Hotel America is surrounded by trees and gardens, and upon arrival, guests will enter the parking area and follow the clearly marked signs to the small reception area in the main building. Patios and outdoor areas surround the hotel, and the outdoor pool is visible from the front desk. The lobby is plain but bright and clean, with grey tiled floors, high ceilings, several seating areas including tables and chairs, and a small wooden reception desk located next to the stairs. Tour information is available, and stairs lead to the guest room upstairs or the fitness center and spa services downstairs.

Tucked between a handful of restaurants, bars, and shops, guests at this property can walk into town and are located 800 meters from the water. While the sea is not visible from the hotel, it is fairly easy to get to (though there are closer hotel options), and the hotel is close enough to the main roads that travelers have easy access to the attractions around the region. The town is small and the hotel property is quiet and peaceful, since it’s just far enough from the nearby restaurants and shops to give guests privacy.

The Hotel America features 53 guest rooms in a variety of shapes and sizes, each individually decorated. Though color schemes vary, most have tile floors and basic wood furniture; a couple we saw had red patterned bedspreads, which added a cheery (if dated) feel. The least expensive rooms are the Economy Class Rooms, which are very simple, featuring clean areas and basic decor, with several sleeping configurations available. All rooms include air-conditioning, minibars, televisions, and telephones. Guests who prefer a bit of an upgrade should choose the Junior Suites or Suites, which are quite a bit larger and can include separate seating areas and multiple bedrooms. Many rooms also include either a patio or terrace, with beautiful views of the countryside and nearby towns.

Hotel America is a smaller property and has few features, but it is close enough to town that guests have a number of dining and shopping options within walking or driving distance. The on-site restaurant serves free breakfast as well as lunch and dinner, and features a number of regional dishes unique to the Cilento area. The fitness and wellness center includes exercise equipment as well as a whirlpool, sauna, and a small menu of face and body treatments. The hotel also includes a number of lovely outdoor areas, including spacious gardens and a small outdoor pool with patio and lounge areas.
