 New Orleans-Airport, Louisiana -- 6401 Veterans Blvd
AKA West
 

Usually billed as an airport property, the site is actually more than five miles from the New Orleans airport. With seven floors, some 230 guest rooms, and in-the-building lobby, the exceptionally modern facility opened in the winter of 1971.

The Motor Lodge was a Howard Johnson's until 1991 and was then converted into a Holiday Inn. By the early 2000s the property was converted again becoming a Four Points by Sheraton.
