Gold
Rock , North Carolina --
7568 NC Highway 48 |
| |
Also
known as Rocky Mount or Battleboro, Gold Rock was the last authentic
Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge complex built and opened in the Tar
Heel State. It began serving Hungry and Sleepy Americans near
the end of HoJo's reign of roadside hospitality greatness--in
late 1979. The 87 room property featured a connected Mansard Lobby
and Restaurant.
Remarkably
the property retained its Orange Mansard and Howard Johnson brand
into the 2000s. |
