I've never had a hotel refuse a request to store luggage.
Exactly. I'm in the hotel bar area right now waiting for QR check in to open. I just arrived on RJ this morning, walked over and they were more than happy to store my luggage while I spent money in the hotel.
Funny I'm so used to Egypt being cheap, I ordered a beer at the hotel bar and it hit my Amex card at $4.60, I was complaining to myself that it's outrageous (for Egypt) but then have to think, how many hotel bars in the world can you get a 500ml beer for under $5. LOL
I've stayed here quite a bit on longer self-transits, but today only have to wait for 3-4 hours, wasn't worth it to get a room here or Novotel (which is usually much cheaper, but also now showing its age quite badly)
