Fort Walton Beach, Florida -- 314 W Miracle Strip (U.S. 98)
New address: 322 Miracle Strip Parkway
 

Opened in 1965, Fort Walton Beach was a classic Motor Lodge and Restaurant complex. Located not at the beach but on the bay, the Motor Lodge originally offered 84 guest rooms. Later additional guest buildings were added upping the total to 140 rooms.

Last as Howard Johnson in 1999, it became the unbranded Sound Side Inn by 2001. Subsequently part of the former Motor Lodge was rebranded as a Roadway Inn, but by 2005 it had become unbranded again and was renamed the Bayside Inn.

The Motor Lodge was divided into two motels. The Gate Lodge and the guest building behind it remained less altered, while the other two interior corridor guest buildings were gutted and became the Quality Inn Bayside.
