This was my 4th stay at this location & it’s my go to hotel every time I visit SoCal. It was really busy this trip due to the FIFA World Cup so checking in took some time where it normally does not but the staff handled it well. I’ll definitely be back.

  • You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass (electronic or paper) directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up so the agent can inspect it.
  • One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll need to remove it from your bag for X-ray screening.
