Hong Kong Club Reports

[BrotherMouzone]

The Hilton in La Jolla charged me a resort fee. What the F is a resort fee with a 4 pm check-in time?

Per their website below are the amenities Hilton charges the $32/ night resort fee for. Hotel guest gets charged the fee whether they use any of these amenities or not. Similar sort of thing in Vegas where in the past they would only charge if you used them. Just an excuse to nickel and dime. Early check-in / Late check-out is another nickel and dime method that's become more common (at least in Vegas) - at least for late check-out, it used to be customary that they would give you an hour or two grace period past stated checkout time to checkout if you asked.

"The resort fee includes:

Pool access.

Spa access.

Health club access.

Fitness / yoga classes.

Sporting facilities or equipment.

Nearby fitness center access.

Business center / computer access.

Internet access.

Phone calls.

In-room bottled water.

In-room coffee.

Concierge service.

Wired Internet access (may be limited)".

The way to keep having fun is easy. It also means HK probably makes less money overall.

Do not go down every weekend spending whatever on drinks and maybe get 1 or 2 girls. Save up money and have 2-3 trips a year. Save money and go less often with more money.

I see what mongers do to make their quick trips regularly and I think that business model is more difficult with some of the new ways of doing things. I have been more times this year than probably any other year but I still am probably not top 10 in people I know who go. Well maybe I have cracked top 10 if we include "GFE" trips outside the club. There are some who go as many times in 2 months as I use to go pre-2022 all year.

I am down to twice a week now in the Zona. I used to go 4 times a week pre pandemic. Nowadays I don't even bother with HK unless a girlfriend (s) calls me over. To me, the other clubs offers everything HK offers, without stupid scamming games. They are just spread out to several clubs, that is the only difference.

Before the pandemic, I remember taking a chica from Golden Nugget upstairs and they sent a clown meseros to my room with a bucket of beer and I thought about throwing his ass down the stairs at I got pissed. And I thought to myself that this is the reason Golden Nugget will remain a stupid dive bar instead of a real club like HK. Apparently HK recently hired the scamming manager of Golden Nugget to fuck over customers.

Adelitas used to the the King of the Zona Norte. Then it implemented the early knock scam. And guys took their money to other clubs. BTW, HK looks full right now when you guys are visiting. But upon a closer look, it is really a result of HK closing off most of its space to get people packed in rather than an increase in patrons. Unless it is a late night on Fridays or Saturdays, the expansion into their former garage and most of the upstairs are not even used. And Chubelas is just a waiting room for the chicas. HK may feel crowded, but it really isn't.

Resort fees are fees that cover the free shit that hotels give customers like bus rides to the mall, or holding your luggage until you check in, etc. But as you can see, it is not really free. It is just spread out to all customers regardless of usage. Think of it as a HK chica robe fee.

On July 4th weekend the last time I went to the clubs it was obvious how much other clubs picking up their game. I will probably start heading into some of the other smaller bars too with the HK rules. The harsh rules hitting waiters and girls too. They are starting to work the other clubs. I know one girl who will not even come to Tijuana to work anymore. She offered to come to Tijuana to see me but refuses to work in the clubs. It is too bad because she is maybe the best GFE experience I have had. She will come to me but if most mongers want to see her they now need to go to Guadalajara.

There will be an adjustment period. If HK keeps coming down this hard things will change. Apparently the flights to other cities in Mexico are extremely cheap. More than one girl wants me to fly to other cities or is even willing to come to Tijuana but avoid the Zona. My favorite right now just left HK a couple weeks ago and is coming back when I come back so HK gets me another trip to show they can be reasonable. I will be spending more time in other clubs though.

There is a waiter I know who now works in another club and is asking me to come to that club.

Mongers, ladies and waiters all getting hammered by the greedy HK. Hope this is a temporary thing because if this keeps happening HK may lose its crown.

They need more business minded people and less tyrants in charge. It really takes a bad business person to mess up that gold mine. The right business person with a vision could take it 3-4 levels higher.

Bros should give the other big clubs a shot also. I am about 98% sure between Chicago, Tropical & Adelita a guy could find an attractive & fun women. Chicago had a good lineup on my visit last month. Tropical has a lot of average talent, but there's usually 2-3 gems; sometimes even more.

Even Bar Gold Palace had 2 near stunners on my last trip to Tijuana.

The interiors of all the Zona bars are fine. They all operate on the same program. Just HK now has the most & best looking women.

