Luggage storage in Hartford?
Hello. I am trying to obtain a visa at the Brazilian Consulate in Hartford. The tricky part is that I will arrive by bus right after an international flight with luggage. I emailed the consulate to see if they wouldn't mind me bringing it in, but I'm not hopeful. Is there any luggage storage in the downtown area?
If not, I can spend the previous night in a hotel and keep luggage there, though I'm trying not to.
Thanks.

Typically in the US, any property which has a proper bell desk will simply hold luggage. This is a private arrangement between you and the bell desk and you should plan on a decent tip at drop off and then at pick up. $5 would be a bad joke.

Very interesting. Am I right to assume any 3.5* and higher hotel has a bell desk? I believe some 3* hotels such as Holiday Inn has it too, but I'm not 100% sure. I guess it's safer to stick to the 3.5+* ones, especially if I have status.

I cannot imagine this would be a problem at the Hilton or the Marriott in downtown Hartford.
