Found the Americana Inn in Priceline, goid price, if going in May or after during the summer, bring a fan, as there us ni A/C or ceiling fan, shared bathrooms are very clean. They are walking dustance away from Broadway, Empire State Building etc, subway , taxi or bus for the rest.

After booking the hotel i read the reviews and got scared. How ever on arrival it seems like the place is in the final stages of a paint job and a bit of an over haul. Yes the amenities are very basic and yes you do share a bathroom but everything is fresh and clean. I had a single room... More

Thas's all this place has. Small rooms, worn out beds, half broken venetian blinds, just one towel per person, noisy, no private bathroom, no internet, staff unfriendly. The only plus is its location in the heart of Manhattan. If this is not the last hotel available, shop for something else.

The review on Tripadvisor really help. Since I have a small budget and I did not expect much from the hotel, honestly, I was prepared for the small room and shared bath room, as it is stated in the hotel description. The hotel though is very old but thanks to the room chamber maids, they are cleaned in the afternoon... More

The hotel advertisement on the website I used for finding it wasn't clear in regards of the shared bathroom, which was very annoying to me but I could cope with it since it was just an overnight stay. I wasn't satisfied at all, since they don't have Wi-Fi on the rooms, not even one of those you have to pay... More

My friend and I love NYC! For an affordable hotel stay, reminiscent of "room & board" the Americana Inn makes the grade. Friendly staff, central location, very clean. Though no en-suite bathrooms, there are several on each floor, and NEVER a line. Yes, there is street noise so ear plugs are a must. Remember to request extra towels and facecloths... More

Occasionally I stay at a hotel like this to check it out as a lower cost option; I was sadly disappointed! The rate was about $150/night, which is not a cheap date, even in NYC at different times, and there were other options at the same rate this trip. The requirement to ring the doorbell should have been the first... More

The location could not be better, the prices are reasonable, staff polite and efficient and the bathroom (shared) was clean and the water nice and warm. We did hear traffic noise and there was a bit of building work in progress down the road but you are within a hundred yards of Broadway so you get the lullaby

This hotel is the perfect location for visiting NY Rather basic, but very clean, and only few meters from Times Square and Empire State building if you can, ask for a quiet room, not facing the street
