Great hotel. Rooms are small for the price but very well laid out and comfortable. We stayed in much larger rooms in other hotels on our trip that were far less enjoyable! I have no difficulty recommending this hotel to other travellers.

  • Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to adjust your mask for identification purposes.
  • You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, you should place the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
  • You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on baggage. This will need to be removed for X-ray scanning.
  • To reduce handling during screening, put items such as your belt, phone and wallet into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
  • Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to open your bag for inspection.
