Hotel Economico

Room Rates are MEX$195 Pesos a Night (US$16.25) or MEX$15 per Hour (US$1.25), Breakfast is free

Three activities that made Tijuana thrive have been legalized gambling and prostitution and cheap alcohol. The latter caused a boom during Prohibition.
Gambling has declined in recent years, due to legalized gambling in California on Indian Reservations.
Prostitution remains a dark area with few reliable statistics. It is legal in the Zona Norte of Tijuana, but dangerous and controlled by organized crime.
