I send the bag to the hotel. They will hold them, but I always call ahead and get a name to make attention to, and follow up when I see they were delivered. I try to get my bags there the day before I arrive, just in case it's a day late. One tip: Box the bag up if you can easily at home. There is an extra handling charge for luggage through UPS if not boxed. You can then use the same box when you ship back. Let me know how this works for you.
