Lamartine Chelsea

Forty steps off Eighth Avenue, Lamartine Chelsea occupies a walk-up brownstone on West 29th Street between the Chelsea gallery blocks and Penn Station's approach. The one-star budget property keeps rooms small and simple, geared toward travelers prioritizing subway access over amenities.

Penn Station's tunnels reach New Jersey Transit and the Long Island Rail Road in under ten minutes on foot, making this a practical overnight stop for early train departures rather than a leisurely Manhattan base.

Madison Square Garden and the High Line's southern entrance both sit within a six-block radius.
