With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found the outskirts to be better value.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: better quality overall.

Quick question — how was the hotel security?

I was there in February and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $84/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.
