You mean that, in addition to not offering in-room safes, the hotel also does not offer safe-deposit boxes at the front desk?
I have found this to be true a couple times in my travels. Most recently, at a newly renovated and re-branded Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza in the Northern New Jersey-NYC area in March 2012.
Even though there was the standard notice posted in the room about getting a safe deposit box at the front desk to store valuables, there was no safe deposit to be had in the room or at the front desk! The manager at the front desk apologized for not having these, as I wanted to get one.
In these situations, I was advised that there is no law requiring these, as these are simply a convenience and amenity to hotel guests where available.
Therefore, I wound up carrying items with me during my 4 night stay in the NYC-NJ area that I would have preferred to have kept in a safe deposit in my hotel.
