Just a reminder we are in the 2 weeks leading up to Christmas and this time of year sees an increased incidences of policia looking to extract a bribe "La Mordia" out of clueless gringos. You can protect yourself by walking with a sense of purpose and urgency, always keeping your head on the proverbial swivel, and of course not carrying any contraband on your person. If you are stopped be polite but firm in that you are not carrying anything illegal and if asked to hand over your wallet for search always hold your cash in hand then hand over the wallet for seach. Stay safe out there and enjoy your trips.

Thumbs up!

Country John is your go to guy about currently best escorts services. He lives in Mexico and has friends who own some of the escort services and he knows how they do their business. He is not trying to gain anything by telling you, just help you out.

Wow. A blast from the past. I'd love to touch base with Country John. Back in the day we exchanged a LOT of messages, especially about a girl we both knew / know. It would be fun to catch up.

Like I said, what percentage of lurkers have been or ever will visit Tijuana? I have no idea and I never mentioned room availability.

I think he was replying to me. I had mentioned at one time being scolded for posting about a particular hotel abd Board member Sgt Perv was kind enough to give me some info via private message because he was asked by senior members at the time (keep in mind this message is from 2009) to not post about certain hotels. I see Sgt Perv hasn't posted anything since 2019 so he may no longer hobby but here is an excerpt from his message.

Sgt Perv.

"Some things are not put out in the open forum.

You might want to PM Precocious One about dental procedures. He is a good guy.

Country John is your go to guy about currently best escorts services. He lives in Mexico and has friends who own some of the escort services and he knows how they do their business. He is not trying to gain anything by telling you, just help you out.

Hotels: Pueblo Amigo would be a nice extra treat for yourself for TLN. Espana on Ave Rev is real popular but some guys have pm and asked me not to say anything about it in the open forum (they claim it fills up fast as it is). Fuck the zona hotels some do not have windows.

Hotel Nelson is almost 60 years old but the best location. I always figured if worst came to worst I can run, crawl or stagger 1/2 block better than I can 4 blocks. Plus a third or forth story room has a view. I use the ATM at the end of the block at the bank. ".

Reading the entire PM really takes me back because he talks about the muggers that used to hang out on Art 123 and Coahulia, and the Monte Carlo restauraunt that used to be next to Adelita Bar. Espana has since rebranded as the Rio Rita hotel and has become a very nice place but the price has pretty much doubled and sometimes is triple what it used to be. A room used to be had there for about 300 pesos but that was back when the peso was about 12 to 1. He also speaks of another board that is no longer active but has come back as a different forum name that I won't name here.

I have no doubt that there are lots of lurkers on here but I disagree that they have any impact on the room availability in Tijuana.

If every lurker descended on to Tijuana at the same time sure but that's not happening. Cheers!

At Revrez I can't repond to your message because yer box is full.

There are many lurkers. Back when I was really active on this forum years ago, I'd regularly post photos of chicas I tapped. On average, each photo generated around 400-500 views, some 600-700, and one is probably going to crack 1,000 views. So totally agree there are a lot of looky loos who view these threads, but what percentage of those have been or ever will visit Tijuana? I have no idea. Also, among the small percentage of viewers who post, I suspect even within that group are guys who've never been to Tijuana but want to experience the exhilaration from their mom's basement.

There might be a half a dozen or so guys who actually post here but the number of people who read the forum and don't contribute is a lot larger than you might suspect.

Do you really think that the half dozen or so guys that frequent this particular forum section is going to have a impact on hotel supply in Tijuana?

I've seen it happen before. There might be a half a dozen or so guys who actually post here but the number of people who read the forum and don't contribute is alot larger than you might suspect. I've just been scolded on here and other forums before for "screwing the pooch" so to say by posting my hotel reiews and recomendations. In the past I have experienced not being able to get a hotel room where I normally do due to occupancy being full.

It's always been my thought that sharing our experiences is exactly what we are here for. If someone wants to start a seperate thread I'd be happy to post my hotel experiences there.

[FlapJacK]

While a hotel thread would be a nice thing to have the thread would be difficult to maintain as hotel rates change depending on demand. This also can backfire because if a certain hotel gets a glowing recomendation here that hotel may start to fill up more often cuasing supply issues.

I don't want to discourage your from continuing this discussion in a full thread by itself. For me, it is what it is. Tijuana is expensive, specially the Hotels. For the quality and comfort the city provides, it is too damn expensive. Now you can also add food to the list. We can bear the Coochie price but all other things so high for a mostly run down city like Tijuana which has nothing but roads and buildings, makes you want retire early and go to more far way places.

Anyway, I have a feeling we are the lasts of the Mohicans of American commoners who go around the world to find affordable coochie. The dollar is going down.

The sad part is it didn't used to be this way. Tijuana was mostly an affordable destination where all manner of delights, hotels, food, and yes even coochie was very affordable. It seems COVID changed all of that. A hotel that used to be less than 30 dollars is now regularly priced at 70 and above. Food is no longer cheap but certainly not as expensive as it is in the USA but that also depends on where and what you are eating. The coochie price also still beats what it would cost you in the US depending on where you get your coochie from. SGs while they have risen in price are still somewhat affordable but the lack of service and enthusiasm makes the value for money proposition virtually nil. Bar girls service is usually top notch but you pay a top notch price for it.

Couple inflation with the fact that the dollar just doesn't go as far as it used to pesowise and you get an enviornment where you start to question your reasons for going. I hit that point well before covid came though and I discovered Thailand. The drawback of any destination in S. E. A. Tho is the distance and time it takes to get there from the USA.

Should we make another thread just for the hotels? To share about local prices and which ones continue to be girl friendly?

Given how much goes on, the hotel is such a critical part of a Tijuana experience.

My personal experience is with hotel catalina. If you get a good room, its perfect. Three floors up and out of the revolucion crowd. Not the nicest rooms though. Caesars is very nice for usually only $50. Quinta was nice until I had a horrible experience due to the noise from a local bar blasting music until 2 am.

Quinta you can get for $30 to $40, same with catalina. An average person can walk to the zona in about 20 minutes depending on traffic lights.

Valerio is also nice as the rooms are inward so you don't get the street noise. The rooms are expensive now though at around $70/ night! I have no clue why its so pricey, but that's what usually keeps me away. Although I suppose for the $20, being close to the street girls can be a big help!

Onto price again. I've found that booking online is actually MORE expensive most of the time than just walking in without a reservation. Its insane when you think about it, but the online prices likely include CC fees.

Caesars so far has been my greatest experience. They never ask for more money when youbring up a girl. Also the place is pretty classy everyone is wearing a suit!

I've never had to check a girl in at Grand and I've been there over a 100 nights the past 5 years. Girl #1 is a SG from the alley I've known a long time and will stay with me a few nights every time I visit nearly every month. Girl #2 I met though a Escort agency and she also stays with me overnight. Neither girl has been asked or required to check it, I meet them out side and walk in with them or near elevators and go up with no issues.

That was his point. The staff was messing with him.
