Phoenix (Tempe), Arizona -- 225 E Apache Blvd

Tempe was the second and last Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge and Restaurant complex to open in Arizona. Built at a prominent site across the street from the Arizona State University campus, the location opened in the fall of 1970 and was listed as a Howard Johnson property until 1994.

More recently the Motor Lodge operated as the Twin Palms Hotel.

The Howard Johnson's Restaurant attached to the 7-story Motor Lodge was long a popular spot for ASU students! It featured a centrally mounted spire cupola with its building in an architectural plan that was derived from the A-frame style of the Concept '65 design but its particular layout was found almost exclusively in the Southwestern states.
