The
New Orleans-Downtown Motor Lodge featured both a full service Restaurant
and Ice Cream Parlor. While the Restaurant may have originally been
called a Howard Johnson's it was referred to in advertisements as
the John James Audubon Room. Located to the left of the lobby at
ground level, the restaurant was decorated in rich wood tones, and
large Audubon prints graced the walls. The Ice Cream Parlor was
immediately behind the registration desk. Amazingly both facilities
were still in the Motor Lodge in 1992 just before it was converted. |

Even
in the Big Easy, Howard Johnson's touted its family friendly
atmosphere. |

Although
the Motor Lodge was largely standardized, it featured some
unusually appointed rooms.
The
Brochure boasted:
The Elegant Suites
are spacious and interestingly different, with contemporary
or traditional motifs in furnishings, drapery and art. Color
tones give restful harmony.

Comfortable
Bedrooms have custom made mattresses for sound
sleep. The color TV set has bedside control. Every room
is so large that there is a sitting room area, with table
for family snacks or fun, or helpful work space for the
business man. |

Meeting

for executive groups of 20 to 200. All are equipped to use audio-visual
equipment and presentation facilities. |
