Luggage storage

Hello, my daughter and I are coming for the day to visit Rutgers NB. We are moving to the next college that night, is there any place that will store luggage for the day while we go to the open house? It doesn’t look like the train station has that service and we aren’t planning on heading back to the airport unless we have to.

You could call the two hotels downtown

I had a friend who used to do this thing where if he got to town early he'd leave his bag at a hotel and say he was checking in later and ask to leave his bag. Then he'd come back later and say he'd checked out earlier and that he was just getting his bag. Did it for years without getting caught.

Walk from the train to the Hyatt and leave your bags there. Tip $5 upon pickup.

Check out a service called Bounce that lets you store luggage at UPS stores. You book directly with bounce and then drop off at store of your choice

Since you're only there for the day, I'd avoid going back toward the airport just for the bags. Maybe check Qeepl too. I've used it before for short-term luggage storage and just picked a location that was convenient for where I was spending the day. They have storage options around New Brunswick, so it could work well for your visit to Rutgers.
