"Times Square Nugget"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 6, 2012
We really enjoyed our stay. We stayed for a week and were glad to find a hotel right in the heart of Times Square. The service was definitely top notch! The front desk was courteous and the concierge was very helpful, recommending great shows and restaurants. Our room was nice. It could've been a little larger. But the bathroom was a good size and the size of the TV's and the fact that they played HD was a bonus. Also, the bed was quite comfortable. The cleaning staff did a fine job of keeping up the room. I'll definitely recommend this hotel to others.
"Consistency. You can depend on it."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 6, 2012
Finding a "GOOD THING" these days can get harder and harder. For this reason when you come across a 'good thing" it is priceless. One of the most recent "good things " that I have come across is the PARAMOUNT hotel in Times Square. The first thing that I leave the hotel impressed by is the professionalism and commitment that is demonstrated by the staff. Starting with the front desk where I was checked in by Catherine and continuing until the driver which I received at the hotel hands me my luggage at the airport. Catherine followed the details of my visit until the moment I checked out. The only dislike that I had which eventually i got over was the view of the alley where the boiler or some loud machine was placed. I know that from now on I will request a room that faces anywhere but there. If you are going to New York and plan on taking in Broadway there could not be a more perfect location. I love this hotel so much I find myself wanting to travel to NYC more. I cannot wait until my next visit to the PARAMOUNT which I hope will be in the next few weeks.
"Affordable Quickie in NY"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
We had a very good time and the hotel was close to work.
""Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Very nice hotel, within walking distance to subway for access to Manhattan (take the 7 or E and you can get to grand central, times square, penn station). Just a few blocks to local restaraunts. The room was very clean, excellent staff, free shuttle to subway. Overall an excellent place to stay if your touring new york city. One note, if you are considering a "view room" save your money, the view is obstructed by a number of taller buildings (the hotel is only 7 floors). Overall an excellent experience and I would definitely stay again, especially at the rate because of the new hotel discount. If you plan to take a cab from the hotel call one yourself because the service the hotel uses charges a flat rate to specific areas and you can get a cab on your own for cheaper generally.
"Nice hotel in the theatre district"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on May 5, 2012
Very nice hotel in the theatre district. Friendly and helpful staff. Basic room accomodations but very clean. Would recommend.
If the Theater District is on your top 10 list of New York must-sees, the Ameritania is the place to be. You'll be right around the corner from the Ed Sullivan Theater, home to The Late Show with David Letterman and his famous Top 10 lists. Dozens of other Broadway theaters are within a half-mile. And just 4 blocks south, the excitement of Times Square beckons day and night.
As you explore the city, stop for a hot pastrami sandwich and a thick slice of cheesecake at the Carnegie Deli, a New York icon just a 2-minute walk from the hotel. You can burn off your sugar high and a few calories with a walk or run in beautiful Central Park, 4 blocks north of the hotel. Stop by the Central Park Zoo on the southeast side of the park, and bark "hello" to the friendly sea lions. Feeding time is especially fun. Exit the park on the east side, and find yourself on fashionable Fifth Avenue.
After sightseeing, shopping, or shows, take time to unwind in the hotel's Twist Lounge. Settle into a sofa by the fireplace and sip a glass of wine or a martini from the full-service bar. Ready for dinner? Dozens of affordable restaurants, many open till the wee hours, are within a short walk.
Even in The City That Never Sleeps, you'll want to settle down for the night. Small but stylish guestrooms feature platform beds made up with crisp white Belgian linens and down duvets. Watch your favorite late-night show--Letterman, perhaps?--on the cable TV. Check email or plan tomorrow's adventures via wireless Internet access (surcharge). Your marble bathroom is stocked with British Gilchrist & Soames products. Windows have blackout curtains for a good night's sleep.

Once seedy, Times Square now hosts ABC, MTV, and NASDAQ.
see all hotels in New York"nice room EXCELLENT staff"
Staff was over the top helpful. Room clean and neat. Wish there was something other than a deak chair though. Not enough room power outlets.
