The Mobile Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge was opened in the summer of 1969 and remained under its Orange Roof until about 1999. Then the Motor Lodge, owned and operated by Hospitality Ventures of Mobile Inc., was converted into a Guesthouse Inn. Its principal owner was Fred Whiddon described by some as a catalyst for Mobile's economy. He was founder and former president of the University of South Alabama who died following a bout with prostate cancer in 2002.

The former Motor Lodge was sold in 2005 and rebranded as a Howard Johnson. However its reconversion was brief and the property became unbranded as the Emerald Palms Hotel and Conference Center before ceasing operations during the early 2010s.
