The K tower is a great place to stay. Have stayed there and have stayed in one of the rooms in the Lucerna complex. Very good service. Lot of people speak English. The morning breakfast was fantastic. Not a place for those looking to pinch pennys but affordable for what one is getting. I do suggest leaving the car there and getting taxi. When I would come back there was usually difficultly getting my car parked. To their credit they figured out how to get cars parked for people staying there but sometimes it was not easy.

Do not know how they are about hookers in general. I had my girl there. She was actually on her better behavior in terms of what she was wearing. Did not try bringing another girl there during my stay.

If it had to be in Tijuana, I think K Tower would be nicest, but $5 K for the month wouldn't do it and IIRC they don't like hookers traipsing through the place. The Lucerna could be done for $5 K, probably same hooker rules apply. I'd stay in either one. They're both nice.

For those who've never been, K Tower is a luxury property "within" the Lucerna complex.

Yeah K Tower looks great but even out of my price league. I am looking into Palacio Azteca or The Pueblo Amigo. Maybe visit IBIS Zona Rio for a look.

Palacio Azteca is not really what I'd consider luxury. It's fairly basic. I've stayed there several times and have no real problems with it. It's like an upscale Motel 6. IBIS rooms are pretty dinky. They're more of a trendy "business" hotel. I've not stayed in the one in Tijuana but I've stayed in IBIS in other countries.

I was in old Zona Norte earlier this week and noticed something new. It had been a cool two months since I had been there, so I don't know if it had been there for a while and I simply didn't notice.

On the North East intersection of Primera and Constitucion, they've demolished the sidewalk and looks like they're demolishing or renovating the space there. There's advertisement of Hotel Cascadas / Rizo de Oro (same business entity that owns Hong Kong and Tropical Bar).

Anybody know if they're expanding? If so, they're becoming a juggernaut of Zona Norte. I've attached pics of before and what I saw earlier this week.

At some point coming up soon I might want to rent a hotel room for a month at a nice hotel. To be honest I have used the same place for years. Now with Tijuana having so many options I thought maybe stay in one with a pool that allows escorts. Looking for a luxury stay.

Maybe a Marriot or Pueblo Amigo?

Which one would you stay at for a month a time?

I could go from $3 to $5 K for the month.

Have any of you asked for extended stay prices at the Ticuan?

There is a railroad project connecting Mexicali, Tecate, Tijuana, Rosarito and Ensenada. Another project is the extension of the trolley line from San Ysidro to Av. Revolucion. They have already started work on this trolley extension project (cost estimate).

It will be interesting to see if any of these train projects come to life. When I lived in Tijuana they were promoting the train to Tecate on the weekends, thought of doing it but some weekends it would run then it wouldn't so we never had the chance to try it. If they can get something to go thru Valle de Guadalupe that visits the wineries would be a great tourist experience. They have something like that in Guadalajara that goes to Tequila.

Enjoy with your GFs (ST, LT whatever)!

For me and others including a regular who spends more than I do touching is a must. I hope people talking about the touching girls do not like but guys try to force on the girls.

Something else I thought about why street girls do not work in clubs is some girls do not like drinking that much. Had a girl refuse a drink because she did not want alcohol July 4. In June I was buying a girl water for same price as this girl was at end of her shift and did not want more alcohol. As long as I get my standard interview idgaf what she drinks but I am sure clubs put pressure on these girls to drink beer.

In my opinion, there's handful of reasons a girl is on the street. Here's some. No working papers for Mexico, traveled to Tijuana lost her papers even if she's a citizen, small chance on very rare occasion underage. I only say that to warn guys to ask for identification of they look 21 or under. Could even be a sting. You got others who don't look good enough for the clubs, some are so fat and ugly even the dump bars don't need them, a lot of them are not sociable enough for the club, while 95% of the girls I've talked to, or been with, seem like nice girls, opposed to usa "hood rat" or " white trash" girls in USA, these streets girls, still tend to be quiet, lacking sense humor, or inability to act like they are having fun. So even in the club it will be same and they won't fit in. Some don't like the smoke, some don't like being touched for 1 dollar. Although touching in HK is on the way out. Some girls can make more selling sex in street, for instance, 1 guy an hour at 35 bucks average is pretty good income for 6 hours work. I ran into a HK girl on street whose face had developed monkey pox but this was 3 years ago. Felt bad for her. I don't know what illness she had but it looked like the monkey pox we see on the news for gay guys. Also the street girls may be in the street to avoid having to kiss men as kissing is not normal In that job.

That's is why I like to stay at least 2 nights in a hotel most of the time to smooth out the 3 PM check-in BS. Some hotels will let you check in early if the room not occupied the night before.

Interesting new project I just don't have the confidence it will become a reality. If it does it will sure make Newsom and his over budget bullet train look that much more pathetic.

Hurricane Kay passes near Tijuana and San Diego on Friday and Saturday. Strong wind, rain, hot, humid.

Interesting how the experiences of Zona Norte change me and my perceptions.

I am away on vacation and normally a $50+ Motel 6 that looks kind of shitty with a rough looking crowd around the property would scare me away. But after spending enough time in Zona Norte and a few hotels around there the Motel 6 didn't scare me away at all.

The good news is nobody is banging on the door after 30 minutes!

The one bullshit thing that seems to have affected all hotels is this late check in time. Like 3 pm! Wtf. You used to be able to check in like at 11 am at hotels in the 70's.

I don't know what changed but it's bullshit now that you rent a "room" for the night but can't get into the room till 3 pm! What bull shit.

Greg.

The only project that matters is getting people back and forth from Mexico to the USA in timely manner. The fact that they are breaking ground on a new border crossing in Otay without even making use of Pedwest tells me everything I need to know.

When I drive around Tijuana, I noticed that many projects are abandoned about half completed. I suspect that this will be another half-done project that will start well, then fizzled out, abandoned and left as an eyesore. Corrupted businessmen and politicians will get paid. And the common people will take it up the ass again.

I see they said it over and over that it is mostly privately funded. I call bullshit and see another pork barrel project.
