"Day's Inn has had something of a refurbishment since the last time I really spent time around here around 2020. Bathroom hardware seems much newer, the old carpets were gone in favor of clean wood floors, and the electrical sockets and lamps are in fine shape. Service was good as it has normally been, and I'm not sure if the walls have been better soundproofed or the other guests were just behaving themselves. Overall it's gone up a bit in quality."
