# Art. 2941. Obligation of innkeeper to accept the deposit

An innkeeper is bound to accept for deposit the personal belongings of guests unless he is unable to provide such a service because of the excessive value, size, weight, or nature of the things sought to be deposited. He may examine the things handed over for deposit and require that they be placed in a closed or sealed receptacle.
