Bear Creek Inn (Houston, Texas)

Picture by John Williams, April 2009.
Much like the Copperfield McDonald's this is another picture from John Williams of Vintage West Houston, the Bear Creek Inn at 4204 Highway 6 North. He says this used to be a Travelodge, which old archives do confirm, but I'm not sure when it switched it over. It was Bear Creek Inn even as of 2008 but that leaves a lot of ambiguity as to when it changed over. (The old West Houston Archives webpage implied was more recent.)1 During Hurricane Harvey (I'm guessing), the main sign was blown out but it continues to operate.

1. "this motor lodge used to be Travelodge, which was built over 30 years ago. It is now the Bear Creek Inn [as seen] in this April 2009 photo"
Another photo of the premises (taken from a car).