"weird"
The decor looks like a 70's pr0n film, in the room and out. My pillows were bedazzled and the lamps were pleather. I found it hilarious, but others might not. My main beef was with the hotel staff... I waited a long time to get checked in and even though my reservation was made well ahead of time, they had to scramble to find a room. Also, I accidentally […] locked myself out of my room one evening and the man at the front desk was completely unresponsive when I walked up to the desk. I tried to talk to him and stood for 5 minutes and he did not respond or even look at me... just bizarre. Read more
"worst stay EVER!!!!!!!!"
It seemed fine when I got to my room , then had to go the bathroom when I flushed water came out everywhere!! Called downstairs they came an "fixed"it...so I thought till I came back that night an wouldn't flush again ! Also a fuse blew in my room as I was getting ready! Took 20 min for soMeone to come up an fix the toilet an electricity . I told them […] to leave the plunger because I knew I would need again . Everytime had to use the pluger for the toilet to flush!!!! They also don't have blackout shades so be ready to be up early! Will Never stay there again! Read more
"Loved it!"
Newly-renovated with nice staff! Room was larger than expected and very comfortable!
"great location, horrible construction"
While this hotel is perfectly located for exploring all that NYC has to offer, many of the rooms directly face a large building under construction. At night the flood lights make your room incredibly bright, and the noise is very hard to ignore. When booking definitely clarify that you do not want a room that faces W. 54th st. You will be glad you […] did... Read more
"Make sure you request a room with curtians"
Rooms are cramped. I had (2) different rooms because the first night they put me in a room with nothing over the window except plastic blinds that were too narrow by 12inches and too short by 2 feet. With a construction site across the street with very bright lights. The staff was accommodating about changing rooms, but why would you ever put someone […] in a room like that. I don't think i will be going back to this hotel (note that I have stayed here before and the experience was good, but this was so bad I don't want to give them another chance. Read more
nice for a short stay very small, but very clean and neat. room had no view and no ice machine on floors
"Very nice"
Great hotel and amazing location. Right in the hart of broadway. Very small room but it was nice, clean, and modern.
"Too small, rude staff"
My room was the size of a shoebox. Also -- the front desk staff talked about me while I was standing right in front of them. They almost charged my credit card twice, someone had to intervene to fix the charge. The person with my card admitted "she didn't know what she was doing" which is not a reassuring thing to say in front of a customer. Another […] front desk person told a man who was inquiring about the last room available that he could "take it or leave it at $290". She was very rude to him, he didn't take the room. Read more
"the hotel Amertitania great location"
this is a nice small chic hotel close to all you want to see in times square/central park area, staff was very helpful and friendly, a coffee maker in the room would have been nice but not a deal breaker, we will go back and recommend it.
"Very Noisy and Small Rooms"
The hotel is being renovated so I would assume that the management would place you in room that are not so close to the work and workers. NOT. Also, my room was on top of the air conditioner/heater compressor and very loud. Had hard time resting and sleeping. Talked to front desk but not assistance was extended to me. I guess customer service has not […] reached their training manuals. Oh well. NOT to be repeated again. It looked and sounded good online but very disappointed. Read more
"Thumbs up for The Ameritania Hotel!"
I stayed at this hotel about 4 years ago, then returned just last weekend. I was eager to see the newly re-modeled hotel. I loved the modern updated look! It's in a great location. Not far from Central Park or Hell's Kitchen. It's real close to my favorite brunch/lunch spot called the EATERY on 53rd and 9th AV. Enjoy!
"The Ameritania in NYC - right by The Late Show!"
This was a great hotel. The staff was friendly, and rooms were clean. The location is unbeatable, around the corner from The Late Show with Dave Letterman!
"Great location, clean room"
I was hesitant to book at this hotel b/c I read poor interviews, but I took a chance anyway...and I'm so glad I did. The room was clean, nice bathroom, flat screen TV. I would recommend using earplugs at night, but otherwise a good hotel if you get it for a discounted rate. Parking garage offers a special rate and less than one block away so you have […] to drop your luggage, then go park the car. This hotel was in a prime location only 5 blocks from Times Square. Also, a Whole Foods was around the corner on 60th street so I went there for hot, fresh breakfast and snacks. Read more
"Hotel Ameritania Review"
Hotel was so close to Times Square, Theaters, 5th Ave and lots of great resturants and 4 blocks to central park. There is a subway station close by as well. The room was small and it would be hard to stay there with more than 2 people, but my husband and I were ok. Very quiet room. Our only complaint (and it isn't much) is that the room was warm and […] the lights in the room were kind of difficult to work, but once we figured them out- it was ok. I would stay here again and highly recommend it. Read more
"Ameritania Hotel-great location"
Staff was exceptionally helpful, we were able to check in early and had our check out time extended as well. Rooms were clean and modern. Lobby was cheerful, with a breakfast bar by day and an adult bar by night. On our last day, our bags were held for no charge while we enjoyed one last lunch in the "Big Apple" before our flight home.
