hello,
I just road right through mexico and found that nine times out of ten I was alowed to just park my bike in the hotel lobbies. Usually right infront of the desk and security guard. About fifteen differant places and just one bungy chord went missing!
Mexicans love bikes.

In San Cristobal de las Casas, Mission Colonial in the old part of town. 200 pesos with parking, very nice place.

In Puerto Arista, Jose's Camping and Cabanas, 80 pesos for one person in a cabana, and he's a great cook. Very good meals and very cold . The beach is about two blocks away.

Although I think this should be in the North America section:

Hidalgo del Parral or just Parral:
Hotel El Fuente (not Restaurant La Fuente)
near Plaza Principal, Calle Herrera or Mercaderes
175 pesos for single room with 2 people, secure parking in gated yard

Durango:

Hotel Ana Isabel
Calle 5 Febrero
parallel to 20 Noviembre
near Plaza del Armas
180 for 1, 250 for 2, large clean rooms near the Honda Dealer (also on 20 Noviembre). Parking in Lobby, extremely friendly, Receptionist sleeps beside the bikes
