What are some of the general tips for travelers to Central Coast California during the COVID-19 outbreak?

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about significant changes to how we travel. If you're flying to Central Coast California, the following tips will help you navigate these new challenges and rules: Before committing to anything, see if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Get up-to-date information by reviewing government and airport websites. Wear a face mask during airport screening. A TSA officer will require you to temporarily lower your mask for identification purposes. Rather than handing a TSA employee your boarding pass, position it directly on the scanner yourself. Once that's done, hold it up for inspection. You can now take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning. Empty your personal items from your pockets, like your phone and wallet, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will minimize handling during the screening process. If you're planning to take food through the screening checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for closer inspection.

8.4/10 Very Good! (326 reviews)

Enjoyed our stay here even if it was just for one night. Right off the freeway with lots of convenient stores around. It’s a very small parking lot so be cautious if you have an extra large car. My RAV4 fit fine. Room was just the right size do 2 people with convenient amenities. I wasn’t expecting a cooler fridge in the room so that was a plus. Also really appreciated there was overhead lighting, unlike most hotels where your only lighting is side tables. The room and bathroom seemed updated and clean. The only downside was that we noticed dirty brown stains on the sheets laying on the side of the bed the next morning. Besides that, we enjoyed our stay here and would book again.
