Opened in the summer of 1969, the Mobile Motor Lodge once boasted 160 guest rooms. While the Restaurant ceased being a HoJo's around the time that the HJ Company was dissolved, the Motor Lodge carried on Under the Orange Roof until the late 1990s.

Note that in 2002 the former Restaurant had been gutted awaiting its next use.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After the Lodge lost the HJ name, it was unclear about its identity -- was it a Guesthouse Inn or the Extend-A-Stay USA? Greatly altered and sans the Gate Lodge it was likely that the relatively large property was split between the two.
