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 somwhat like the earlier Ocala Motor Lodge complex. Located on a big chunk of what became prime real estate, the old Motor Lodge & Restaurant were levelled to make way for a shopping center anchored by a Publix Supermarket.

Below: The Boca Raton Restaurant was an especially profitable unit and was not converted by Marriott into one of its concepts or closed following Marriott's aquisiton and dissolution of HoJo's roadside hospitality empire. On July 26, 1991 it was one of 17 Howard Johnson's Restaurats which Marriott transferred to Franchise Associated Incorporated, and it remained open as a Howard Johnson's until the latter 1990s.
