Opening
in about 1958, Boca Raton was the fifth or sixth Motor Lodge
to open in the Sunshine State. With 53 guest rooms,
the Lodge was built in the Nims style very much like the
earlier Ocala Motor Lodge. Located on a big chunk of high
priced real estate, the old Motor Lodge succumbed to redevelopment
and by 2004 no trace of it could be found.
Even
its Restaurant which had survived into the middle 1990s
had been leveled by 2004. |
