My bikes are dirty as hell and get ridden in every weather imaginable, and I'd rather eat off of them then some of the hotels I've stayed in before.

I really enjoy my stays at these, most have their own parking garages too good place to do little repairs and such.

Some of them have some interesting furniture in the rooms too

This was the best we could do at the Roadstar Inn in Madison, WI this past weekend;yellow means cycle parking only right?

Hotel off 28 just south of Deals Gap. We nic-named this the bates motel. The old husband and wife that ran the hotel/gas station were as nice as could be but first impressions leave a mark... before they spoke I walked in to see an elderly lady with an eye patch and elderly man walk around a corner tightening up his belt.

room was clean, cant complain really.. though I did share it with a cricket I could never find...

first though was. "How many people have been murdered here and how many 70's porns were shot here as well..."

Thought that was funny..

Party?

I was in room 12. Window air conditioning units...small room, old furniture...nowhere to get ice. My friend had a half-eaten Subway sandwich left in his refrigerator. Good thing, since there was no breakfast provided. As costly as a chain, too.
Ah, well. The ride was great!

Mmm I tend to agree with you looking at that. Personally I think I'd sleep out side and keep the bike in.
