As bad as it sounds make sure you have great insurance! AND tell them before you are leaving on the trip. My insurance says I need to keep my car parked in my garage. I used to travel a lot by motorcycle and we would always schmooze the front desk clerk when we checked in to let us park under the canopy at the front entrance. Typically there is plenty of room for several cars at one time so one parked is not really in the way. Tell them you have a classic car that you would like to keep a close eye on. If you talk nice enough you might be surprised. ALSO, if you do this make sure they leave a note for the morning staff!
I towed my boat 1600 miles from Florida to Pa and did exactly what TAKerry said. My wife called the motel we planned to stop in advance and asked about any secured parking options for example lighting and or security cameras. The person she spoke to was awesome asked what we were towing and then said just pull up under the canopy and kept an eye on it during our stop. Since we were using the same motel chain they set up the same parking for the second layover. Picture is what I parked under the canopy at the front door.
