So, I guess it depends on local ordinances as well as the individual hotel policy. It doesn't really bother me. I don't expect privledges just because I'm on 2 wheels. I put the cover on and go get a good night's sleep.
That sounds questionable. Fire lanes usually prohibit parking at all times, but arriving guests are always parking under those canopies. Maybe that clerk didn't like bikers.
I didn't know about that policy at Hampton Inns until last summer when a desk clerk encouraged me to park there. They are nice hotels, though I still have a soft spot for the old mom and pop places where you can park right outside of your door. Here's a great one I found on Route 66:
