Opened
in early 1968, the Montgomery-East Howard Johnson's was a
classic Motor Lodge and Restaurant complex offering just 62
guest rooms. It was strategically sited on the east side of
Montgomery where the Eastern By-Pass (U.S. 80) and I-85 intersected,
and motorists would have been hard-pressed not to see it while
driving through Montgomery.
Relatively
long-lived, the Motor Lodge didn't lose its HJ status until
about 1995 and was subsequently converted into the Wynfield
Inn. The site was razed in August of 2003. A Sam's Club was
built behind the former Motor Lodge and a Drury Inn came to
occupy the HJ's site. |
