July 1969 blurb
 
Niagara Falls-East, New York -- 6505 Pine Ave
 

Complementing the Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge and Restaurant located AT Niagara Falls, the East complex was opened in stages during 1968-69 at the site of original motor cabins which had served tourists on their way to the Falls. The Motor Lodge's original licensee operators were Dick Stein and Frank Turgeon.

2019 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the former Motor Lodge! It lasted as a Howard Johnson's for nearly 45 years before becoming an America's Best Inn.

The Howard Johnson's Restaurant at the "East" complex was opened prior to the Motor Lodge which was common practice for the Company during the halcyon years!
