This is a MOTEL directly off the interstate. It's not fancy, clean, or exceptionally safe. It's a novelty rest stop when you're on a road trip with your partner. If you take that into consideration, you will have a great experience.

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Southwest during the COVID-19 outbreak?
In the face of the COVID-19 outbreak, travelling now comes with a few more challenges. Take a look at these handy tips before jumping on your plane to Southwest:
  • Before you book a flight, check if any travel restrictions apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by reviewing official government websites.
  • Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to lower your mask for ID verification when asked by a TSA officer.
  • Rather than handing a TSA agent your boarding pass, place it directly on the reader yourself. Then, hold it up for inspection.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on baggage. It must be no bigger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for scanning.
  • To reduce handling during screening, place personal items such as your phone and loose change into your carry-on instead of into the bins.
  • Separate any food you have for 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 touch and inspect your belongings.
