Visited Photo Gallery for 7 days. Enjoyable experience. Scene is quieter but worthwhile. Pricing up slightly.
Spent $89/day. Best part: friendliness.
Overall: 8/10. Exceeded expectations.
AMA.

Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

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

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.
