Tarpon Springs, Florida
-- 38724 US 19 N
 

Built along U.S. 19's dense commercial strip at Klosterman Road, the Tarpon Springs Mansard complex opened in the summer of 1973. Its site sloped down from the highway to a small lake where the original guest buildings were built. The Mansard Restaurant and Lobby, which faced US 19, were later demolished.

By 2003 the Motor Lodge was just barely recognizable and operated as a Holiday Inn. Following its HI days it was briefly the Tarpon Springs Hotel & Resort Suites and then became a Quality Inn.