"Ameritania, New York"
The hotel has been renovated so the rooms are fresh and modern. Of course the rooms are on the small side but it is NY after all and they are fie for 2 people. Hotel is a short walk to Times Square or Columbus Circle and subway drops. Both the front desk and the bellhops were extrememly friendy and helpful.
"Perfect Location"
The hotel was right in the theatre district, just two blocks from the Gershwin Theatre. Was also close to a number of great places to eat. The actual room was small, but perfect for a short stay in New York, who spends the day in their room anyway! The hotel has been renovated, so everything was great quality. If only the room had come with a small […] coffee maker and complimentary coffee, it would have been perfect. Read more
"Good night in NYC"
We (2 adult, 1 child) stayed at Ameritania one night. The room was good sized esp. for NYC. Furnishings were new and very nice. Location was great in midtown. Could not beat the price. Would definatley use this spot again.
This guest did not leave a comment.
"Ameritania at Times Square"
Could not imagine a better location, close to some of the major NY sites. Only a few blocks away from MOMA, a few blocks away from the bars and restaurants of Hell's Kitchen, a few blocks away from Central Park, a few blocks away from the shopping of 5th avenue, and a few blocks away from Times Square. Very sleek, modern vibe to the lobby and rooms. […] Very, very satisfied with my stay. Read more
"You Don't Have To Look Any Further"
If you're looking for a great location and price point in NY, don't look any further. I've stayed at my fair share of hotels in NY and this one is by far the best. The rooms may be a little bit small, but for the purpose of leaving your bag and sleeping, I think it's perfectly sized. It has a modern flair which is nice and not too overdone. I myself […] being a more traditional person when it comes to decorating loved this hotel. Again, the location right on Broadway and a couple blocks from Times Square and great restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner couldn't be any better. I would stay again! Read more
"Ameritania"
Hotel location, decor and staff were great. We'll stay again!
"Worst Hotel in NYC? Possibly."
The location is great - right near the heart of Times Square. But it's down hill from there. The hotel is dirty, the rooms, despite being renovated, have old mattresses, old towels (which you may not need anyway - read on) and a smell that says "moth balls." After Checking in I went to take a shower before joining my friends at a local restaurant but […] surprise - there was no water in the hotel that night. When I called the front desk the manager snapped at me and said "there has been literature for 2 days stating that we will not have water here tonight." when I asked why it wasn't brought to my attention at check in OR when I made the reservation he simply hung up on me. Never have I been treated as poorly as I was at the Ameritania. I would not recommend wasting your money at this property. Read more
"Good location. Small room"
Very good location close to Time Sq. Room is small but nice and clean. Overall good stay for the cost.
"Ameritania Hotel on West 54th & Broadway in NYC"
The hotel has been recently renovated, and the rooms are well appointed. However, I had requested a queen size bed and was not given one. They are currently building a new office tower across the street from the hotel on W. 54th and if your room faces that side of the building you WILL definitely be awakened at 7:00 am when the jack hammers and construction […] begins. I understand the building should be finished in 2013. Read more
Small but upgraded rooms. Friendly helpful staff.
"Very Pleased"
Room was a little small but it suited my needs. Loved the decor and the shower. The staff was very friendly & helpful. I will definitely be returning!
I cannot believe the great rate!
"Right in the heart of Times Square!"
Very nice boutique hotel near everything. Beautiful, comfortable bed linens. Would definitely stay there again.
"location!"
The location was perfect! Step outside of the lobby and Time Square is just around the corner. The rooms are small but the price (considering you're in Times Square district ) can't be beat. We'll be back!
