Tourinns Motel was a suburban motel located in Kuhnsville, Pennsylvania. It was located at 5801 West Tilghman Street, at the intersection of Blue Barn Road.
The motel was one of a cluster of motels and restaurant built in Kuhnsville during the 1950s to accommodate travelers on US 22 (Now PA 1022). before the Lehigh Valley thruway was built.
It opened in February 1950 as part of the Interstate Company chain of motels along intercity US highways. The construction of the Lehigh Valley Thruway in the mid-1950s cut into its business substantially, however. In 1960, the motel was purchased by local interests when the Interstate chain folded. It was subsequently renamed the Tourist Inn.
The motel offered a large restaurant along with a bar service. To go orders were also provided to give guests meals to take along with them on their car trips. It also offered a country buffet as well as holiday meals as a local restaurant.
The Tourist Inn closed about 1987 . It was later torn down and replaced by a CVS drug Store and a Dunkin Doughnuts
