I have paid more than expected. I thought the total fee was $420 when I paid online, however they charged me more than $500. The parking is horrible; it costs $73, which is unreasonable. I will not book this hotel in the future. I know it is downtown, but unreasonable.

What are some of the general tips for travelers to Northern California during the COVID-19 outbreak?
If it's your first time traveling during the COVID-19 outbreak, you'll notice a range of new regulations and rules in place. Take note of these tips and make your trip to Northern California go off without a hitch:
  • Investigate if any travel restrictions apply to your origin and destination before locking in your flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing.
  • When you pass through airport checkpoints, keep your face mask on. You will be asked to briefly lower it for identification purposes. Passengers who refuse to wear a face mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the terminal.
  • To avoid cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee.
  • 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 to be screened.
  • Put any personal items (keys, wallet and phone) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during screening.
  • Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA agent will need to open your bag for inspection.
