yeah hostels can be great. i remember i stayed at one in chicago one time in between staying with friends and enjoyed the convenience.
in nyc the hi nyc hostel on the uws is huge and very nice and a fun experience. unlike some hostels, they also have private rooms. there are many others around the city too of varying quality.
back in the day i used to be a big hosteler and even helped open one. contrary to popular belief the usa actually has a lot of hostels scattered around. some are in really cool settings and are great experiences. some are very mediocre or even sus though. so yes when in doubt best to stick with hi approved.
