I was there in March and prices were exactly as described.
Spent about $82/day all-in. Quality was good.
My tip: avoid weekends.

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

Not sure I agree about that area. I found downtown to be better value.

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