Sure, here’s a revised version of your review that keeps the same message but reads a bit more smoothly and professionally: --- I didn’t have high expectations given the price, but this still managed to disappoint. The room was filthy and reeked of cigarette smoke, with burn marks all over the bedspread. After showering, I walked barefoot for just a minute and my feet turned black from the floor. I chose this place because I needed somewhere close to the airport with a shuttle, to sleep and shower before an early morning flight. I checked in around 3 PM, napped on top of the covers because the sheets looked as dirty as the towels, got some work done, showered, and checked out by 10:30 PM—I couldn’t bring myself to stay the night. Honestly, I would’ve been more comfortable sleeping at the airport. The one bright spot was the shuttle driver, Johanna, who was incredibly friendly and helpful.

I use to use this place every 3 months when I traveled from Atlanta for business. However it has gone downhill terribly but the price has increased. That doesn’t make sense. The bath tub and towels were dirty, no more vending machines, laundry has been moved, nosey live in tenants, blankets have burn holes in them, the doors doesn't close tightly...so the outside lights shine through, the floor is sticky. They may have swept them but definitely didn’t moped them and my sink was clogged. No Refrigerator or Microwave...Just a mess
