The COVID-19 pandemic has affected how the world works in all sorts of ways, including how and where we travel. These tips will help you navigate the new challenges and prepare you for your flight to Catalina Island: Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing. Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to lower your mask temporarily for identification purposes. Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it. TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag and presented for screening. To minimize handling during screening, place items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of into the bins. If you're planning to take food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.

Didn’t know that early check in required an extra $20 but that was okay I guess. You could hear the water running whenever someone took a shower in another room. You could also hear doors slamming in the hall sometimes. No elevator and there were a lot of flies in the lobby to check in, but other than those things everything was okay. It was in a decent area with a lot of shopping centers and the hotel wasn’t bad for the low price.

Staff was very kind. But. There was no shampoo or conditioner. I called the front desk and they sent someone to fill the containers up. And then the dispensers were broken so I still didn't have any soap for my hair. And then I asked for wash cloths and was told they don't carry wash cloths? And they gave me Two more bath towels. Big bummer

My room was clean and newly remodeled. My bed was comfortable, a little squeaky, Lol but comfortable with nice linens. There were two coffee shops in walking distance both with good food as well as nail salons, restaurants, and other businesses in the neighborhood. And they give you a parking permit to park on the street. That was a God send.
