Generally I find hotels in continental Europe very understanding of motorcyclists.  I normally ask if they have private parking and if they do that is enough.  A couple of places I have turned up looked at the private parking and thought, err not leaving the bike there and when I asked them if it was alright to park it in view of  the reception (even on the footpath) they have been happy to oblige.  True it is easier as I tour on my own so it is just one bike...  Hope that helps a little, Peter

PS. Google Street View is also a good tool to use when booking hotels as if they are in town you can see if they have a wide pavement and such like!

We travelled in that area a few years back.  Fantastic motorcycling terrain.

The plan was to go with the bike, however the switchgear issue raised its ugly head and prevented us from taking the bike.

What we did see was so many hotels, with the sign - Motorcyclists welcome.  So I don't think Hotels are a major problem.

For reference. There is a website which gave/gives motorcycle friendly hotels across Europe - I don't have it near me now.  I will check it out, and post it tonight.
Best regards, Sleuth
