[QUOTE=ThePerson]Hey Guys,
I'm trying to plan a trip to TJ, its been about 1.5 years and I have been dying to go back. I'm having a hard time finding a hotel to book close to the border. I prefer to stay at a cheap dive, on the border or on the Mexico side, doesn't matter to me, just whatever is cheap and somewhat clean (no cum "visible to the naked eye" stains) on the sheets. Anyone have any suggestions. I was trying to do it online so I can do the combo thing and save a little.[/QUOTE]
I would suggest the Hotel Hacienda de Santiago, which is right across from La Tropa Bar. It costs about $43 per night for a very nice room (including a kitchenette). Very clean and new and it comes highly recommended from myself and other mongers on this forum. Chica friendly, and you are a 1 minute (safe) walk from the zone. Noisy at night, but that is standard for TJ. Could also try the Nelson, which is at Primera and Revolucion (right by the arch) - runs you about $55, and is alos chica friendly. I personally feel Santiago is nicer and better value.
Remember to pay for a double room if you want to bring a girl back
