Hotels with secure motorcycle parking....
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
 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.

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
Oh.....I see you ride a KLR....no threat of someone stealing that (sorry, couldn't resist)

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

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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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