Cheap Hotel
Posted Jul 13, 2017
Pros: It was convenient and unpretentious.
The Americana is a very inexpensive, no frills hotel experience. I wish I had done more research before booking it. I was not aware there still were hotels without private bathrooms or a desk even. Boy was I wrong.
However, I do not fault the staff or the owners. I do fault Expeience.com for not excluding this hotel from the set they offered me for consideration. Experience knows of dozens of hotels I have stayed at. The software should have prevented me from choosing something so different from my norm.

Great location walking distance to major sites
Posted Jul 2, 2017Even though it was shared bathrooms. There are several bathrooms through out the floor. Conviently there is a sink to wash your hands and face in individual rooms.
Location is the beauty of thd place. Hotel is near good resraurants, Times Square and Broadway.

Convenient hotel in the centre of Manhattan.
Posted Jun 8, 2017
Pros: Its central location.
Cons: Wi-Fi could be offered for free as part of the room rate.
Location: Close to all the attaractions of central New York.
I selected this hotel because it was the cheapest one I could find in the centre of Manhattan that could offer a single room as opposed to a bed in a shared dormitory. The facilities were basic but quite clean and comfortable. There was no en-suite, but the restroom was just across the passage. The room had air conditioning as well. Being in the centre of Manhattan, there was plenty of background noise, especially the honking of horns which seems to be a feature of New York. Wi-Fi is available, but only if you pay $5.95 a night for it - a better option is to go into one of the many Starbucks, buy a coffee and use their Wi-Fi for free.

Room was very old and basic and needed updated , and it was not very clearly stated on the web site that it had a shared bathroom which in this day is unusual

Great Value, Friendly Staff
Posted May 12, 2017 on HotelsGreat location and very affordable. Our room was small but expected. The beds were comfortable, the room was clean and bright. The washroom was right outside the room and was very clean. The front desk was very helpful and courteous. We were able to check in early which was a huge bonus! The downside was the noise. We could hear traffic all night- honking, sirens etc. but the location was excellent. Would definitely stay there again.

Solo is primo at this hotel. Best price!
Posted May 11, 2017 on HotelsThe room was small, bare necessities. I didn't expect no bathroom in the room. Shared hallway bath/toilet only. There was a sink, towels, tv, a/c in the room. However, it was nice, Very clean, quite . I felt safe. And it was great for an over night. The price cannot be beat! AND bonus, you at prime location for Times Sq. and cheap rate. All you can do here is sleep. Good for solo, or couple. Not good for family with young children.

Just a step above a hostel
Posted May 8, 2017
Pros: If you don;t mind the shared bathroom and paying extra for wifi, go for it. The price is low for the location.
Cons: It would be helpful if they mentioned the shared bathroom and wifi charge when I checked in.
I wish I'd read the reviews before booking this hotel. I booked it because I needed an inexpensive place to stay in midtown until my early morning meeting. Which it was.
I arrived to find a small room that had a bed, a tv on the wall, and a sink. That's it. And a window that was broken and stuck open, which I had to fix. The bathroom was outside of the room, and was shared with everyone else on the floor, and it was not kept up with. Oh yeah, and wifi is an extra charge. Seriously??
Don't waste your time. Pay a little bit more and you get a real hotel room.
