I am really mad at you Hotels.com and I will not be using you again unless you want a refund me for the nights I stayed in that hell hole. You gave the hotel seven stars and what I should have done was look at what Google had which was one star and that was mostly because people couldn't believe less than that. The place was disgusting and I would have been better off just getting a blanket and crawling up underneath a freeway pass. There is no way in hell that Hotel 505 is a 3 star hotel. It is not a single star hotel and it is not a hotel. It is a flop house. Filthy, old, outdated, dangerous.... No sprinklers. I feared that a fire would break out and we were on the 5th floor, no less. And the day we checked out there was a drug deal going down between a "guest" and some guy in a car. It should be called a Motel 666.
The Google reviews, which I should have read stated the truth about this place and the management kept saying they were about to undergo renovations. No way in hell. This is not a chain hotel. It's probably owned by a couple of homies and we did the math. Each room would need a $10,000 upgrade and there are a 100 rooms. That's 1M bucks and does not address the sprinkler system, the exterior, and the elevator. There is no way these jokers can afford an upgrade. We didnt show up our last night and forfeited $200. Instead we stayed at a Hampton and it literally was Heaven vs Hell. Mark my words people, this place needs to be demolished. Old Howard Johnsons.
