Located immediately adjacent
to Homestead's Howard Johnson's was this circa mid-1960s Holiday
Inn. Somewhat larger than the HoJo's, it was of Holiday Inn's
nearly generic 1960s design. Featuring the standard Holiday Inn
rooms that lacked the amenities of a Howard Johnson's, the guest
would have felt cramped and lacked privacy as he used the lavatory
which was open to the room. When Hurricane Andrew devastated
Homestead in 1992, the former Holiday Inn suffered nearly catastrophic
damage while the superior construction of the Howard Johnson's
left it nearly unscathed. |
