Will LX let me check my bags through and transfer them to the UA flight the next day even though UA itself does not check bags through overnight? In this regard, does it make a difference whether I book the connecting flight as the LX codeshare?

Also, if I stay at the Raddisson Blu, by when should I plan to leave the hotel following morning if (1) I'm able to check bags through or (2) need to stop and check bags?
