An
early Eastern U.S. Mansard-type, the Delaware Water Gap complex
was opened in about 1971. Featuring an integrated Restaurant, the
property was arranged in a 'U' with two guest buildings and both
an indoor and outdoor pool.

A
stop for the traveling Nauman brothers, Delaware Water Gap had
been converted into a Ramada Inn yet still wore its Orange Roof
tiles. Marcus Nauman recalled that the restaurant was still a
Howard Johnson's when he and his brother visited the site back
in 1992! |

Having
maintained the Ramada brand until the middle 2000s, Delaware Water
Gap went independent. Calling itself the Pocono Inn, flood waters
inundated the property in 2006. For a period of time its owners
kept the second floor open to guests whilst they attempted to
renovate the first. However customers and funding soon ran out
causing the former HoJo's to be shuttered--an uncertain fate awaits
the former Howard Johnson's... |
