Baggage Storage in the Club Acela at Penn Station?

[ATXEagle]

In a few days I'll be traveling through New York with sleeper reservations. Is there a place to store luggage in the Club Acela at Penn Station?

Thanks!

Yes, unsecured storage.

Thanks! Does that mean you just leave it on a shelf or something?

Precisely that!

It is an area open to all who gain access to the lounge, so you don't want to leave anything valuable in your luggage. And if your luggage tends to look like everyone else's, you may want to do something to make it stand out so that someone doesn't mistakenly grab your bag thinking that it's there bag.

Very good advice!

Its basically an alcove, just inside the door but before the attendant's desk. It has a wall that keeps the area out of view by just about every one. So, someone could grab any piece of luggage there, be out the door, and into the crowd, without anyone noticing.

Personally, I would not put anything in that area unless you would not care if it went missing.
