When I travel I stay mostly at Hampton Inns. Most of the time they will offer to let me park under the roof of the entrance. One time(I can't remember where)it wasn't offered so I asked if it would be alright. The desk clerk said they can't do it anymore because it is considered to be a fire lane. 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.
