I saw in a recent review or discussion that Hotel Cascadas is now charging $200 if you bring a girl from another club to the hotel. I've read similar things about Hotel Ticuan. Does anyone have any recent experience at either place? This sounds ridiculous to me!
Has anyone stayed out by the Tijuana airport? I'm kinda a Hilton points whore and they have a Hampton Inn near the airport that gets great reviews. It looks like a 20 minute ride form the Zona. Anyone else have any experience with this?

Please don't take this personally, but so what if they charge extra for TLN? What makes it ridiculous?
Out of the couple of dozen people who post regularly here about going to TJ, only a handful do TLNs on a regular basis and complaining to the management about an extra charge amounts to approximately one fart in a windstorm. They would just tell you to pay up or vote with your feet.
The hotels near the airport are convenient to the airport, and that's about it. I highly doubt you'd be that happy staying there if mongering in the ZN is your goal, and the farther you get from the ZN the lower your chances are of staying at a guest-friendly hotel (especially if it's branded).
