 Erlanger, Kentucky (Cincinnati-Airport)
630 Donaldson Rd

 

Unusually set lower than the roadway, Erlanger's Howard Johnson's was located to serve the Greater Cincinnati Airport. It was built in about 1974 at an exit of I-75 & 71 near where Cincinnati's loop, I-275, was proposed to be constructed.

Oh well, I suppose that this former Motor Lodge doesn't look too bad as a Comfort Inn, but all the stucco and Taj Mahal-esque adornments tacked on to old HoJo's are unnecessary and conceal the true beauty and genius of Howard Johnson's architects and designers.
