Situated immediately
along U.S. 41, the famous Tamiami Trail, Naples was ideally sited
to entice passing motorists to stop and have a meal or spend
the night!
When opened in 1961,
the Motor Lodge featured "60 spacious rooms planned for
gracious living, all air-conditioned and heated, private phones,
patios, balconies, inside and outside entrances"--what a
place!

Mike stayed at
the Naples Motor Lodge back in 1972. He said that back then "Naples
was a quiet small town." For him and his family, Howard
Johnson's was always their favorite. Thanks, Mike, for sharing
your terrific photos and memories of HoJo's! |
