Late in the game, the company acquired the Roadway Inn at O'Hare and spent 2.5 million refurbishing the 254 room property in order to rebrand it as a Howard Johnson's. Thus it was not a standardized HJ and would not have measured up! Later it operated as a Ramada Plaza and then became a Holiday Inn (www.hiohare.com).
