And wanna do something about it.

I have seen this many a times at big hotels where i eventually land up on my bike only, is the second rate treatment that they give. As if all bombs and terrorists are supposed to land up on bikes only, and our helmets are bombs.

I have faced this at 4 hotels in the capital, and one in NCR, namely Intercontinental ( the old one), the Grand ( where they were the least rude), Hyatt and Radisson. In Gurgaon also at Crown Plaza.

I mean are bikers not humans?? can the rich or intellectual enough to enter the hotel come in cars only??


From not been given entry to two wheelers at the Intercon, to being inquired as to why do i want to enter the hotel, right at the main gate. When i said i have to meet someone, they asked me if i had any documentation??? what!!! wtf!! documentation??

I told em, im there to meet my friend, and next time please ask relevant questions.

The parking for instance at hyatt was in the second basement in one corner, and then go up stairs to reach an elevator to reach the lobby. I mean get real ya.

I had a word with the lobby manager of the intercon also regarding this once. I told him, if i was to turn up in a 10 lakh car, the guards outside would rush to open the door for a tip. But if i was to turn up in a 10 lakh bike, i would have to park the bike, across the road in some shady parking lot... Thats really cool.. He dint know what to say, other than to cite security reasons..

I mean.. isnt it easier to bring a bomb inside a car, than a bike?? where are you gonna hide it???


I refused to leave my helmet in the parking ( would you leave a 2k AGV tied to your bike?? ). They had some big issue over that, and are taunting me that you wont be permitted to enter the hotel even. Rude as hell. Same thing at the hotel entrance. I told them specifically, that this is a very expensive helmet, keep it in a place where it wont get scratched. They kept it at the entrance counter inside the hotel, and by the time i came back, it was lying at the valet's desk outside the hotel lobby. I mean they scanned the helmet already, and still cannot respect a guest's wishes.

Please share your views, and if something should be done about this. I feel if we could send emails to these various hotels as a community, and maybe get them to review and respond to the situation as to taking care of guests on two wheelers. Im not asking for a valet service, just some dignity and respect.
