"Plans announced in 1977 indicated that a Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge was to be opened in San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf area. However the four story 128 room Lodge was not ready for guests until early in 1979.

Certainly by end of the '70s, the Howard Johnson Company should have figured out that properties with in-city locations were not Motor Lodges and should have called them hotels or better yet, they should have coined some new, distinctive, and unique name for them. According to directories Fisherman's Wharf retained the Howard Johnson brand until the middle 1990s." (visit link)
