This is outdated info IMO.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

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

I was there in March and prices were slightly higher.
Spent about $71/day all-in. Quality was above average.
My tip: the late night crowd is different.

Interesting take but I think you overpaid. Try using a different site next time.

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