Property Background Built in 1964 and 1947 as two separate properties, Roadrunner Lodge comprises the former Leatherwood Manor (1964, east side) and La Plaza Court (1947, west side) properties. In 1985, the properties were joined together and share a common ~492 square foot lobby and ~1476 square foot living quarters. The property has operated as Comfort Inn and America's Best Value Inn in the past but will require a PIP to meet current flag standards. Total property under roof is ~13,747 sq. ft. Only the 1964 section, commercial laundry, and lobby of the older buildings on the property are powered. 24 of the 30 rooms (~5,866 square feet) on the east side of the property are renovated and in service. 28 of the rooms feature Friedrich 7,000 BTU PTACs installed in 2017. In 2014, the east side received a new roof and electric service. In 2017, electrical upgrades were completed. Adjacent land was acquired and in 2022 a 30x32 steel building was built on it. It is partitioned into two 16x30 spaces. One side is for maintenance storage (currently in two former guest rooms) and the other side will replace and improve the onsite laundry facilities.

La Plaza Court The listed sales price considers no cash value from the building on the west side of the block. This portion of the property conveys as-is. Originally built ~1947 as La Plaza Court, it has a TPO roof installed in 2021. It does not have electric or plumbing service except a portion of the shared lobby and one former garage currently used as the property’s commercial laundry facility. There is potential for a second living quarters on this side of the property or make it into two guest rooms for a total of 14 rooms on the La Plaza side of the property. La Plaza Court needs extensive renovation before occupancy is possible. Renovating the 1947 property into a different use case such as small retail, gallery space, student housing, or other may be desirable. All rooms need new doors and locks, plumbing, electrical, flooring, drywall repair, HVAC, etc. The former La Plaza Court has historical significance as it is listed on the National Park Service’s list of "Route 66 Properties Listed in Black Traveler Guidebooks".
