Debating Overnight Stay at HK or CC

Hey y’all, hope you’re doing well. I doubt that I post here often enough to be recognized, so I’ll go over my TJ experience before going into my question. I left a TLDR at the bottom of my post, and the majority of questions are in the last paragraph if you want to skip to the meat and potatoes.
I’ve been to TJ a handful of times over the past year or two. I’ve been to both HK and CC, and I spend most of my time at HK instead of CC; I liked both clubs equally, but I didn’t have to spend an extra $20 per arriba at HK because I was staying overnight there. However, the last time I went to HK (late July), it was the beginning of the descent of the HK experience I’m sure many of us are aware of. I’ve been watching the HK reviews, and it seems like things have not been getting significantly better on the club floor. I would like to put my money where my mouth is and visit/support other clubs in the area, specifically CC.
Despite this, this is something that sticks out in my mind that makes me want to stay with HK again: the overall vacation experience. I am a busy guy who doesn't speak a lot of Spanish, and I usually only have the time to stay one night. Ergo, I want a hassle-free time in TJ. HK provides this: the Zona Shuttle is transportation, the Cascadas provide a nice room, and the Azul Restaurante provides a nice meal.
This is not to disrespect CC: I love the girls and staff there, and the simple/lowkey ambiance/vibe fits me much better than the party ambiance at HK. I used to rate both clubs about equally: I like the CC ambiance (and pina coladas) better, but HK has better girls. In my recent experience, they would be my favorite if not for the other commodities available at HK (as described above). The only issue I’ve ever had with CC is that the hotel rooms seem… average. Nothing wrong with them, but there's not much good about them either. That being said, I’ve only experienced the $20 rooms you rent out for arribas - maybe the overnight rooms are a different story.
I’ve read about other mongers who call girls out to hotels outside of the red light district and they get better prices and other benefits, but I am not interested in spending the time and effort for that. In other words, I am willing to pay more for the convenience provided at HK and the red-light district.
I would love to give my support (and money) to CC and their girls, but I fear that there will not be similar accommodation available. I checked their website and it says they have a VIP service that promises similar benefits as HK [ https://chicagoclubtijuana.com/services/ ], but I have not been able to receive confirmation from CC that these services exist (they have not responded to my email nor linked whatsapp messenger). I was wondering if there were others who have stayed at the CC overnight and know what hospitality services they provide at CC and related establishments? Is the hotel connected to CC any good? If I stay at the CC hotel, I assume I don’t have to pay the $20 room fee for each arriba? Do they give rides to/from the border? It states that there is dining, but I assume that is just the food served in the club? If you know that CC provides other services that I am not aware of, I would also appreciate that information. If you have any other information that seems related, feel free to share - there’s no harm in it, at least.

Thank you for your time and attention.

TLDR; I like the amenities available at HK (Zona Shuttle, Azul Restaurante, nice hotel room) but don’t want to spend money there due to the declining customer experience on the club floor. Are there other clubs in the area (notably CC) that provide similar amenities?
