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

I'd rate it similarly. Solid 8/10 destination.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

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

Spot on with the prices. That matches what I paid in February.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at bars?
