That’s what hotels do. It’s kind of a secret but basically every hotel lets you keep your luggage past checkout and pick it up later that day before you leave for the airport.
Likewise if you arrive before your check-in time you can drop your luggage off until you come back.
How is that a secret?
Honest question as I assumed it's common knowledge
It depends on where you’re from and what sort of upbringing you’ve had and life you were exposed to. Just like most common knowledge.
Another little known fact - your luggage isn’t insured when you do that. These guys all seem to offer insurance to protect what happens to your luggage
That's one of the reason I've been reluctant to do so, yeah. All of the hotels I've been to that do this have been painfully explicit about how they're not responsible for literally anything, and that there aren't even any cameras to investigate potential issues afterward.
That's a big fat "nope" from me. Which is likely their desire.
It's probably insured under homeowner's or renter's insurance, if you have either of those.
Yes but that works for secrets too. I can understand not everyone knows about this but calling it a secret seems a stretch.
Some. Perhaps many/most. But multiple I've asked at have refused, some have demanded far higher fees ($50 and up), etc.
