There are many reports of this on various Bulletin Boards. There is really no straight answer to your question. I think its best to lay out the facts and then each person needs to make his/her own (hopefully informed) decision.
This board has plenty of information but also check Trip Advisor, where you will have a ton of information and also first hand reports of how different experiences went.
