"Gulistan makes our welcome warmer!
And in the long run ... Gulistan costs less than hard-floor coverings." says Lee Craft, Manager Howard Johnson Motor Lodge, Milford, Connecticut.

In keeping with its assortment of buildings, Milford's, guest rooms were not quite standard. Nevertheless, they did offer some familiar Howard Johnson's features. While the room layouts were not standard, many had double vanities and built in open storage. Later the rooms were outfitted with standard fixtures and furnishings from Howard Johnson's Landmark Supply Division to help them better meet the expectation level of HoJo's guests.

Bob Venditti's earlier visit to Milford revealed guest rooms that seemed HoJo-like from the late 1980s, but Phil Edwards room decor appeared less original with its white headboards and furniture.
 
 
Below: Note that the room did not have a Pamper Panel, but instead offered only switches for the lights above the beds.
