Mon May 26 2008This hotel is in the middle of anywhere you need to get to in the city. It's a small boutique hotel, which is very trendy and cute. The rooms are spacious, with beautiful clean bathrooms (which always are important factors in a Hotel Room). It's close to Times Square, which means near all transit. Even though I've stayed there in the Winter, when I was inside, I always felt like I was in a South Beach little Hotel...

Thu Dec 14 2006The Scene For fans of Broadway, this hotel is centrally located in the former Leavitt Building. The triple-arched brick and limestone facade has been dramatically renovated, and an additional five new floors bring the guest room number to 200. The theater tie-in continues in the hotel's David Rockwell-designed American brasserie, District, which features a woven stainless steel curtain drawn up to one side as if opening onto a stage. The Details Commissioned artwork reflecting theater and dance hangs in the guest rooms. Accommodations are lavishly adorned with European linens, featherbeds and duvets, and come with robes, L'Occitane bath products, high-speed Internet access and multi-line cordless phones with data ports. In-house spa services and a fitness center are among the extras.

Mon May 08 2006Bravo! I can't say enough fabulous things about this hotel and my stay here. I loved my room, and the shampoos: "L'Occitane" brand which is an upgrade from the "Philosophy" products they used to use. No skimping on hotel shampoos here! "L'Occitane" is very expensive and you can only buy it at their store or Bergdorf's. Staff was perfect, the BEST cocktails in the city, and food was pretty interesting as well. I liked the mini hamburgers. Don't forget an in room massage too.

Sun Jul 17 2005Just returned from 4 nights at The Muse and everything was perfect. The room was spacious and well-appointed, the staff (all of them) were exceptionally friendly and professional and the air-conditioning was COLD (important in July). Each evening not only was the bed turned down when we returned from the theater, but the ice bucket was full and there were fresh towels. Our room was quiet (on the 12th floor) and the NYT was outside our door, even on Sunday. I signed up for e-mail specials at the Hotel web site and got a great rate that way.

Sun Jan 02 2005Spent three nights over New Years...of course cant beat the location one block from Times Square.Beatifully decorated rooms and common areas.We were checked in within 2 minutes.For quiet rooms,ask for a room away from 46th street as the windows are not well insulated for street noise.Difficult getting city cabs in front of hotel which requires you to reserve car service to the airports.This is reliable,but you will pay more.Would def. return to this hotel.

Thu Dec 04 2003My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel last weekend I compliment them on the high standards set by the hotel and staff. Even before the end of the first day my wife had already decided we should return for a longer stay as soon as time allows

Wed Jul 23 2003The lobby? Cozy and Stylish. The bar? Classy. Service? Perfect. The rooms? Spotlessly clean and modern- beautiful. But what about the stay did I remeber the most? The huge bar of luxurious oatmeal soap and the "personality" brand shampoo and conditioners. Seriously among the best hotel amenities I've ever used. Fantastic hotel in a great location, will DEFINITELY visit again.

Sun Jul 20 2003Quite enjoyed my three nights, two days. My only concern was with a minibar charge that was handled quickly and to my satisfaction. Good people, comfortable room, great soap.

Sun Jun 01 2003Best period I stayed in, in years. Previously I have been at Royalton, 60 Thompson, Chambers. Service and staff were exceptional. I asked if I could have jacket pressed - midday and a manager simply took it off my back and told me he would return if 10 minutes. He was back in 5 and I got a free cup of coffee while I waited. Food/bar is quality and the rooms are bigger than the hotels I've already mentioned.

Sat May 24 2003I had read all the reviews on this website before going to the Muse. But I was very disappointed with their service. I requested 2 toothbrushes and paste, 2 forks and wine opener. First it took them 30 minutes and 3 more calls for them to show up. And they show up with one toothbrush, one fork. they told us they couldn't find another toothbrush and they ran out of paste and they forgot the other fork and wine opener. Well you can now decide for yourself how the service was. but I loved the room.

Sun Apr 27 2003The best I've encountered in NYC. Travel on business and weekends. Very clean and the best bathroom this side of the Four Seasons.

