A Sugababes extended remix was playing in the lobby of the Ameritania when we visited, and somehow this fact provides an appropriate window onto the hotel. The Ameritania, a three-star hotel located at 54th and Broadway, feels very early 2000s. The hyper-stylized lobby, which could use a gentle spruce-up, looks as if it came out of a turn-of-the-century issue of Wallpaper. Don't get us wrong. The look is truly swanky, with fabulous low lighting, a modern feel, and a pair of attentive doormen, but it also feels almost like a period piece.

There is a range in room styles, though a vague art deco theme prevails, with mostly restrained tones in effect. Air-conditioning is in window-unit form. Room furniture and hallways alike could benefit from a revamp, though the standard maintains its basic elegance.

We'd recommend the Ameritania if the price is right. Standard rates begin in the neighborhood of $229 per night, and wireless Internet access runs $14.95 a day. Savvy travelers, though, can score rooms at cheaper rates by booking online, depending on availability. For smokers, the Ameritania is a find. It is one of the few hotels in our survey that offer smoking rooms.
