Based on this
Road Conditions (ca.gov)
It looks like Hwy 1 is closed 2.5 miles south of VBS for about 45 miles. Getting to VBS from the north should be fine.

like flight at 7am early. It seems like you can do the "late night" dining with sort of the pre-packaged items would be the option here.or maybe just get something extra the day before at breakfast that might not go too bad and have them box it for you and take it to your room to eat the next day?

I would just checkout the night before and go stay closer to the airport.

Recently booked 3 award nights for late-Oct 2022. Curious how the weather has been here lately? Is outdoor dining and the pool still comfortable in late-Oct? Thanks.

Here now and the weather has been perfect. Hot enough to lay out and swim during the day, cool enough for the hot tub and s’mores at night.

Perfect. Thanks for the replies! I assume al fresco dining at The Sur House is still no issue?

We are here right now too. We dined outside the past couple of nights, including tonight, and they had the heaters on and the gas “fireplaces” on. We were both comfortable and are Californians (so get chilly easier than most folks). The outside dining was packed tonight, as it seems a fair amount of people just arrived today.

Hi
I wanted to book the 30K points room in 2022, but unable to find any 2 consecutive days. Has anything seen any 30K points standard room availability in 2022 at all? I searched day by day from Jan-Nov and only saw 2 or 3 30K points standard room on non consecutive days. Did the hotel lock all 30K points standard room? or are all the 30K points room all booked for the entire year in 2022 (is that possible)?
If I wanted to use suite upgrade certificate and 48K points room is available, can I ask my concierge or the hotel to book the 48K points room and pay only 30K points? Or does the 30K points standard room need to be available to book first then apply the suite upgrade certificate?
Thanks!

I am staying here right now for 3 nights on a prior 30k in points reservation for the weekend and got upgraded to the Pacific House Suite with no suite upgrade request. It is packed this weekend. I have stayed here previously and been upgraded to the Spa Suite and others, but your experience may vary.
