I'll be visiting San Diego for work in May and would like to get in a bit early and spend a few nights in the Zona. I usually get a room in San Diego and another at Cascadas. Room rates have gone up a good bit on both sides of the border since COVID so, I'd prefer not to do this if I don't have to (more money left for entertainment). Not to mention that the trip and border is kind of a pain in the ass.
As it is a work trip, I'll have a laptop and other electronics. Nothing classified, LOL, but would prefer not to have to explain losing a laptop in TJ.
Has anyone has any issues or have any recommendations?


The better rooms have safes that seem pretty secure. I have never had any problems. They won’t let you take cameras in the room though. Not sure if there are other banned items. You could find a locker in the US maybe around the airport or you could go to the Marriott or some upscale place and check a bag with them for a few days.
