Checking luggage at hotel

[kayakjenn]

Based on experience, will most hotels (NYC especially) hold your luggage with the bellhop for the remainder of the day you check out? I'm checking out of a hotel on a Sunday morning and need to leave my luggage while I spend the day in the city.

I have never had a problem with this and have done it in NYC among other places.

Yes but sometimes they charge. They did for us at the grand Hyatt in NYC in December and it was like $18 or something

Never had a problem doing this anywhere.

Shouldn't be a problem! We've done this in NYC, and I do it in Dubai all the time!

We've done this all over the world and never had a problem. If it's a nicer hotel, they'll probably tag it, and might charge. If it's a less expensive hotel they typically just have a room where you can leave it. Regardless, I've rarely found security to be especially tight, so I wouldn't plan to leave anything seriously valuable like a laptop. (In that case you might ask about using the hotel safe, though I've never tried. We just carry the important stuff with us.)

I do this at many hotels. It's pretty common for me to have the check out in the AM, have meetings all day, and then have a PM flight. Never had a problem. If they don't charge, I tip.
