I agree with fastcars. It's a Days Inn, not a Ramada or a Fairmont. Not even a Howard Johnson or a Hilton. Days Inn is right at the bottom of the pool as far as hotel quality goes. They didn't really have much to work with unless they demolished the old property and built new, either.
I do admit they *could* have used better materials for the exterior, but it certainly wouldn't have been cost effective considering the low profits this place will most likely generate. It doesn't really have many rooms, and I'm sure the rates are incredibly low. Given the fact that it's also on Main St., and nearly every other property around it also looks like complete shite, there's not much encouragement to do so. I'm much more happy seeing a hotel with an ugly metal siding instead of an abandoned Ford dealership or even worse, an empty gravel lot.
