Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge and Restaurant Barstow,CA
Former Howard Johnson's Motor Lodge and Restaurant located at 1431 East Main St. in Barstow,CA. The motor lodge is currently branded under the name California Inn. The restaurant is currently occupied by an IHOP. The exterior of the (former) HJ restaurant is still rather intact aside from the inevitable removal of the cupola and blue paint covering the once orange roof. The motor lodge was rebranded as a Comfort Inn likely around 1995 and at that time if not before the gate lodge was demolished and replaced with a nondescript building. The massive California Inn sign along East Main St. is a holdover from HJ.
