The Greensboro-North HoJo's opened in the fall of 1970. Featuring a classic highway Motor Lodge layout, the 136 guest unit remained intact until the early 2000s--complete with its abbreviated Howard Johnson name on the Lodge.

By 2002 its Gate Lodge had been squared off, but still retained its gleaming Orange Roof. While the property still waved the 1985 to 1996 logo on its sign, not long after my visit it was removed. Moreover the site completely lost the Howard Johnson name and subsequently brand hopped. It was apparently a Days Inn, and then an even more lowly Knights Inn.
