Hope this reply's not too long.

I travelled as a solo woman in May 2012 and would also like to disrecommend going it alone on the pistes cos I did come to grief and was ripped off mightily to be 'rescued' by a local!!
I posted requests for beds on CouchSurf which mostly worked well and is a way to experience local life and I also used cheaper places and went to the hammams which are brilliant and a great place to meet the local women

TAZA
Hotel de l’Etoile on Pl Moulay Hassan opposite the bus station. By the souk in the upper town. As you come down from the Djebel Tazzaka Circuit you get to the old town first. New part is down the hill. You’ll need to ask as the sign is hidden behind some colonnades.
Very friendly and clean and lots of blankets. No private bathrooms but the hammam is 2 mins away. Lots of room for bikes in the courtyard. 40Dh 1 person in dble room. Best price by far in the whole stay!

MIDELT
The Bougafer 7 Ave Mohammed V in the centre of town was friendly and clean. Guardien watches parking. Some better rooms with showers but again hammam around the corner. 70 Dh single in a double.

Went out to Auberge de Jaffar but it felt very tired and past its best especially at 350 hb. According to the locals it’s now used for drinking and women!! But met some bikers who said it was fine

TODRA GORGE
Hotel de Lune de Gorge. About 9km from Tinerhir before the gorge itself overlooking a river bed and opposite the campsite with lots of flags. Very friendly. Arrived late but Layhcin cooked me a tagine. Safe parking. Dble room with balcony, hot shower! Dinner and breakfast 150Dh

DADES GORGE
Chez Pierre for a blowout. Wonderful food, best breakfast of the trip, great staff and decent doubles with private terraces overlooking the river. About 2 mls before the bendy bits up to the fancy Kasbah. Pool. Alcohol license. Bike locked in compound behind the kitchen. 500Dh single hb which compared well with not so nice places.

SETTI FATMA
Dar Piano. Actually 6km before Setti on left hand side and a much more pleasant option. French run, very civilised! Front rooms have balconies, back ones look onto river. Private parking Hb 250Dh

TIZI TEST
On the summit there is an auberge – rather basic but great setting. Supposed to be hot water, large rooms, heating provided. And a huge open fire. There’s also the option of camping there. Good parking. 250Dh single hb but was asked the same price down in the valley

MARRAKECH
Hotel des Riad des Princesses. Off Rue Riad Zitoun el Kedim which runs off Jma el Fna so very central. Can ride a bike up there to drop off luggage and safe parking by CTM hotel for 25 Dh/day. Also along Rue bar Agnou for 10/day. Breakfast is great, hammam, Jacuzzi, lge rooms, private terraces, great staff. I paid 500Dh single but think it might normally be more. Definitely one of the better ones in the price range and I looked at a LOT. My touch of luxury in a long trip.

KSABI
Chez Saeeda and Mustafa. About 4km out of the town and a better alternative than Henri IV. Well signed. Fairly basic – they’ve not quite finished everything off but a lovely warm welcome and despite a 7.30 arrival Saeeda made an epic tagine. Hot water, terrace with splendid views. Well situated to start the back road down to Imilchil and Todra. Camping possible, Safe parking. She was so pleased to see a woman biker she brought my bike Ahmed into the kitchen so he could be 'nice an warm'.

AZROU
Hotel Bonsejour seems a better bet than the Cedars which is past its best. And the manager was pretty creepy. Bonsejour is on the square behind and has rather more local life going on. Small rooms but if you get a balcony it’s ok. Private garage. Not en suite but staff will take you round to the hammam. 70 Dh single 120 Dble no breakfast.
Some nice patisseries on the square.

Lots of auberges on the road up to Ifrane which was a ghost town in mid May and an amazing Disneyesque/Randolph Hearst Castle campsite with 20ft high coffee pots.

ASILAH
Hotel Mansour recommended in Rough Guide but not that clever. None of the promised hot water, shower wouldn’t fix to the wall, no stairwell lighting despite frequent reminders. Breakfast listed as included. They demanded 25Dh for a coffee and croissant!! And it’s recommended as an English speaking travel agency but I was given very wrong info re ferries. But a pleasant town and decent fresh fish restaurants near the medina walls

Chefchaouen

Hotel Andaluz: 120 DH for 2 pers. Splendid view on the roof terrace ( 2 rooms only)on mountains and medina. Friendly staff and you can use the kitchen to cook and make tea. Hot water and clean showers and toilets.

DON'T: Pension Castellana: our laptops have been stolen from the locked bedroom; no traces of burglary, so they used a key. As the pension has no locked and safe deposit the only place you can leave your stuff is your room. Owner denied any responsibility and declared to the police that he suspected us to have taken them ourselves and try to defraud. Luckily that the friendly policemen spoke both english and french and told us the whole story after the owner of the pension has been send away.

