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

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

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has changed a bit since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try negotiating next time.

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

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