It was only for one night, so it was a nice stay. Staff at reception were great. Only isssue I had, is the two beds rolled together. Especially as this time one mattress was higher than the other.

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Northern Rivers during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 pandemic may have changed the way we travel, but it hasn't put the brakes on our zeal for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to tackle the new challenges of travelling:
  • Before booking your flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government and travel websites.
  • Requirements state that you must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at security checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask to verify your identity when asked by a TSA officer.
  • You're no longer required to hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee. Rather, you should position the pass on the scanner and then hold it up for the agent to visually inspect it.
  • You're permitted to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. This will need to be removed for screening.
  • Put any personal items (phone, wallet and keys) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during screening.
  • Separate any food you have for X-ray screening. Food items often set off the alarm. Placing them in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.
