Remember the carefree check-in days at hotels? Things have certainly changed in our post-pandemic world of extreme hygiene. Experts recommend that before you book a hotel room, be sure to check for signs that the hotel’s cleaning standards are up to par. Is the hotel following CDC mandates, like installing hand sanitizer dispensers at the entrance and other touch points througout the hotel? Experts say wearing a face mask will help add an extra layer of protection at check-in and in hotel common areas. They also note it’s important to keep your guard up as hotels attract a wide variety of people from different areas that you do not know and who may not be showing symptoms of the coronavirus.
