From my research it seems wearing your best duds in TJ is a mistake, as it could draw negative attention. Thing is, when I go out I like dressing up. It's more for my pleasure than anyone else's. Still, I don't want to paint a target on my back.
If I got a room at one of the hotels and restricted myself to wearing my finery in the hotel, switching to modest street clothes when venturing out, could I mitigate dangers that could arise? Or is there a possibility that I would beset by some kind of threat within the hotel itself? ( I have read some stories where some girls let armed men into the room to rob their client ).
I have never been to TJ but the tide of destiny seems to be pulling me there.

You should probably stick with street clothes. You said it yourself; you don't want to draw negative attention. I've been to TJ and there are plenty of 'shady' characters on the streets depending on what time you are out. Better to be safe than sorry.
