Opened
on July 21, 1965, Anaheim was site of the first Howard Johnson's
Motor Lodge and second HoJo's Restaurant in the state of California.
Incredibly long-lived, the Anaheim
Howard Johnson Motor Lodge
celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2005. |
|
| Directly opposite
world-famous Disneyland in Anaheim (right on U.S. 101), Howard
Johnson's proudly unveils its newest example of outstanding
hostelry: the beautiful Howard Johnson's resort complex consisting
of ultra-smart guest accommodations (235 units), Howard Johnson's
familiar orange-roofed restaurant, featuring the renowned Lamplighter
Room, sophisticated cocktail lounge, swimming pool and wading
pool, meeting rooms with facilities for up to fifty persons--all
on 6 acres of ground opposite the Harbor Boulevard off-ramp
of the Santa Ana Freeway. Designed by architect William L/ Pereira,
this new example of already known Howard Johnson's hospitality
is destined to be talked about by motorists from all of the
world. It's that unusual." |

View
from the freeway
... Santa Anna Freeway motorists see our motor
lodge in Anaheim from this angle. A 113-room hi-rise was recently
added to the initial 95-room travel accommodations at this location.
Mission-type ached roof, one-of-a-kind design and the only major
exterior architectural change ever made in one of our lodges,
is keyed to the regional characteristics of southern California.
Also reflecting the Spanish influence, the four 2-story buildings
surround a landscaped open courtyard. |

Cocktails
for two
... or four or
any number are served in our pleasant Anaheim
lounge where Johnson Girl Dixie Vedder has a smile
for these visitors from Canada. Our restaurants
have long been known as landmarks, but here we
share that distinction with another well-publicized
establishment. Disneyland's "just across
the street." |
