By 2004 this former Motor Lodge had become one of Cendant's Ramada Inns. Unfortunately the once highly touted upscale Restaurant appears to have been demolished and the Motor Lodge looks like a stucco palace.

The Newark Airport location was opened in the Summer of 1970 during a time when the Howard Johnson Company was rapidly building "better" properties near airports. Newark's complex also featured a relatively late Nims-type Restaurant.
