The hotel room was very dirty. They clearly did not clean the room nor change the sheets as there was hair everywhere. When we told the hotel they laughed at us and said it was outsourced. The rooms are a lot smaller than the photos. Stay somewhere else

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Lake Zurich during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way we travel, but it hasn't deterred our eagerness for exploring. Here are a few tips on how to cope with travel's new challenges:
  • Research if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before booking your flight. Also check if there are any special conditions you'll need to follow on arrival, such as mandatory quarantining.
  • You must wear a face mask throughout your travel experience, including at screening checkpoints. Be prepared to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked.
  • Rather than handing a TSA officer your boarding pass, place it straight on the scanner yourself. After that, hold it up for inspection.
  • TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on luggage. This will have to be removed from your bag at the X-ray machine for screening.
  • Put any personal items (e.g, keys, phone 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 put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on makes it less likely that a TSA officer will need to touch and open your bag for inspection.
