By
2008 the property had fallen on hard times. Having lost the Econo
Lodge brand and its Benders Restaurant, the site was foreclosed
upon by its lender. An auction/sale of the property was ordered,
but In poor condition the former Howard Johnson's complex had no
takers and became vacant. As 2009 came to end the distressed former
HoJo's was listed for sale at a price of $875,000.
