The Mansard complex offered guests 108 rooms and an indoor all-weather swimming pool. The property made the local news in March of 1979 after a "suspicious" fire broke out in one of the guest rooms causing $10,000 in damage. The site remained a franchised unit until it was decommissioned in 1988.

Subsequently the Motor Lodge became a Ramada Limited but by the middle 2000s called itself a Select Inn. In addition to the Select brand, the former Howard Johnson's became a Fanta Suite location offering a number of unusually "themed" guestrooms.
