Excellent value; it is an old Howard Johnson’s hotel, but reasonably well maintained. The bed was comfortable, room clean, and the breakfast was hot, with scrambled eggs, sausage, and waffles. When I called the front desk, asking for more blankets, they cheerfully brought two. The low room rate, cleanliness, good breakfast makes Hotel 505 a very good value. I’ll be back.
Nice lighting in the bathroom.  Nice full length mirror in a lovely frame.  Pleasant touches.

The room was in a state of extreme disrepair. The door had been kicked in several times. There was no shower curtain. The toilet was dysfunctional (I had to refill the tank using the ice bucket to transfer water from the sink to be able to flush). They charged me an unadvertised $200 security deposit for a one-night stay in a room that had already been destroyed.