Chefchaouen - Riad Baraka - bit pricier than other options, but really enjoyed my stay. lovely building, room and terrace, peaceful and theyve got ! its within the medina so you have to park and hoof in your gear, bit hard to find if you're not prepared with directions/map beforehand (like me)

Meknes - camp Agdal within the city is no longer operational, despite what google maps indicates as I discovered the annoying way. found another campsite about 10mi north on the N13, lookout for the sign. dont remember the name but you cant miss it.

I liked the hotel "Chez Bassou" in the center of Imilchil. Friendly fellow, clean room with private sanitory and we may have payed 280 (or 380 not shure) for 2, dinner and breakfast included.

Very nice place to stay, slept in truck, we were treated as VIP's by the owner "Said" great evening meal in Berber tent and breakfast was served by our trucks in the morning, all for a very modest amount of money. Clean modern toilets and showers.

Best place we stayed by far and I would plan another trip with this as a high light stop over.

Room for only 4-5 4X4's only so I would book in advance.

Marrakesh - tried the Islane hotel, just round the corner from the main square and opposite the main mosque. paid £48 for a double room/breakfast so not a budget place, but nice rooms and good roof terrace restaurant. They advertise parking but it is in fact over the road at a secure compound next to the mosque - no probs though and was guarded overnight with lots of overland rigs parked up.

Zagora - another vote for la Palmerie, surprisingly good for the money.

South of Rabbat towards Cassablanca - camping near a village called Mansouriaa at Ocean Blue camp site, on the coast road. Watch out for sign posts for the camp, and you drive across the sand a bit and into a pretty walled compound with moroccan tiling and clean loos.

The riad is magnificent, it's newly redecorated and very pleasant looking, tidy and clean and the comfortable terrace is a delightful place to have dinner, refresh or simply dream while watching the sunset over the medina where the hotel is located, not far from the entrance.
We took a room with toilets and shower for about 15 euros per day and that includes a very healthy breakfast served at any time in the morning. Our bedroom is as beautiful as the rest of the hotel. We just don't want to leave.
The British owners, two brothers, Joseph and Trevor, and their mother Ann, are doing their best to make us feel at home. They even provide Internet and British television ! There's even a spot to safely park our motorcycle right in front of the door. Joseph is the best source of information when it comes to choosing a good restaurant or a specific service in town, we wouldn't go shopping without asking him first what the right prices should be because he knows the region and the people since so many years. Joseph even walked us around the mountains yesterday ! They're all a very lovely family with whom we enjoy spending time and having conversations. We're enjoying a great time here thanks to their kind welcome and their superb riad..
I would definitely recommend this hotel for anyone.
Nish

Hotel CTM, Djemma el Fnaa, Marrakesh. Around 10 euros a night, with breakfast. Rooftop for viewing the square at night. Covered parking in place next door. Basic, and just fine.

The Youth Hostel, Marrakesh. Dormitory accommodation. I forget how much. Park the bike inside the gated grounds. Near the main rail station.

Hotel des Remparts, Essaouira. Park your bike inside. 8-10 euros. Rooftop view over the Atlantic. Basic.

PS I wish people would give at least an approximate price, if they can remember, for the places they mention. Your "cheap" is maybe not another's "cheap".

Marrakech
You won't go much better or cheaper than the Hotel Ali, on the main square
It's easy to miss but very, very popular. (it's just behind the post office on the main square)
Sleeping on the rooftop is also a cheaper option and also popular in the summer. And if they are full.
Staff are excellent
Views of the main square
Breakfast included

Morocco general
Budget hotels - expect to pay around 50Dh - 70Dh (about 5 - 7 euro) per night, 50 Dh in less popular towns.

Parking your bike - most towns
Ask or look for the one of the many bike parks that the locals also use. Expect to pay around 10Dh (1 euro) per night or 20Dh max. If they ask for more, find another. There are loads. Many underground so maybe hard to spot. All the ones I used, and it seems to be the norm, are secure and watched 24hr. No problem. Also, ask the guys at whatever hotel you are staying at. I found most people were very helpful indeed. My scooter was parked inside many a hotel courtyard for free.
I recommend Chefcheouan. Charming! Just remember to take your 'get rid of the pesky hawkers' stick with you.

Agdz
Jardins Tamnougalt in Tamnougalte. A few kilometers south of Agdz along the N9, cross the Draa river at the kasbah Taouirt (that one of the Bertolucci movie). After the bridge a few 100 meters at your right hand site.

Great, peaceful place with gardens. Ismail Elalaoui is a great host, friendly and discrete. Prepares excellent food. Car park at the entrance, off the road. Cheap for what you get. Empty swimming pool ;-)

I'd endorse that - 3 of us stayed there in March last year in a clean, shared room, with attached shower, so very reasonable. Bikes were secure in a gated yard, and both host and meals were excellent. Recommended, and it made a handy start for Chris Scott's MS1 then MS4 after lunch in Zagora.