"Very Good Choice"
Took a bit of a flyer on this hotel. Got a great rate so was a little skeptical. Turned out to be a great choice. King Bed, completely remodeled room, walk-in shower, very modern decor. I would highly recommend the deluxe room for any business traveler. For tourists, this hotel is attached to the same building as the Ed Sullivan Theatre - David Letterman […] show, and Broadway shows are very near. Read more
"Great hotel"
Great location, Great price, the standard room is a little small but it really is a great hotel. 5 STARS
"best bargain for the price"
I was going to stay in Chelsea, but the rates and hotels there were not half as nice as this one. The staff were quite helpful and ready to take care of my needs. The bed was wonderful. I want to know the name of that mattress maker for my next bed. It was very firm while having a soft top. The only drawback is that they were doing major construction […] of 2 new skyscrapers across the street, so either ask for a side room or ask to be on a high floor to keep the noise to a minimum. The noise begins between 7 and 8am. Read more
"location is first"
doormen are kind and helpful. the room needed new windows. they had done a complete restoration-renovation of the rooms yet forgetting to put new windows. The old ones let in noise, cold air, didn't close properly. the construction there is a nightmare. ask for a back room away from the street, high above, but then you'll be waiting for minutes on end […] for the slow elevators to make it up. it was cheap. it was located perfectly. it lacked proper over-viewing management. but they did their best to make my stay pleasant. there is no better hotel I found for that price. I will return. Read more
"Ameritania Hotel in Theater District"
I took my daughter to New York for her thirteenth birthday, so she could see Phantom on Broadway. We stayed at the Ameritania, and thought it was wonderful! The hotel was right in the theater district, and adjacent to time square. The staff was friendly and helpful, our room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. I have already recommended the hotel […] to others and will continue to do so. I will definitely be a returning customer! Read more
"It kept getting worse ....."
Let me just start and say we are not people that expect much . We understand things can get messed up sometimes so we are understanding of mistakes but I felt like the Ameritania was not trying at all . To start we arrive at 4:30p for a 3:00 check in and our rooms were not ready along with about 5 other couples seeming quite upset that it was taking […] so long to get our rooms . After waiting till 5:00 to get our room we made our way to the really slow and stained floored elevator . Our floor had heavy fumes of paint . Our rooms were nice and clean but small ( even though a deluxe ) . After being in the room 3 minutes a random engineering worker opens and enter our room claiming "he was looking for the wi-fi" . In the morning they had a basic continental breakfast in the lobby , which we were asked for our room number . We ate in the lobby, but when we went to see the dining room there was a small sign off to the left side headed Contenental breakfast. Then below in literally fine print 10.00 per person . We got the charge taken off after complainging but i dont think most hotel guest saw the sign . Then on the way back to our room at 9:30am the housekeeper yelled down the hall what time are you checking out? You don't know what time you're checking out? This was a first for all 3 of us. Read more
"Ameritania Hotel New York - good"
The hotel is within walking distance of nearly everything you need to be by. The area is pretty safe, just be wary if you have children, we did pull up beside some shady characters. The hotel staff were all friendly and happy to answer any questions we had. The room was small - duh, it's New York. But the bed was extremely comfortable. One issue we […] had was that the windows are VERY thin and there were two construction sites across from us, they would start around five in the morning every day. I would just recommend ear plugs. Otherwise, it was clean, well kept, recently renovated and safe. It was a pleasant stay, and we ended up spending the first night we arrived just in the hotel eating pizza. I would definitely recommend this hotel to someone who wants to be close to everything in the city. Read more

"Great Location"
It was an overnight stay for me and my husband. Pretty much as I expected based on reviews I read. I was disappointed with room. We were told we had a king bed but it turned out to be a king bed platform with a queen mattress. We kept hitting corners, painful. Pillows were awefull and tv remote and phone did not work. 1 day ok but would not do more […] than that. Staff nice.. Read more
"Stayed Week After Christmas"
We were in New York from 12/25 through 12/31. We stayed at the Hampton Inn on 8th Ave for the first three nights, and at Ameritania the last three nights. The reason we switched to the Ameritania is because our plans to visit some friends in NJ fell through, and the rates at the Hampton were going way up. I wish we would have found the Ameritania earlier […] and stayed there the whole trip. The Ameritania rates were one-half the cheapest nights at the Hampton Inn, and were one-third the expensive nights. The Ameritania was just as nice, more convenient, and the staff was wonderful. The Ameritania provided a great experience. The door men/bell hops were wonderful - they interacted well with our kids, joked with them making it fun, and even learned their names by the second day. They were very helpful with information and excellent local restaurants. I cannot say enough good things about how welcome they made us feel. The door men also suggested how to easily get out of Times Square to JFK on New Year's Eve. They arranged a car service, which charged less than the taxi cab that brought us from JFK into the city (I paid the commission rate but it was still expensive with the tolls). I only mention this because others have posted negative comments about the car service suggestion by the door men. As expected, the car service was a much nicer vehicle and clean. The driver was a native New Yorker, spoke English, helped with luggage, and took local roads through Queens to get from Times Square to JFK in about 35 minutes in a mess of traffic (all things that the taxi driver was not able to do). On top of it all, the car service driver was blown away when I paid him the same as what the taxi driver got for the trip in. In the end, the stay at Ameritania made the whole trip a great experience and visit to NYC. Read more

"AMERITANIA 40th Birthday NEW YORK MIN."