I agree, HK is great for a couple of days, there is nothing that come close, maybe Germany. I can understand if you go every weekend it can get old, but then you meet girls on there off time and outside the club.

Germany is great, but expensive and a long flight. I just do not how guys can complain about either destination.

Aviator is right.

HK management's brutal pressure on putas, meseros, hotel workers to extract money from their clients is just unreasonable and nasty. HK's management and workers think their clients are a bunch of weak and stupid wimps who can be pushed around and squeezed for all their money at every tur. They have been acting like bullies, treating their clients like shit.

Chicago recently has quite a few beautiful, glammy girls working, some are fresh, looking innocent. It's really trying hard, offering various freebies, nonstop shows and entertainment, far more fun, sexy, relaxed and laid back without constant pressure to squeeze money out of guys like HK. The bros should spend their time and money in Chicago and Adelita to help them retain talents and grow, also give HK some competition to make them improve their services.

I think Pre-Covid mgmt. Was pretty chilled, now it is all about money. Things have definitely changed, I do like the increased security, but a lot of energy is now gone from the hotel and Azul. We still had unbelievable time, but as I told my friend, get use to saying, "No at HK."

On a side note Thursday and Friday were great. Saturday there was just too many dudes and not enough girls.

Prices for everything worldwide are up. Guess what, there is inflation in Tijuana too. Prices for many things have gone up in the city.

The bros are also urged to tame down, keep payments and tips close to normal market rates to keep prices and services reasonable and stable for the rest of the guys and locals. We should not cause unreasonable expectations and excess inflation that will harm locals' interests in their onw playing field. So far local guys have been very welcoming, tolerant and hospitable in sharing their sexy fun with us. But if we price them out of their own market, they will get pissed off and things can get ugly for us.

And therein lies the rub, IMO. As counterintuitive as it may sound, HK's true customer base (at least in terms of spending) aren't the dudes (like many of the ones on here complaining) that hit up HK on a weekly / multiple times a week basis. It's the dudes like myself and other out-of-towners (which includes "out of town" folks nearby from LA and other parts of Cali) who go to HK maybe once up to a handful of times a year and have no problems indulging in vacation-like spending every time they make the trip out there. While the price hikes suck, "regulars" like myself who don't actually go regularly are more likely to grin and bear it because you're only dealing with it every so often, you're on vacation anyway, and the pricing overall is still way cheaper than anything in the States. Not to mention these activities being legal in Tijuana while still being very illegal in the States LOL.

There's actually been similar nickel-and-dime hiking of prices that's been going on in Vegas for the past several years now (e. G. , resort fees, parking on the Strip no longer free at most casinos, etc.). But if you're an out-of-towner only going to Vegas once every year or two, you're generally willing to grin and bear it as you're only going to Vegas every once in a blue moon anyway.

So I don't see this hurting business for HK. It'll still be business as usual with most of the same customers willing to shell out the extra $$$ (even if reluctantly).

It has been about 3 years since I went to HK. During the "pandemic" I let my passport expire and I am excited to plan my return. This is more of a curiosity question and not a deal breaker. What does a bottle of XX go for these days. I rtfo and ficha drinks are now $10 - see I RTFO. Also. Any other big differences between 3 years ago and now. Any and all is appreciated.

Compared to 3 years ago. Basically prices are up about 20-40%. Especially HK & street gals.

HK club is much more fun due to 2 reasons. They combined it with adjacent club Las Chavelas. Which has great Mexican live bands on many evening nights.

And HK club expanded on the other side too with a brand new section. That part is only open weekends.

All else is about the same. You will have a great time!!

I went there post pandemic and didn't really see any major differences except prices are a little higher (most girls ask at least for $100) and there is a temperature check for people entering the club.

About a year ago changes to the business caused problems with some mongers. I get it.

For me the business model works wonders. Besides the fact I like to travel there is no where else I would rather go. Mexican girls are the best on the planet for my needs. HK alone has hundreds working each night. I have gotten very good at the HK game and figuring out which chica will push my buttons. Add in the smaller potential of near by clubs and street girls. Best place on the planet for me to spend my money. FK Disneyland take me to the Zona!

I am enjoying the outside of the club GFE experience but the club need not worry. My wingmen and I got the next trip planned. I got one for sure future customer coming. Two other highly likely future customers coming. Trying to get 2 old customers to do their first post COVID trip that is going to happen eventually but not putting off my fun waiting.
