Stayed at the following hotels/auberges in October 2014. Traveled solo for a week, met my girlfriend at Agadir Airport so some of the room prices are for two people.

Erfoud Hotel Jnane N31.26.344 W004.13.900 above a restaurant on the main road, car park to rear, 200dh inc. b'fast. OK but restaurant can be noisy.

Ouarzazate Hotel Amlal N.30.55.249 W006.55.044 on a quiet street to the west of town. Parked the bike in a small store room (locked but only space for 1 bike), security guard on reception, b'fast and room 200dh. Friendly, OK. Would have stayed at Bikershome but Peter was away.

Mararkech Hotel Farouk, Avenue Hassan II, N31.37.921 W008.00.869 air con but not working very well, 250dh inc. b'fast. parked bike on pavement directly outside entrance. Cheap for Marrakech.

Marrakech Hotel Corail, Avenue Hassan II, not far from the above. Air con, locked underground carpark, fairly comfortable, 550dh double inc.b'fast. Worth paying the extra for the parking.

Tarroudant Hotel Tiout N30.28.155 W008.52.562 comfortable, small balcony, air con, tv. 250dh inc.b'fast. parking outside in large carpark.
Recommended

Ait Benhaddou Auberge La Baraka, N31.02.571 W007.07.811 400dh for two inc. evening meal and b'fast. Lovely place to stay, friendly, good food and views, parked bike inside Auberge, facility to have washing done Highly recommended

Zagora Hotel La Palmerie end of the main street next to the famous "Timbuktu 52 Jours" sign. An old favourite although it's getting more run down each visit. Parked bike inside hotel, night security, friendly staff, bar and (if they haven't run out) double room and b'fast for two 210dh. Recommended

Tamtattouchte (10km north from Todra Gorge) Auberge Baddou N31.40.223 W005.32.872 Comfortable, pool, great food, friendly staff, parking in grounds. 250dh per person inc b'fast and evening meal.
Great place to stay, highly recommended.

Igherm Hotel Rendezvous N30.05.380 W008.27.623. 80dh for two. Very basic accommodation, food was ok. You'll probably skip using the shower here and sleep with your biking gear on as we did. Think it's the only hotel in town so serves a purpose but not the sort of place you'd choose to take your girlfriend or wife (although I did and she's still talking to me).

Sidi Ifni Hotel Bellevue N29.22.893 W10.10.612 Old colonial type hotel perched on the cliff with great sea views. Restaurant with and wine, very comfortable rooms, great views, car park outside entrance, friendly staff, 200dh double and b'fast 30dh. Recommended

Tangier Hotel Picaso. City centre not far from the souk above the port. N35.46.778 W005.48.742 Large rooms, tv, air con and a locked underground carpark. 250dh. Recommended because of the safeparking, can be noisy at night as there's a few bars outside.

IBIS Hotels Always a safe bet and found in major cities. Can be expensive but deals available if booking well in advance on-line. We saved about 50% at one this way. Stayed at Meknes, Agadir and the Ibis Budget (about 100dh cheaper) in Tangier.

Laayoune
Hotel Jodesa
100m north of CTM bus office on opposite side of the street.
GPS N27.153029, W13.196612 (approx)
Very pleasant people. Single room DH160 with shared bathroom. Clean and well maintained. 160DH for en-suite
Parking outside on pavement with guardien. Set-back from street kerb, cafe next-door for extra security. Nice breakfast in cafe too.

Tan Tan Hotel Biranzarane
A few hundred metres from town centre. Next door to what I assumed was an army barracks (all the khaki on duty) but it seems it's the Palais Royale
GPS N28.43979 W11.10614
Many room with no external window; window(with shutters) onto internal corridor. Probably very hot in summer
Moto parking kindly offered on private patio next to front door
DH 70 shared bathroom

Kasba Tadla Hotel les Alles
GPS N32.59685 W6.26298
Moto parking in internal courtyard (via narrow door)
Single room with small balcony DH70. Shared bathroom
I really liked K Tadla; a well-maintained kasba, a few little parks.
(Who's the Frenchman who abandoned his Yamaha - a TDM I think - in a corner of the courtyard? )

Sidi Slimane Hotel Aymen
Modern hotel, air-con, restaurant, terrace,swimming pool (empty)
Double room, en-suite incl buffet breakfast DH330 - after some negotiation, and it was low season.
GPS N34.25980 W5.92083
Secure parking out back.

Chefchaouen
Riad Baraka.
booked through hostel world. Lovely riad in old medina. Secure parking outside medina. Very old place with a lot of charm, fantastic roof area. No single rooms, so not good value for a 1 unless you went in the mixed dorm. Run by an english lady and her sons. They do s too!
250 dh, including breakfast but would be the same for 2 people. Has its own website.

Taza
de la Gare.
on corner by roundabout next to station.
secure garage. Modern rooms with ac, tvs and showers. Nice and cool.
200dh, but I suspect it would be the same for 2 people as I was in a double room.

Beni Tajjite
Beni Zitti guest house.
this town is said to have no accomadation, but I was fortunate enough to meet Musapha, who owns this hotel. There are a number of rooms with various facilities and I was made to feel most welcome with an evening meal home cooked for me. A modern building, wifi, tvs etc situated just outside the town on the Boudenib road. If coming from the north, ask at the Green Oil fuel station for Mustapha. He is also building a luxury hotel here, not sure when it will be finished though.
300dh for a twin room, with breakfast. Good value home cooked dinners too. A real slice of Maroccan hospitality! I think he also has a more basic hostel in the town.
email:benzitti2008@gmail.com

Efroud
Camping Tifina
5kms south of Efroud. Decent campsite with plenty of facilities, swimming pool, etc, some shaded plots which I managed to bag because it was quiet. No bog paper.
80dh/ night.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
