Located near the intersection of two main roadways into the Newport area, the Newport- Middletown Motor Lodge opened in 1969 with two guest buildings. Moreover it featured an all-weather heated indoor swimming pool.

The complex was situated on high ground with a gentle slope that is not clearly evident in the aerial postcard views. Arriving to the area via Rt 138, the motorist is greeted with a view of the sprawling property and its gleaming Orange Roofed Gate Lodge long before he actually reaches it!
