Near Baltimore-Washington Airport, the Howard Johnson's-Friendship Airport opened in 1974 as Maryland's LAST Howard Johnson's complex. The 7-story 130 room property featured a modern in-the-building lobby and Restaurant. By 2005 the site was operated as a Ramada and had unfortunately suffered from a drab 2001 renovation (The Ramada's website in 2005: 1). Phil Edwards noted that the hotel was very difficult to access by car.
