The Tucson Motor Lodge/Restaurant complex was the first to open along Arizona's Highways. Howard Johnson's expanding rapidly West during the end of the 1960s, Tucson opened in the Fall of 1969. It featured a traditional layout that included an A-frame Gate Lodge. Unfortunately its Gate Lodge was demolished and replaced with a "Pueblo-looking" lobby building.
