Velario Hotel in TIjuana Review (5 min walk to Hong Kong Gentlemens Club)

[@nelsonmartinviphost2010]

I appreciate this post Luke, but honestly, every time I visit TJ, I happily stay at either Rizo or Cascadas at HK because with their vip card for $60, the rooms in both hotels are always 70% off Monday and Tuesday, so the cheapest room starts at only $26 a night down from $85. And honestly, I’ve found that HK girls don’t wana walk far to a room, even my regular girls sometimes complain about just walking across the street to Rizo. This hotel you’ve posted looks nice, but $70 is only $15 cheaper than both HK hotels, and the HK hotels are 20% off every night anyways so $68 a night. Just posting the current numbers for comparison shopping for your subscribers. Cheers

Facts but always nice to try something new

[@nelsonmartinviphost2010]

Sure new is nice, but only if the money makes better sense, and most importantly, if ur girl is able and willing to see u in a different hotel. I assume HK girls can’t go outside their hotels..

[@sassasins031]

I'd rather double room it. Have something like the Velario where I know my stuff is secure and then short time another room close to the action so you can take a girl easily.

[@LandscapeMaster33]

They charged me $130 bucks to stay at cascades when I was there last. They rip u off non stop at HK in all reality. They just charge whatever they want. Even the short term rooms. One time I go up and it’s $30. Go up an hour later with a different chick and they charge me $50. Theyre all over the map at HK.

[@brianoc6057]

@LandscapeMaster33 If you have a Room it should be free if you bring the girls up

[@jasonwillis4819]

Glad you got an upgraded camera!!!! Yeah this place is safe. The staff is professional and the rooms are big. Never had a problem here.

The walk from there to HK/alley is VERY dangerous at night.

[@LandscapeMaster33]

That’s awesome. That’s where I’m planning on staying in December when I come back. Super stoked. Post more live vids / party vids FYI. Missing the TJ motivation lol

[@jazzman7167]

The hotel is moderate at best, but the walk is too dangerous. I would find another alternative if possible.

Uber and taxis are your friend. Last night in the rain the Pandas were dancing outside rolling the tourists while I was safe behind the walls of this hotel.

Didn't seem like that bad of location was at the hong kong for 2days and did laps allaround the blocks and arches, Noone bothered me at all. So easy just to have room as cascadas

[@EdCarson-zy5fz]

Luke, will Adelitas ever open back up again? And if not, who will go/move into this space (Hong Kong - HK)?

[@victoyous3214]

I was wondering the same thing. I miss that place

[@exexpat11]

Their upstairs hotel is listed as a place to stay for longer terms now. I also miss Adelita. She was a wonderful woman! LOL!

[@exexpat11]

There are also many AirB&B's in the area that are private and less expensive. But for food and alcohol onsite it does not look too bad.

@@lukepowell5534 Cool. Couple questions Luke, are you working for hourly or commission driving in N. Dakota? Is it seasonal? Do you recommend it? I've been on a 17 yr, non-stop trip to 98 countries, blowing out backs on every continent! Now I'm back in Chicago. I have a CDL class A with nine years experience from 90s/2000s. Looking for a possible gig, seasonal would be even better for me. Cheers

[@Rebound-rl5eu]

Went to Hong Kong first time, flying home now, was awesome, had an awesome time, super nervous crossing the border, and then heading back as soon as I got dropped off I got ripped off 20, I wasn't sure where I was going, super long line that looked all Mexican, guy comes up to me and says I can take you to the other line, ends up he brings me half way up the line and cut people, 2 Mexican girls let me stay but guys were yelling at me ...the line is back there, I said fuck it I'm not going anywhere, learning experience, I know better for next time, felt more safe walking the streets around Hong Kong then I did at border crossing

I am looking for hotels as close as possible to Zona (besides Cas and Rizo) that have quiet rooms and strong WIFI .. is this a good option for this?

[@exexpat11]

You'll be fine or are already there enjoying.

[@jonathangonzalez5474]

$70 is too much for this hotel. The rooms don’t even have windows, several reports of bed bugs. The location is terrible. One would think that the location is nice Becuase it’s only two blocks from hk but those two blocks are incredible filthy and sketchy. The lighting in the rooms are white fluorescent , so it gives a very cold vibe overall. This hotel would be great if it were in the $45 economical range.

[@joelincolnlincoln6315]

Yeah all hotels jumped to 70 due to migrants filling them up. It will be 100 soon probably and yes its like a cave

[@adrian-bx9sy]

which ones do you recommend?

[@Beatbyawhiteboy]

I agree. Too expensive in a ghetto area, and I have read many reviews about bed bugs.

[@jonathangonzalez5474]

@@adrian-bx9sy depends what you are looking for and price range. My all time fav is Hotel grand when it’s $90. Hotel Ticuan is ol’ reliable tho. Free breakfast buffet and unlimited guest visits per stay. Pueblo amigo is good when it’s around $80. Prices fluctuate so much. Good economic hotels are ceasars and hotel baja. Usually around $45-80 . Unlitmited guests per stay. No hassle bringing up different guests through the day

[@UnderwaterFishFilms]

Great Video... How is Tropical Bar? I been to Chicago and HK but not Tropical Bar

[@MexicanMovie]

Luke, i gotta question: if you're gonna stay in Mexico for a bit and you pay for the extended stay visa, what do you tell them is the purpose of your visit ? Do you just tell them "I'm looking to blow out some backs or what ????

[@hiruu]

Yeah, I’ve seen the room go for as low as $39 on Expedia, so at that price, it is worth it, but otherwise…with VIP, Cascadas is the better option.

[@LandscapeMaster33]

Cascades is dirty and they rip u off. Not to mention I wouldn’t leave anything valuable in that place

[@xxxx7451]

Where do you dump a load? Out on the sidewalk or in the toilet 🚽?

In the lobby or front parking lot preferably

It’s not too bad really close to all the action I mean literally a 5 min walk rooms are not too bad I did not see any roaches or bedbugs in my room but I was on the third floor so maybe that’s why restaurant was not to bad either and it is chica friendly anyways good price for what you get.

Diaz..who my god its 1950 ish..have you stayed

Does Posada or Nelson have any American TV channels?

[@garrett5799]

@@Beatbyawhiteboy The question should be does the TV work? In some rooms there is no TV, in other rooms a TV may be inside the room but it doesn't work. If the TV works it might be staticky with wavy lines going up and down the screen. And only if you get lucky and the TV works okay then it might have a few English channels. But my saying goes like this, "you get what you pay for." (lol).

[@Beatbyawhiteboy]

@@garrett5799 That is funny because I've been to a few cheap ones, some don't even work ( Hotel Garcia ), and some have a few Spanish channels, that's it. I assume anything less than $100, you won't be able to watch anything.
