Re-clad
in turquoise colored metal roofing material, by 2006 the facade
at Windsor Locks had been rendered less interesting than its original
configuration. |

The Restaurant facility was originally dominated by a Red Coach
Grill/Tally Ho Lounge and small scale but standard HoJo's Restaurant
in about the spot which Club 91 had come to occupy. |

Having
amazingly survived for more than thirty years in reasonably
good condition (perhaps due to its relative isolation from
criminal elements that often inhabit lodging facilities that
have been passed by), Windsor Locks had reclaimed the Howard
Johnson name by the middle 2000s. Its towering highway sign
was refaced, and modest enhancements were made to the property.
It
was a difficult and short-lived road for the resurrected HoJo's
at Windsor Locks, for it lost the HJ name shortly after it
had reclaimed it! |

The
owners of Windsor Locks abandoned the Howard Johnson name
by early 2008 renaming their property the Beverly Hills Suites.
Apparently desperate to have a return on their investment
they stooped to knew lows renting the property out to swingers'
groups!
A
sting operating in November of 2008 resulted in the arrest
of one of the property's owners and the hotel was cited with
several violations. Others involved were charged with obscenity
and public indecency. |
