 Islamorada, Florida

At some point the Howard Johnson's became part of the Holiday Isle Resort along with a couple of adjacent motels. At the risk of offending someone, I will say that from the brochure that Dan sent, the Holiday Isle resort and its hodgepodge of properties looks rather cheesy! Now that the owners have demolished the Orange Roofed Gate Lodge the place has lost whatever character it may have still had.

In the photographs that Richard took, the two HoJo's guest buildings maintain their exterior HoJoness, and the bottom photo shows that at least one of the buildings still has its HJ "stone" and original railings.
