A Jelly Roll Hotel Hack

Jelly Roll toured for years before he got famous.  So, when Hotels.com asked him to sit down and talk about all of the different hotel experiences he’s had over the years, he felt more than qualified.

And he shared two hacks that are pretty clever.  But, the first one he did when he wasn’t even a guest of the hotel.

Jelly said, “We were so broke that we would sleep in our van outside of like a Hampton Inn . . . and then when they did the continental breakfast in the morning, we’d wake up and walk in there, and we’d just walk by the desk and lie.”

He would say, “Like, ‘Alright man, I’ll see you in the room in a second.  I’m going to go grab a muffin.’  And then we’d all just rush into the continental breakfast and eat.”

That’s brilliant . . . and probably a misdemeanor.  But the next one is totally legal.

Jelly said, “If you ever come into a hotel late at night, and the late-night desk person is there.  That’s the person to ask for the late checkout.  I’m telling you.  They will put it in right there.  It’s never failed.”

And, knowing how late Jelly has probably rolled into some of these hotel rooms, you know he needs that extra hour of sleep.  (Hotels.com)
