Th c-store is about the only commercial development on the US side other than several trucking terminals , all the city stuff is in Mexico. This is not a problem . Once you have insurance you can just ride into Mexico ,the customs people will rarley stop you, very amable , it is still a very friendly crossing when going INTO Mexico, a lot of local to and fro traffic. Go straight south a few blocks till you get to the main street Benito Juarez at the plaza then turn west and go about five blocks . Hotel Paraiso ( sorry ,my error, no "d" in there) will be visible to your right - big name written on the upper wall- front entry is just around the corner on Alberto Aldrete. All rooms are second floor, parking below, nice place , can walk down to the plaza , lots of restaurants around , also McDonalds south of the plaza, and BK and Pollo Feliz farther west on B.Juarez.
That Hotel Paraiso didn't show up on a search is no surprise due to my spelling error .It is a normal low budget hotel (was $18 single in '03) of which there are many all over Mexico.I got lots of'em. .All businesses in Tecate and other border towns will accept US dollars and often post prices in same and have cash registers set up to handle both. They do however round up prices a bit to their advantage, and it makes sense to pay in pesos. For this you can go to any of the cash machines in Mexico with your home bank card and get the needed supply. There is a bank with such a machine( cajero automatico) on the corner right beside Hotel Paraiso.
H.Paraiso is not the only hotel in town, I just like it and have stayed there multiple times.For the heck of it I just searched for it by name under Hotel Paraiso ,Tecate ,BCN,Mexico and got a bunch of sites , picked one which showed it had H.P. and it also listed all the others for Tecate, who'd a-thunk it !
The $150 quote for ten days is a bit steep ( liability only for bikes) . Three years ago I paid less at the c-store and elswhere this year too, like $115 for a month from Sanborns, but of course rates can change.
Yesterday I spoke of made assumptions- and I was assuming that you were aware of the fact that it would be best for you if you carried your passport ( to get you back into the USA!) as ID as well as your current drivers license, had the bike registration and ownership current and in your own name, same as passport and credit card . Also assumed you know that fees for import permit and tourist tax are non-refundable, but if a bond is posted that it will be refunded upon clearing bike out of Mexico.
Enjoy the trip!
