Cordele
-- 1706
E 16th Ave (I-75 @ U.S. 280) |
One
in a string of Howard Johnson's locations along I-75 in the Peach
State, Cordele's Motor Lodge and Restaurant complex was opened
during the height of HoJo's middle 1960s expansion.
Cordel's
Motor Lodge is believed to have lost its Howard Johnson's name
in about 1974 while the Restaurant remained under its Orange Roof
until the early 1980s.

The lobby building with several guest rooms facing U.S. 280
was built when the site was converted into a Hampton Inn during
the 1980s. Later the former Motor Lodge became a Best
Western .

Following
its conversion into a BW, the guest wing's parking lot side continued
to wear its Hampton Inn facade while the pool side was little
altered along with the unstuccoed brick at the end of the building.

Early advertisements for Cordele touted its "Astroturf
Putting Green."
