The
Flint-East Motor Lodge Complex was set to open in the Spring of
1970. The former Motor Lodge endured a succession of brand affiliations
following the demise of the Famed Orange Roofed chain. It flew
the banners of Travelodge, Econo Lodge, Budget Host, Best Inn,
and perhaps others.
Long
past its glory days the Complex was abandoned by the middle 2010s
and ultimately demolished.

Most
Motor Lodges featured a location kiosk with an Orange phone
used by patrons to make free reservations for the next HoJo's.
|
The
Rapid Reservation Service, as it was dubbed, was innovative
during the 1960s, for in that past era long distance calls
were costly and toll free numbers had not yet become common.
