The hype
Guests love the friendly staff and the free wine, but almost everyone mentions the street noise or the clanking heaters.
Ameritania At Times Square
$130-220/ natt
Boka detta om You want a stylish, relatively affordable crash pad right next to the Ed Sullivan Theater without the chaotic 'mega-hotel' feel of Times Square.
Varför människor älskar det
- Prime location: 5 minutes to Central Park, 5 minutes to Times Square
- Free wine hour daily from 5-6 PM in the lobby
- Boutique vibe in a Beaux-Arts building (feels less corporate than the big chains)
Snabb Överblick: A charmingly retro hotel that nails the location and lobby vibe but struggles with noise and aging room mechanics.
Recenserat av @simplyky1018: I stayed here for a girls' trip and the location is insane—you walk out and Times Square is right there. The room felt super modern and the hallway mirrors were perfect for our outfit checks before hitting Broadway. Definitely the main character energy we wanted.

Reality check
The 'boutique' label does heavy lifting for rooms that are often small and showing wear (peeling paint, worn carpets).
- You plan to spend all day on Broadway and just need a bed
- You appreciate a free glass of wine before dinner
- You want to be near Central Park but pay Times Square prices
Renlighet & Underhåll
7.8
- Housekeeping: Daily service is reliable, but they often miss dust on high surfaces and baseboards.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean, but older grout and drafty windows can make them feel less than pristine.
- Maintenance: The weak link. Peeling paint, scuffed furniture, and broken radiator knobs are common.
- Linens & towels: Standard hotel quality—clean and crisp, but not luxury thread count.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh; rooms can have a faint musty or 'old building' smell.

Insider-tips
