Our initial impression of the Ameritania was not as good as we had expected. I had cancelled a stay at the Doubletree Times Square because of poor reviews. We chose the Ameritania for the predominance of reviews stating the rooms were a decent size. Which for New York City is a bonus.
However, when we arrived we were given room 1120. Now, all the rooms numbered 20 on all floors are to the left of the elevators as you face them, and are absolutely tiny. It felt more like a cell than a hotel room.
The room was tidy, the bathroom recently refurbished, but the size was so small we struggled with 2 people in there. The bed was barely wider than a single. I am 6'4 inches tall, and my partner is 5'10. We struggled terribly. We advised the front desk, but the hotel was full. But we were told we could change room, for a charge, the following day.
Being tired from the journey we made the best of it.
Thankfully, the management must have realised the situation was horrendous, and called us later that evening to inform us they would move us the following day to a room with 2 beds.
After exploring New York a bit, we arrived back to find out luggage had been moved to room 1116, an end of corridor room, with two gorgeous comfy beds, a really nice bathroom. Tons of space, light and airy. We love dit. The hotel did not charge us any extra for the room. It made such a difference.
There are 3 elevators, all worked promptly and quickly. Coffee was available free every morning from am, with snacks available for free every afternoon. Ice cold water is available at all times in the reception area. The desk staff were kind and very helpful as were all the doormen.
All in all, after a bumpy start, we thoroughly enjoyed out stay at the Ameritania and would certainly stay there again. It is so close to Broadway and its theatres and only two blocks from Central Park.

If you are looking to pay a reasonable price for a good hotel which has a great location , first-class customer service then this is the hotel for you!
Right from the minute, we entered the premises doorman GEOFF was on hand to assist and provide good tips and this continued throughout our stay. I have to mention that all of the door staff and reception staff were first-rate but it was Geoff who we mainly dealt with.
We had a slight noise and view issue with our King Delux room but manager CHRIS was on the case and moved us into a lovely room the following day and even though this caused us minimal inconvenience we were compensated.
Tea and coffee in reception every morning and again at 4 pm with a choice of small cakes.
Geoff booked our ride back to the airport at $65 which was well worth it after the shared bus 90-minute ride coming in.
If we were to return to NY I would definitely be checking out the price of The Ameritania before looking elsewhere.. Thanks again, Geoff and Chris.

Clean room, friendly staff, comfortable enough bed. If you catch it at a good price, it’s a very good value. Great location for tourists, close to Crntral Park and Times Square. Get a king size bed for a better sized room. If you’re not from a big city, not a suburb of the city, stay above the ninth floor. It will be quieter and the bright signs will be less intrusive. If you want the whole touristy stay, stay fifth floor or lower. If you’re a tourist and you have leftover money on your subway card, leave it in addition to your tip for housekeeping. They use the subway to get to work, they don’t live “in the neighborhood” walking distance generally.

Clean room, fresh clean sheets, comfy bed., windows that can be opened ! No street noise, we were on the 7th floor facing Broadway. We were upgraded without request which was very nice. Room service is provided by an off site catering and arrived hot and was reasonably priced for NYC. Their is complimentary coffee available in the morning. A small bar and lounge area with a warm fire place for conversation. We were in town for the night , and out stay was perfect.

The Ameritania was in a great location with easy access to the subway and a quick walk to Central Park and Times Square. The room was small but well decorated and very clean. It has clearly been updated in recent years with beautiful tile in the bathroom and updated light fixtures and furniture. The person at the front desk during check-in was personable and helpful and set a positive tone for our stay from the start. Considering it was the most reasonably priced hotel in the location we wanted, the hotel exceeded our expectations.

Stopped here for 4 nights and had a great time. The hotel was clean and tidy and the staff were very helpful and friendly. David on reception was so helpful when we first arrived as there was a mix up with our booking but he soon sorted it and even gave us an upgrade. The room was spacious and clean. Loved the shower, roomy and clean. Just not enough plug sockets for 2 ladies so a good job I took my 6 gang extension lead lol. The snacks that are served between 4 and 6 were a great treat, after a hard day walking and seeing the sights we headed back to the hotel to recover ready for the night time touring. No kettle in the room but asked reception and they sorted one out for me. The concierge are very helpful too and the barman Javier was friendly and a pleasure to have a chat with. The hotel is a great location close to Times Square and Central Park all within a 10 minute walk,

We stayed her for a week in January 2020. The desk staff were helpful on arrival and gave us lots of information including a list of local recommended restaurants. We were told there are snacks in the foyer during happy hour, 4-6pm every day. Unfortunately we didn’t realise there are also breakfast snacks available in the mornings until our last day. Something to keep in mind for net time. The bartender was excellent and chatted easily with us. Jeffrey the doorman was polite and courteous and arranged a car for us to return to the airport on our last day. The bed was comfortable, the shower was warm and strong, and the room was bigger than we expected. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is doe to problems trying to stabilise the air conditioning. We advised the front desk and they sent an “engineer” to our room very quickly but he really didn’t seem to know much at all. In fact I think we had a better idea of what was happening than he did. He offered a fan or suggested we open a window (in January? I don’t think so). We considered asking for another room but were concerned it might have the same problems. So we persisted and eventually got the hang of it but this took 3-4 nights. We were there to get married and it was such a happy time for us we didn’t want to get into any negative stuff with anyone. If you are looking for a good hotel in an ideal location at a reasonable price, this is it.

This hotel came as a pleasant surprise for us. The reception area is quite smart, with a small bar. But what pleased us most was the Malmaison style room, with a lovely comfy bed, good sized tv and a lovely large shower room. There are no tea and coffee facilities in the room, but bottles of water were replenished each day, along with nice toiletries. There was complimentary tea and coffee in the bar each morning and at times there were facilities for tea/coffee making alongside iced water in the reception. The location just could not be better: theatres, cafes, bars and of course Times Square all close by. The staff were lovely and there was a really cosy, welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a good deal compared with other similarly priced hotels in this area that we have stayed in. Thank you Ameritania.

Without the location this hotel sits in and Jeff the door man, the hotel would be pretty terrible. The price of the hotel is pretty good for New York, but there are certain things I expect when I still pay over £250 a night for a hotel room. 1) room cleaning service or at least new towels every day, 2) room cards that don’t deactivate themselves every time you go out and come back to the hotel, it is so frustrating going to your room EVERY day and having to go back down to reception for a new key card 3) reception staff because these ones are APPALLING, every single one of them has a bad attitude. This morning I ordered Uber eats and had photo confirmation that it had been left at reception, when I went down to collect it it was nowhere to be seen.. 4) the bar isn’t open 5) the air con is HORRENDOUSLY loud, honestly guys upgrade your ac system and 6) no kettle, as a British person I need tea, morning and evening, with no facility to even get a tea I’ve got to say I am less than impressed.
So in summary I wouldn’t stay here again I’d rather pay an extra £50 a night and stay somewhere better but if you don’t mind a hotel that isn’t luxurious in anyway shape or form then this is the hotel for you.
