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

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.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

I was there in January and prices were great value.
Spent about $147/day all-in. Quality was excellent.
My tip: avoid weekends.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are about the same than what's described here.
