Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try going midweek next time.

Not sure I agree about that area. I found a different part to be better value.

I was there in March and prices were great value.
Spent about $90/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

I was there in January and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $135/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the pandemic. Current prices are higher than what's described here.
