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

Although not very close to a subway stop, the general location of the Americana Inn can't be beat, just around the corner from the major retailers on 5th Avenue. It's a very basic hotel, more like a rooming house since the bathrooms are mostly shared. However, the single room I was in had a large window, new sink, TV, closet... more

just came back yesterday from the americana and as the previous reviews have said the hotel is in a great spot. Having said that there are too many downsides to the hotel for me personally. Firstly really really noisy, impossible to sleep without earplugs, not just the traffic but the walls of the rooms of the hotel are so thin... more
