Nearly
bypassed after I-81 was completed, the Bristol complex fortunately
was located not too far from an exit which ensured its longevity.
Happily during its twilight as a HoJo's in the 1980s, my dad consented
to an overnight and breakfast--it was quite a treat even near
its end ... |

†Bristol
was listed in Howard Johnson's directories from 1961 to 1987,
and then again from 1992 until 1995. During the five years that
it was not listed in directories, it's Restaurant remained a Howard
Johnson's, but the Motor Lodge was called simply the Bristol Motor
Lodge. Subsequently it has worn both the Scottish
Inn and Red Carpet Inn brand names. |
