I would definately stay at this hotel again. I stayed in a Superior room and my friend and I were looking for a cheap hotel in a good location in New York for 6 nights. The staff were really friendly when we checked in and we were given a comfortable room with a clean and working bathroom. There wasn't AC but the fan more than did enough to cool the room, our bed was made everyday and the towels and garbage bags were changed everyday when we were out.
Occassionally there were some noise from other rooms but nothing much, and the WiFi was dodgy on my device for the first couple of days but it was fine on my friend's and worked fine for me after that. Maybe not fantastic for a "romantic getaway" but very safe, clean and comfortable and also very cheap. I would definately stay in the Chelsea Star again, maybe not as a hostel as a bathroom was out of order when we got there so I can't imagine the queues, but could not be rivalled as a hotel.
