Park, NJ |
| AKA
Neptune |
| --
706 SR 35 S |
Neptune's
circa 1941 Colonial style Restaurant was joined by an adjacent
space-age modern Motor Lodge in 1964. The 60 room Motor
Lodge featured all of Howard Johnson's classic mid-'60s
amenities.
While
no trace of the Restaurant apparently remains, the Motor
Lodge ceased being a HoJo's in about 1995 and was renamed
the Crystal
Inn .

The
Neptune Motor Lodge became the last current or former Howard Johnson's
in the Garden State to maintain a finned Spire-Cupola topped with
a Lamplighter Weathervane! Note that by 2010 the original porcelain
enamel roof tiles had been replaced on the Gate Lodge. Nontheless,
It is perhaps the last best example of a Howard Johnson's classic
A-frame Gate Lodge in New Jersey. |
