Hey there, folks!

So turns out in my half-awake mental state for Hotel Registration, I set my departure for Sunday the 29th instead of Monday the 30th.

Bummer.  :'(

I haven't yet ruled out that they might possibly allow me to stay for an extra night when I check in at the concierge desk, but I know there's no guarantees.
If not, I'm pretty sure I can manage one all-nighter.

But I don't carry much as far as luggage goes, all my clothes and stuff fit into my backpack.
So instead of lugging it around from noon on Sunday till Monday's end of con, I was looking for alternatives.

I vaguely remember in previous years, the convention had a baggage check on Monday, and I was wondering if that was an option for folks on Sunday.

If not, do you know if the Marriott will hold on to my luggage from my Sunday checkout time until Monday?

Wasn't sure whether to ask this here or in the Hotel subforum, apologies in advance.

I think normally they don't hold stuff over night. Though you might at least be able to get the Marriott to hold it most of Sunday. I would suggest just calling up the hotel and asking them directly.

There's an official answer to this question. See "Where can I store my luggage?"

That information is incomplete because virilevocalist is correct, in the past Fanime has offered it's own luggage check service on Monday. Which is not mentioned in that FAQ. They have it in the Marriott and my understanding is that you do not have to be staying at the Marriott to use Fanime's bag check service. (Just an FYI in case someone interested in Monday bag check runs across this convo)

Disclaimer: I am not a Fanime official and cannot confirm this was implemented last year or that they will definitely be doing the same this year.

FanStorage is located in the Hilton Market Room not in the Marriott...
They charge per item.
