Squared off and decapitated during the 1990s, the Warrenton Gate Lodge was stuccoed and received button lights, but at least it was allowed to keep it gleaming Orange Roof. A small Motor Lodge, Warrenton only featured 56 guest rooms until a non-standard addition was added in the 1990s which brought the total to about 100 rooms. Unfortunately the original guest building section was unnecessarily stuccoed in 2000 rendering the exterior overly embellished and less than appealing. Nonetheless Warrenton is among the last of its kind and worthy of note.
