Howard Johnson's In Combination With
Motel
Howard Johnson's restaurants
with their orange tile roofs and "Colonial" cupolas
are already famous the whole length of the Atlantic coast. Such
good will and known, branded quality cannot help but benefit
the motel units in the restaurant's back yard. As a pleasant
buffer between restaurant and motel, there is a wide landscaped
strip developed as a recreation area. The attractive character
of the buildings--spreading, white, low-roofed--is immediately
impressed upon passing motorists by the dramatic tent-like spread
of a porte-cochere marking the office. There is a wide variety
of room arrangements. from single-bed room to one with double
beds.
