To each their own, because to me, the extra $20 a night was so worth it to be a minute drive from the park. Being used to eastern time, it was like finishing at 12a the first night, and 1a the second. I was not awake enough to drive for 40 minutes following. Plus, it's roughly 40 miles each way, 80 miles a day. Nearly 3 gallons of gas, it adds up.
