Huntsville, Alabama
 -- 2524 Memorial Parkway

Huntsville's Howard Johnson's was a popular local landmark built as a classic Motor Lodge and Restaurant complex, and was opened in 1965. The Motor Lodge offered guests the choice of 80 standardized rooms, and the location originally featured an A-frame Gate Lodge. The property remained a Howard Johnson's until sometime during 1987.

Following its HJ days the Motor Lodge in its last life became the unbranded Alabama Inn. After years of neglect the entire site was razed by the middle 2000s.

The once popular and well patronized Huntsville Howard Johnson's Restaurant endured a series of tenants following its Orange Roofed days. During the 1990s it was home to Sai Gon, Seafood Lovers, El Ranchero, and finally in its last life was Memphis Blues.

Save for its concrete slab and parking areas, nothing remained of Huntsville's Howard Johnson's by the 2010s.
