Opened
in June of 1968, the 125 room Redwood City location was
the site of the fourth Motor Lodge and 16th Howard Johnson's
Restaurant in California. Although it was unusually designed
with its "staggered" guestroom buildings, the
site incorporated all of HoJo's standardized amenities.
The
Motor Lodge retained its Howard Johnson name through 1994
and was then converted into an outlet of the local Good
Nite Inn
chain.
