Also check if there are any conditions you'll have to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining. You're required to wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be ready to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer. Avoid handing your boarding pass 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. One container of liquid hand sanitizer is now permitted in your carry-on bag. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag for screening. Place any personal items (like your phone and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process. Separate any food you have for screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA employee to touch and inspect your belongings.

This was a no-frills, simple hotel. It was a great value, and was clean, quiet, and relaxing. The staff were so kind, and laid back. The view from the patio in our room was lovely. The shared kitchen area was a nice place to cook a meal, and there were three adorable cats around the property who we loved petting. The location was great for exploring various parts of Pico.
