| Fairfield inn in Battery Park is safe, friendly and pretty cheap. We were there for lower manhattan activities. |
OP specifically said not Lower Manhattan. Doesn't get much lower than Battery Park. |
I just got a hotel for this weekend near Bryant Park for $250! Marriott. |
NP- It's a great location though, sounds like op doesn't realize it and thinks it'll be inconvenient. We stayed at the Double Tree Hilton there: nice large room for NYC, view of statue of liberty, super quiet, subway to everywhere right there, can walk to South Street Seaport... |
That’s a great deal! |
Is that a courtyard? |

OP. I booked 3 nights at the Hyatt Place Chelsea for an average of $423/night, including taxes.
This was for 2 double beds in each room. Not the fanciest hotel, but decent location and price. |
For four people in one room? That's what the OP wants and it's not going for $250 in midtown last minute. |
Staying "close to the train station" would not be a priority for me in NYC

It’s kind of central and convenient for dropping off your bags/luggage |
Agree. In 2023, I stayed at the Hotel Indigo Trinity Place. It was across the street from a subway to go uptown. Clean and very nice room layout. We had a side view of Trinity Church. There are breakfast places and a 7-11 and a hotel restaurant. It's within walking distance of Fraunces Tavern where we had a very nice lunch. I don't care if it is a tourist trap. The food was good and I liked the dining room atmosphere. We went uptown to go to the theater. Stayed in that area again in August but did not like the hotel as well. It was fine but not as good ambience. It was near Jubilee Market which was convenient for grabbing grocery store food & hot bar Korean food when needed. I saw 5 shows and hotel savings helped. |

| I love the flower district in Chelsea - super convenient location, beautiful flowers by day and very quiet at nights. Lots of hotel options |
| Try Bryant Park area or East of Grand Central. IHG Even on 43rd St. |
If it is a short trip staying close to Penn station is great and makes it easier to make the most of your arrival and departure days. |
