 Kokomo, Indiana
2808 Lincoln Rd

 

 Like several other Indiana complexes, Kokomo opened in 1963. Unfortunately it was apparently converted into a Motel 6. At least I believe that minimal parts of the original buildings are used, but it is difficult to tell from these photos exactly what remains. Motel 6 conversions tend to destroy the best parts of the former Howard Johnson's. Moreover, after having stayed at a Chicago area Sofotel, I have a bias against all Accor brands.
