& Below: At some point a new facade was created
for the guest building that faced U.S. 40, and the remodel created
an interior corridor for the single room deep building. |

Unlike the guest building fronting the property the one in the
rear retained exterior entry to its rooms and more or less maintained
its original look.
Below:
Unfortunately Cendant's minions mandated the garish stucco and
embellishments that marred buildings facing the street--but it
could have been much worse! |

At
least poolside the guest buildings for the most part retained
their good looks. Note that the "heavy" roof unique
to the location may have been original and dates at least back
to the 1980s while the property was still a HoJo's. |

At least by Bob's visit, Cendant's mandates had
not destroyed the appealing character of Washington's
guest rooms. Note the wonderfully original unpainted
exposed beams in the second floor room! |

One of the guest buildings was added in the late
1960s and featured an interior corridor which
retained its exposed beams and "hay"
ceiling as recently as the 2000s. |
