The
Augusta Motor Lodge was opened in 1959 and its adjacent Restaurant
probably began operating a few years earlier. The complex was
located along the highway to Fort
Gordon
but was one of the closest motels to Augusta's business district
and shared a property boundary with Augusta's
Alamo Plaza.
The
Howard Johnson Motor Lodge was exceptionally long-lived with a
brief lapse from its listing in directories from 1990-1991, but
it returned to the fold and remained until the middle 2000s. Subsequently
it became the independent Executive Inn & Suites, and more
recently, while retaining the Executive moniker, the former HoJo's
has been given new life as a part of the Metropolis
Complex
(which includes the former Alamo
Plaza).

A
convenience store came to operate at the site of where the Restaurant
had been. More recently the Raceway was rebranded as a Citco. |

| Well
known for its "olympic-size" swimming pool, owners of
the property near the end of its HoJo's days improperly drained
the pool which resulted in its buckling up out of the ground! Following
the site's purchase by the owners of the Metropolis
Complex,
a new pool area was installed along with a refurbishment of the
Capri Lounge. |
