We just stayed in a pirate room at the beginning of March and found it very convenient to walk over to the Skyliner. We also were impressed with the the little area of conveniences right nearby: a bus stop, laundromat, local pool, and especially the Spyglass Grill, which we found to be surprisingly good. Also note there is a Joffrey's Coffee just outside the Skyliner as you cross over the bridge, so you can get your morning caffeine to enjoy on the "flight"!
