Somewhere in America, a Howard Johnson Motor Lodge sits untouched.

Behind a chain link fence, down an overgrown driveway, beyond the plywood covered doors, each room is fully furnished and stuck in time. Many of the original midcentury features remain, including the distinct HOJO light fixtures, headboards and wall dividers.

The A-framed Gate Lodge is also still there. The orange roof and blue spire are slightly visible from the road. While passing, you would have to look up at the perfect moment to even catch a glimpse of it. Most people drive right by, having no idea what’s been abandoned back there for the last 40 years.

Welcome to Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge! The one that looks shitty is in York, PA, currently operating as a different motel that tried and failed to paint over the iconic HoJo orange roof. The other three pictures are a rare original Howard Johnson in East Rutherford, NJ, that still operates as a HoJo to this day.
