem finding... more

Got a last-minute room at the Americana for a recent trip to New York. I was concerned about the shared bathrooms due to negative experiences I had with shared facilities in London, but Americana is extremely clean and there was never a wait. The rooms don't have refrigerators, but are also clean, with flat-screen tv's and a sink. Also, the... more

The location of this hotel is AWESOME! It is so close to Times Square, Rockefeller Centre, FIFTH AVENUE for shopping, and really close to the subway to get down Manhattan to Statue of Liberty etc. My room had a window and I definitely recommend buying ear plugs as the traffic is very loud and all night. But the rooms are... more

The hotel is in a great location and central to the library, short walk to Herald Square, and Time Square. We were able to access shops, restaurants, a great park without having to walk far. The staff was friendly and tried their best to assist you with any questions. However, I did request extra pillows for my stay and had... more

This hotel is an ideal location when staying in New York. One block from 5th Ave, one block from Times Square, 5-10 mins walk to Central Park, Empire State Building and 30 seconds from Macy's! Staff were friendly, hotel was clean and the a/c system was excellent considering the extreme heat in NYC! Bathrooms are shared but they are clean,... more

This hotel is definitely a deal. We stayed four nights and had no problem with the hotel. The bed was quite comfortable and there was more than three channels on the tv. It had an AC which is totally a must during summer. Sharing bathrooms wasn't a problem. The one time I needed it and there was someone in it,... more
