I was there in February and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $135/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

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

Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

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

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

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