The Ameritania is a great find centrally located near all the happenings in New York. Time Square, Broadway, and David Letterman's Studio minutes away. Many choices of eateries and you can walk to all the sights and sounds in a New York minute! Awesome Awesome Great Rate! LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!
"Good Hotel!"
Check in with Emerald could not have been better. I was quickly upgraded to Room 805 upon request which is a corner King room. Room was clean every day. Bed is a mattress on a platform. I can see why some wouldn't like this but i found it comfortable and not an issue at all. Impossible for a hotel to please everyone when it comes to a mattress. Bathroom […] very modern and clean. Construction inside hotel minimal and across the street is significant, but I never heard either nor was bothered by them. (leave for work at 7AM and no noise up till that point. No noise after 7PM either) EXCELLENT location! Go out door and turn corner on Broadway and you are looking down the street at Times Square. Easy walk! Dave Letterman next door. Only issues I had with room. The toilet was installed too tight to sink so when you sit down, you are up against the sink. Again, just a product of maximizing space in a NYC hotel room! The other, as others have stated is the lack of TV channels. Has the 3 major networks, some news and a couple cable. No DSC, TLC or other major cable. No reason a hotel should not have better TV! (did have nice flat screen) I was staying on business so I enjoy relaxing at night watching some TV. (wifi is $10/day also) Neither should be a dealbreaker for staying at this clean, well located hotel. Those of you complaining of small rooms, if it is an consolation, this is NYC and it is the norm unless you spend significant more $$$ per night. Be nice and ask politely for an upgrade at check in!! Would definately stay here again. Read more
"Love ameritania"
Been staying here for 14 years now. Was redone last year and it's as gorgeous as ever with the kindest staff! It's my home away from home in NYC !
"Great location, so so service"
I originally booked the least expensive room and found it to be just too small. They comped be a larger room for one of the three nights I was there. The front desk personnel were ok but not overly friendly. This hotel is newly renovated and the condition is quite good. There is construction across the street that starts at 8 AM with jackhammers every […] day including Sunday. Very loud and difficult to sleep in. I had a comfortable bed with four fat foam pillows. I asked if they had any feather pillows and was told they did not. The only ice machine they have is in the lobby so you have to come all the way down just to get ice. All in all it was a good deal for the price I paid but not totally thrilled with the experience. The hotel is in a great location for exploring the sites of NYC. Read more
This was a last minute booking a week before Christmas. Location couldn't be any better... in the middle of everything. Staff was fun and very accomidating. Loved it.

"Overnight stay with the kids"
I stayed at this hotel with my two kids- ages 7 & 8. It was a trip to the city to enjoy ice skating in Central Park, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, and Ripley's Believe it or Not. The hotel's location is PERECT! It's located near all points of interest! There are great places near to eat and Starbucks across the street. The people working at the […] hotel are very friendly and did not hesitate to give us a late check out. The room is VERY SMALL. The room has been updated, but poor choice of carpeting. I read all the reviews and expected to hear noise from the construction across the street. However, we stayed in room 522 and didn't even hear a nail being hammered! The price I paid for the room and the location of the hotel can not be beat!!! Read more
