Really dirty hotel, but amazing location.

I went for New Years, and let me say the hotel rooms are tiny. Look unkept, and are dirty. Our first night we had to move rooms, we found a huge, and I mean huge roach in our bathroom all over my friends things. We didnt want to stay in the room after that of course. When the manager came up he offered us a complimentary breakfast the next morning, which we never received. He then said that it was a common thing, that even hotels like the Hilton had them too. Yeah right. If you wake up easily for the slightest noise, this hotel isn't for you. The walls are so thin you can hear everything. I do have to say the only thing I really loved about this hotel was the location. It's so close to all the tourist attractions. You could walk about three blocks to Time Square, One block to Central Park, and Time Warner Center, which also not to far from Strawberry Fields. Fifth Ave is close. We seriously not once took a cab, subway line is right there, we walked everywhere since there was no need when it was just down the street to get to Rockefeller Center etc.. but other than that dirty hotel and poor staff. If you can deal with that then go for it. I personally wouldnt stay there again. I would stay at the Ramada or Hilton near Time Square.
