The Miami Beach Howard Johnson's had but three owners. After Herbert Pulitzer's sensational divorce trial in the early 1980s, he sold the Motor Lodge to the Voutsinas family.

The Voutsinas family carried on the fine traditions of the location and renovated the property soon after they had purchased it. However, even remodeled, they did not significantly alter its HoJo character. After enduring much abuse from Cendant, Mr. Voutsinas decided to relinquish the HJ name, and then he subsequently retired.

In the end, the former Motor Lodge was sold to its final owner, The Talmudic University of Florida which will cease its operations on July 9, 2006 and convert the site into its campus.
