A lot of people stay at the Fiesta Inn Tijuana Otay Aeropuerto which is located in Otay Mesa so that may leave you a bit farther from many of the shopping areas.

Others like to use the Hotel Principado, Tijuana – Zona Aeropuerto which is real close to the airport.

Another option is the Hotel Real Inn Tijuana which is nice and just a few miles further down the same road as the Hotel Principado but still relatively close – just a 10 minute Uber drive from the airport’s front sidewalk. The advantage of this hotel is that it’s located right in the middle of the most popular shopping areas.
