Hotel Americano

Great location and service

Dig this place ! If you are an arts person it's an awesome location...without the stupid prices (at least for us)

The rooms are not designed for those traveling as "a family." Better suited for singles or couples. The "walls" of the bathroom are glass, so privacy requires some planning. If you want a view, you definitely need to be on the Uptown side. Room was definitely not as clean as it should have been . I strongly recommend a "Swiffer" type apparatus for cleaning the concrete floors in the room to clean up the hair left behind by the previous guests. Room is small, which is typical of Manhattan. One elevator broken, other one running insanely slow or perhaps monopolized by the housekeeping staff. Fire alarm woke us one day; no actual fire. Lighting in the room geared more toward saving energy than actually providing light; or maybe this was a stylistic choice.

The hotel was nice, but they had issues with the fire alarm that went off more than once at night. And then it took two calls to fix the AC (which we don’t actually think was fixed). Lastly, they didn’t replenish the toiletries each day and by the last day we almost didn’t have enough to shower. While the room is very cool, we think it needed a sitting area or table to eat. The staff was very friendly.

This hotel in Chelsea needs to decide what kind of hotel it is...a serious boutique hotel for adults or a party spot. Between a fire alarm going off in the middle of one night and a very wild party room another night, it was painful to stay there to conduct work. The staff tries to manage the situation as the best as they can, but they can't process everything to make a perfect stay. If you are visiting for business and need to focus on work, this is not the place to stay. The restaurant is very good, but the good vibes start and end there.
