Bikes in Hotels

[tprevost]

I would pre-call. A lot of the hotels here, in cities that host large triathlons, do not allow bikes in the rooms, because people get bike grease all over everything and use the towels to clean their bikes. Thanks a lot for ruining it for everyone. In fact, I heard that the hotel I plan on staying at for Six Gap does not allow bikes inside. The hotel we use for the brevet series in Clermont, FL has a formal "no bikes" policy, but allows just our group to bring them in, on the condition that we never cause any damage, or they won't let us any more.

Wow! I've never heard of a no bikes policy! What a bummer! I've always just rolled mine right in and no one has ever said a thing. In fact, if they wouldn't allow my bike in the room, I wouldn't stay there because I'd want it where I could keep an eye on it (I know, probably a little overboard, but that's me )

I always find it easier in life to ask for forgiveness rather than ask for permission...

I've never asked about taking my bike into a room. This weekend I was in Madison, WI. I stayed in a Sheraton - just rolled my bike right onto the elevator up the the 4th floor. Usually on an elevator I will stand the bike upright - takes up less space.

My bike and I stayed in the Mariott in downtown Milwaukee a couple of weeks ago. No questions, no problems. I even had people who were walking by on the sidewalk and stop to help with the door. I either looked pathetic getting through the door, or they were extremely nice - I prefer to think they were nice

Must just be hotels in cities that host Ironmans that get screwed, then...Or I should say rides of 2500 or so. But when I stayed in Chatanooga my bike got to come in.

Thanks everyone,

I think I'll just make my reservation online, and then roll up to reception.
