Clean Room, a bit noisy, but not too much. The restaurant and bar are lovely, and Ivan, the bartender, remembered me from two years ago! The hotel could use a refreshing, but I love the vintage vibe! Will definitely stay here again!

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Italian Riviera during the COVID-19 outbreak?
COVID-19 has changed how we travel, but it hasn't halted our passion for exploring. Here are some tips on how to deal with travel's new challenges:
  • Before locking in your flight, see if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government travel advisories.
  • You're required to wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to lower your mask for ID purposes when asked by a TSA officer.
  • To decrease the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA employee.
  • TSA is now allowing 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 for scanning.
  • Place any personal items (phone, keys and wallet) in your carry-on rather than a bin to reduce handling during the screening process.
  • Transport all food items in a clear plastic bag and also place them in a screening bin. Keeping food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA employee will need to open and touch your bag for inspection.
