Apparently well-maintained and still a viable property, Redwood City's grounds remained attractive. Its guest rooms apparently never featured beams, but the second floor rooms did have vaulted ceilings.

Right: Note that the interior view shows a single room. Interestingly and true to its original form, a tile floor covered the entryway. The exaggerate in height door was a feature in many Howard Johnson's Motor Lodges, for it facilitated use of the tall roll-away beds which were once standard at Hojo's.

Rounding out the amenities, the Redwood City Restaurant, nicely preserved as an IHOP, was built not in the California-style, but in the more common "T-style" prevalent on the East coast. Both were based on the larger "Concept '65" prototype buildings, and featured A-frame entry-ways.
