Jolly Inn

Don’t let the name mislead you. This place is so far from Jolly, it would make Santa Claus cry. If you want disease ridden rooms, dirty mattresses, sludgy pools, and sketchy neighbors, this is the inn for you. The shower and sink water was the most delightful shade of brown. Almost like a warm caramel. Water pressure in the shower was so low it drizzled out and flowed down the shower head and down the wall. It looked like the chocolate waterfall from Wonka’s Factory. Not to mention the pleasant experience of waking up with a dead roach on your foot. Lord only knows how long that was there. One can what had passed through those halls. If you can even call them that. The outside was just as disgusting as the inside. Cigarette buds and garbage were thrown all over the place. This inn is almost as trashy as its clientele. The customers consisted of scary looking folks who looked more guilty and paranoid than words can describe. I would not recommend this hotel to my worst enemy. Hell is a place on earth at the «Jolly» Inn.

Four stars because:
1. $ 40 a night with tax.
2. Recently redecorated in Indian style. Nicely done and refreshing compared to Days Inn, etc. Mattresses, etc., noted in other review were result of renovating. Our mattress was brand new.
3. Friendly, helpful staff.
4. They’ve made flower and vegetable gardens on the street ends of the two buildings.

Perfect if you want drugs, disease and crime. Hookers and crack is everywhere. The giant pile of stained mattresses out back screams comfort. Sometimes you can hear gunshots at night. The pool is brownish green. and there is only enough water/​sludge in the bottom to cover the garbage underneath. You couldn’t pay me to stay in this total shithole.

I don’t like driving at night. It’s kinda creepy because I have a car right now that can be a little rickety at times. So I checked around for an easy and cheap place to stay for the night and I saw a huge neon sign that read, «olly Inn» since once of the letters was out.
That didn’t concern me since the rest of it said, «35.99 a night»
That’s what I’m lookin for. I’m not vacationing here, I just wanna sleep and go. Oh, and I wanted wireless so I can check my stuff since my Metro PCS doesn’t work round these here parts. Yeehaawww.
It was easy to check in. The man doing the checking in was a little, I dunno, not creepy but I suppose he could be to some people. No smile (that costs money and $ 35 doesn’t cut it, bub!) and not really any emotion at all.
But he jotted down the password to the wifi, gave me keys and a remote for the tv, and off I went.
The room is pretty decent, the king-​sized bed was as hard as a rock but comfortable. There’s an iron and ironing board and fridge and microwave and though this reminds me of some place that 70’s drug dealers would make their deals or hide out for a day, I was satisfied with the room.
The wireless works great which, believe me, is fantastic because so many places say they have wireless but it is a problem to actually get it in your room.
Here it worked.
That’s a plus. So look. If you’re on the road to Florida or back and you just wanna get that place for the night, without worrying about whether the bathtub works (this one doesn’t, the plug is broke) or you don’t care if the paint on the walls looks a little shoddy, you just want that good cheap place to stay for the night.
This is that place. I would actually maybe stay here again if I was just passing through.
