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.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $138/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.
