Posts: 1185Good Short Stay Hotels? Can't use LA MANSION anymore
I've been using La Mansion as my go to place as they have mostly been reliable, available, somewhat cheap and have clean kept rooms. But lately they are taking "short term" literally as they are only letting me use one of their rooms for 4 hours on weekends. Not too long ago, I remember getting there early morning on a weekend and being allowed to stay until 8 pm. That was like 12 hours. Then it went down to about 5 pm, and now they are strictly enforcing use of their rooms for 4 hours only and the clock starts the moment they charge me because once the time is up, there's already someone literally knocking on my door. This is a real let down as I would count on them for use of a nice room for a good amount of time. And when I mention that they used to allow longer they just say they can't because it's the weekend.
What other hotels are there that don't enforce this greedy rule and still have decent rooms for a fair price at a minimum 6 hours or more?
Also, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question. Move this post to the necessary location if needed. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

Posts: 6Question about OTC Dates.
Hey guys,
I'm going to be meeting a former AB bar girl (she currently isn't working at any club) this upcoming Monday and I was kind of wondering what the protocol is. Naturally, I'll pay for whatever food / entertainment we do. BTW, any ideas for that? I was thinking of a movie at plaza Rio and then let her pick a place close by to eat. Anyways, what should I do after that? Should I book a regular hotel room or just head with her to one of the love motels for the night? How much should I pay her for her services? Also, how bad is la linea on Tuesday mornings? I always leave around 3 AM to avoid the lines but I'm not sure if I might want to just sleep until morning. Thanks.

When something in Tijuana is shown at a cost only in one currency, with no posted exchange rate, I would rather test the merchant with an actual transaction. I find that more desirable than asking a clerk for their exchange rate. That's for small items, as I previously said.
Of course, you have to be disingenuous when trying to make points in a discussion, in this case by bringing in an example of a car purchase.
My guess is that you get lots of irritated looks by experienced vendors, who know to show them to other customers, but behind your back.

I constantly read about mongers leaving Tijuana and trying to not bring pesos back into the United States. We know what the dollar price for Cazadores is at the duty free store thanks to StRoberts reporting ($15) as opposed to stores in the US. I've never been inside that duty free at the border, despite passing by it scores of times. I don't know if they post their current exchange rate or not. I often make small purchases in Tijuana stores to find out exchange rates, rather than just be an annoying hyper-questioning tourist.
Maybe its just my observation of Tijuana vendors, but I've seen them look at act annoyed by questioning tourists who have no intention of buying anything. Maybe you've never noticed.

Posts: 2420Newbies.
Newbies should keep it as simple as possible even if one has to pay a couple of dollars more. I would use dollars only. I would stay at one of the hotels right in the middle of the red light district. I would eat in a sit down restaurant in the red light district. I would leave all contraband in the USA (guns, drugs). I would not drink excessively because I know that my waiter, chica, and local police would line up to steal my money if I was drunk. I would use Uber / taxi for transportation. I would avoid walking as much as I can especially in the dark. I would avoid all locals that speak perfect English (desperate deportees that can't find a job). I would screw only bar chicas only at the main clubs like Hong Kong, Adelitas, Chicago, Chubelas, Tropical. I would never follow anyone anywhere because they seem like nice people. And lastly l, I would avoid the waiters.

Posts: 64San Ysidro border crossing
Came back to Tijuana after 5 years.
Waiting in Marriott Hotel for Angie from MusasTJ.
I have a flight to catch from San Diego tomorrow afternoon at 1 pm.
Any suggestions on what time I should head over to San ysidro border pedestrian line?
5 years ago it used to be an hour max in normal pedestrian line.
But with current immigration issues in US, I need advise.
Report of Angie to follow in a couple of days.

The Ibis isn't even open for business for another week. I've seen the pix and the prices. The rooms are new, but seem incredibly small. The price is an indication. I see between $40 and $50 per night. That is at the low end of the spectrum of Tijuana hotels. For your first time, I'd get a room at Ticuan. It'll cost you double, but it will probably be worth it.
