Best time of year to visit Border Towns?

Has anyone been to Border Towns recently? Looking for the latest intel.

Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Best hotels near the scene

I was there in 2024 and had a great time. Wondering if things have changed.

Any recent trip reports would be helpful.

Cheers

Nice report. Heading there next month — exactly the intel I needed.
