LOL It looks like it hasn't changed. Reminds me of {and is run by the same company} Yosemites' lodging. And, I won't be going in the water. Ooo, that is something I should see, if they have a pool. If they don't then I guess it is the Portola Plaza. We have our son and the pool is a major source of entertainment.

We've been a lot but I also appreciate these comments. We always come down from San Francisco and the 1 {and 101} are beautiful but they take soooo long. We don't have the leisure of a lot of time these days.
I wondered what the difference was between the two choices.

So, taking the 101 {1} may be faster in some instances due to traffic?
