Hotels with secure motorcycle parking....

karmatourer - 12-2-2010 at 02:15 PM

I'm moving back to Baja (Cabo this time) and will need to overnight several places.I'll be riding a KLR this time and a safe/secure place for overnight parking is a must.Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.I don't know which towns I'll be staying in,so all info is appreciated.
I will have garage space for your bike and a couch AFTER
:lol:

your shower if you're down my way.
Thanks.

Welcome to BajaNomad, kt. Most riders here try to get a room on the bottom floor so they can park their bikes in the room. Can't be too vigilant.
Have a good trip south.

Need hotels between SD and Cabo w/secure motorcycle parking

karmatourer - 12-2-2010 at 03:42 PM

Will be making the ride in January. :yes:

Thanks in advance.

If you have a 650 or larger, buy a disc lock; if you have an off-road bike, buy a 6'foot cable lock.

I have a half-dozen Baja rides on different bikes and never heard of a bike being stolen, aside from during Baja 1000.

They might pilfer stuff off a bike (helmet, GPS, etc), so don't hang stuff on the bike overnight.

"Secure parking" is misleading...if real bad guys are around, security does NOT exist....opportunistic theft is more likely.

Have a good ride :saint:

Oh.....I see you ride a KLR....no threat of someone stealing that :lol:

(sorry, couldn't resist)

Come stay at Casa Leree in San Ignacio, where parking is inside the gate and visible from the house.

Bajahowodd - 12-2-2010 at 04:51 PM

True enough. Very few places South of Ensenada that have locked gates or full time security. I can think of one, Hacienda Suites in Loreto that has a secure locked lot, but kind of pricey. Best idea is to do what Dennis said, and choose places located off the highway some distance.

DENNIS - 12-2-2010 at 05:01 PM

He thought I was feeding him a big plate of BS so he went off and started another thread.
:lol:

You can run, but you can't hide. :lol:

Bajahowodd - 12-2-2010 at 05:13 PM

Saw that, but couldn't figure out why. Do you have some sort of magical ability the "end-post" a thread? :lol:

We stayed at the Desert Inn in Catavina last April and there were a number of guys staying there with bikes. They would bring them around back and there was an area right next to their room to park them.

KT,

The best you will do in most cases is a single story property where you can park right next to the room, off the highway where it is not visible to everyone, and/or a walled parking lot.

These are properties I have parked my M/C at with no problems;

San Quintin..............Old Mill and Jardines
Guerrero Negro..........Malarrimo
San Ignacio.............Rice and Beans
Santa Rosalia...........El Morro
Mulege...................Cuesta Real

These properties are all around $400-$500 pesos.

There are other properties in these towns that also will fit the bill, I'm just mentioning ones that I have used with a M/C and are used by other cyclists as well.

I agree with the advice for a cable lock, take everything in with you at night, and a bike cover isn't a bad idea as well.

Have a great time!

Mulege--Las Casias-- you can pull your KLR into the court yard right in front of your door--We did it last Jan. Rooms--35.00--great restaurant --almost like a B& B coffee & tea always on-- big couch w/Fire place

Bay of LA(If you get sidetracked)-Guillermo's Right on the SOC, best sunrises, you can park your bike right outside the room.
San Ignacio-La Posada It's in the back of town, your bike will be right outside your room.
Mulege-Hacienda You can park your bike right outside your room, the courtyard can be accessed from the street behind the hotel.

Baja's Best in El Rosario has a gated, locked yard. contact for a room in advance - limited accommodations, but very comfortable.

durrelllrobert - 12-3-2010 at 10:04 AM

Also, if you take aside trip to San Filipe, the SF Inn (up the hill a block from the Miramar) has walled parking with a locked gate and guard all night long.

motoged - 12-3-2010 at 11:00 AM

See.........??? No stolen moto comments !

Reduce the bandito paranoia factor a few notches, buy a lock, and go eat some tacos :cool:

karmatourer - 12-3-2010 at 12:15 PM

Thanks everyone-I wasn't expecting such an overwhelming response so quickly.Looks like I have the peninsula covered.
And Dennis,please see my U2U regarding the overposting :biggrin:

.Thanks again everyone and hopefully I'll be able to contribute once I get settled.

durrelllrobert - 12-3-2010 at 01:10 PM

if you talk nice to the landscape guy at this place he might take care of your bike for you :lol:

Those big wide-body bikes with all the extras won't fit thru the door. :biggrin:

And you've got to beware of any oil leaks.

I'm sure you would have had the same comment if I had been on any of the 4 BMW GSs I owned. :rolleyes:

Whatever time you leave, there will be a natural destination, short of sunset, with accommodations you will find comfortable. Wherever you stay, your bike will be within earshot. Despite what is in the news, common sense applied, expect a safe unmolested journey. Enjoy your ride.