Mon Dec 30 2002I am writing this from our comfortable room on 12/31/02. The staff has already made us feel right at home and provided us with a letter with all that is happening this evening. Gotta go and enjoy. Thanks for all your positive responses, they are right-on!

Tue Dec 10 2002This hotel is very clean, very comfortable and the staff are good, good folk. Perfect for eveything I needed to do.

Mon Dec 09 2002We would not have picked the muse if it were not for all the help you provided. Although there were a few "clunkers," it appeared that the majority more than enjoyed their trip. We did too. A simply wonderful hotel and staff. Thank you all and thanks to the Muse!

Mon Dec 02 2002Just spent this Thanksgiving at the Muse with my family. The location was great for shows and the subway. The service was awesome and everyone went out of their way to make the trip special. They arranged for a car to pick us up at the airport and made sure it stayed when our flight was delayed 3 hours. Could not of had a better time. I'ts the only place I'll ever stay in NYC again.

Tue Nov 19 2002Great, quiet, comfortable and a super location. Staff is there - all the time and the restaurant and bar are just as good. T1 access for my business works each and every time. Thanks!

Mon Nov 18 2002Super, super stay. Big TVs, great amenities, wonderful bed and beding. Couldn't be better for business. I have advised my corporate travel department to book you. Again, thanks

Fri Nov 15 2002Although I was suprised to read recent negative reviews, given the numerous positive ones, I was, indeed, thrilled with my stay. It is true the amenities are great and so is the staff. ALL of them. Restaurant was very good and the room service was prompt - a big plus.

Thu Nov 14 2002Upon arrival the Front Desk staff seemed preoccupied. It seems as though I was bothering the desk agent because I wanted to check in! They didn't have the room I had requested so I was placed in a single smoking room - totally unacceptable! I will say this, the room amenities are nicer than many hotels (nice big bar of soap), but that would not sway my decision to never stay at The Muse again.

Thu Nov 14 2002I was very unimpressed with the service and the room itself. Midnight Pantry, when asked they dont have it anymore. Take it off the website! Rooms are large but lack any style. When checking in the staff were complaining about a manager and not really concerned with their primary duty, "their job of checking my wife and I in". Bellman are very friendly but that's all. Restaurant is superb. The hotel should definatley take lessons from the restaurant. We tried to call down to the front desk to ask about getting reccomendations for a restaurant, it took almost forever for someone to answer the phones. My wife and I wondered where they ever got the idea calling themselves Boutique.

Thu Nov 07 2002A really neat place that I had not heard of before. Although my travel agent told me about it, I checked out the website my self and booked it. Great people and oooh, such a comfortable bed. Even the soap was fantastic and a sized like I would buy for home - that 's a change from the 50 cent size I usually see.

Tue Oct 01 2002Simply a great, warm hotel. Staff is super and the beds are over the top. I couldn't have been happier.

Mon Sep 23 2002I have been a regular business traveler to NYC but on this trip I brought MOM in for a surpise weekend get-a-way and took her to Mama Mia. I thought I would try another hotel rather than the Royalton and I am glad I did. It was a great show and great hotel expeience. Staff was wonderful to both of us, making us feel like we had been in before. They helped confirm our theater tickets and offered counltess other service, including a relaxing spa treatment for her special day. All my business is now going to the Muse.

Tue Aug 06 2002So....the view sucked and the hotel was in a pretty sketchy little area of Times Square, and the room was unbelievably tiny, BUT....the BED was AWESOME~! It was huge and just....fluffy. A great place to crash for the night. The bathrooms were also pretty nice. Actually--the hotel was all-in-all pretty nice, its just that I think they got a bit jipped with their location. Only like a block for Times Square though so that's not too bad. REALLY friendly staff. Small lobby though.

Mon Jun 24 2002I was reccommended to the muse from some clients. Not so impressive. Would not call it boutique. Comfortable rooms, very spacious but not boutique at all. Beds very nice. Furniture is very flimsy. Bath products nice. When asked of the concierge, they were not so helpful. overrated!
