> Until reading this article, I didn’t know they’d hold your bags too, which seems great if you wanna see the city for a few days

Isn’t this normal around the world? I left 2 large suitcases at my hotel in Dubai for a month before returning.

I’ve never tried leaving them at a hotel for an extended period of time (overnight or longer). Also my understanding from the article is that you can ship them from the airport to the hotel, to arrive in the future at your date of arrival - not sure if this is the same as your experience in Dubai but either way, new to me :)

At least in Japan many of the hotels I use will only hold your bags for the same day (check-in or check-out day), not overnight or longer.

I wouldn't say normal, it depends on the size and availability at the hotel. I also left some baggage in Indonesia for a month, but the hotel was large and lax. In two other similar-sized hotels they were storing the bags either in the open-air lobby or in a small staff-only hallway. Neither place would be suitable for medium-term storage.
