Best Western Americania

Overall:

"We liked the Americania overall, but if we stayed there again, we'd try to get a room further from the pool; we were right next to it, and it was often noisy because of kids running to and from it." — source Hotels.com

"\n\nI think this would be a good hotel for an overnight stay, I did 3 nights and tho pleasant enough, there are simply too many other more desirable hotels in the same price range closer to Union Square and other places." — source Travelocity

"I would certainly recommend this hotel to others." — source Expedia

"So I do not suggest eating at the facilities they recommend." — source Hotels.com

"I highly recommend the hotel." — source Hotels.com

"When the kids arrived, there in the room sat a welcome basket with all kinds of goodies, Coco Puffs, milk, chocolate milk, bananas, popcorn, cookies with a card that read." — source Travelocity
