Newton
was the fourth Howard Johnson's to feature a Motor Lodge,
Restaurant, and Red Coach Grill. In addition to the upscale
Red Coach the site also boasted a Talley Ho Lounge.
The
property was the largest for the famed Dunfey Family which
owned eleven other hotels when Newton was opened.

|
|
| |
| |
Eventually
the Dunfey Family sold out to Aer Lingus--the Dunfey Hotel
Corp. had become a wholly owned subsidiary of the airline.
In 1986 The Flatley Company purchased six of the Dunfey
hotels including Newton. |
