Like the other standardized Motor Lodges that were opened in the late 1950s and early 1960s, New Stanton's was built without guest room sliders. The design employed a patio or balcony door and a floor to ceiling picture window. Not long after the Lodge and its contemporaries were built, the Howard Johnson Company's architects and designers introduced sliders as a way to provide a more open feeling for guest rooms, yet continue to allow use of balconies and patios.

Above & Below: between 2003 and 2007 ownership of New Stanton was transferred and its new owners converted several guest rooms in the single story building into their living quarters.

After one of HFS/Cendant's edicts the balcony dividers were removed in the 1990s, but the adulteration made for awkward use of the balconies should guests in adjoining rooms not be on intimate terms.

Above & Below: Added after the Motor Lodge was opened, the last guest building was a more modern interior corridor design with sliders.
