This location was a Howard Johnson's from 1974 until about 1992. An "upscale" 186 room four-story property, the complex featured a restaurant called the Rib Room in addition to its traditional Howard Johnson's coffee shop. Apparently there was never an Orange Roofed Mansard, but since no vintage views have become available its original facade is not known. During the early 1990s the Motor Lodge was converted into a Holiday Inn. - (http://www.highwayhost.org/Virginia/Richmond/richmondarea.html#Richmond)
Now it is a Quality Inn Central and Clarion Hotel mash-up in which the Clarion portion seems to be a bit seedier (you have been warned), so daylight visits are suggested.
