If I manage to go on this trip, I have to check out from the hotel I guess in the morning sometime. So we want to see NY during the day before leaving. I think you can store your luggage at the hotel, right? But I don't know how safe it is. Would you feel comfortable doing this? Or do you have any other solution on where to store your luggage?

Yes. you can leave it at the hotel. Why wouldn't it be safe?

It's very common. Hotels usually have a locked room just for this purpose. We done this without trouble.

When we stayed at the Doubletree last year, they just kept the luggage in a room to the side that anyone could walk into. A door didn't even exist. But do most hotels keep your luggage in a locked room while you're out?

We checked ours in last year at our hotel for safe keeping all day (in NYC). Worked out great!

What hotel was that? I'm still looking for an affordable hotel
But good to know about the storage. Thanks!!!

Storing luggage at the front desk of your hotel on the day of check-out is very typical all over the world. Yes I feel comfortable doing it.

Some train stations have
lockers or left-luggage servie.

Normally the room is locked or behind the registration desk.

In one San Francisco hotel (an old one) they chained our luggage to each other then to the leg of the sofa in the lobby with a bicycle lock!!

Wow, I'd love the way they did that in SF! But if they do lock it up in a room, I'd feel goodMaybe that's something I can ask the hotel when I book a room over the phone too?
