May a nonlicensee ship firearms interstate for his or her use in hunting or other lawful activity?

Yes. A person may ship a firearm to or herself in care of another person in the State where he or she intends to hunt or engage in any other lawful activity. The package should be addressed to the owner “in the care of” the out–of–State resident. Upon reaching its destination, persons other than the owner may not open the package or take possession of the firearm.
ATF Q&A

What if you're staying at a hotel?

I've shipped things in care of "Guest in room xxx". I'm sure the hotel would be happy to hold it at the front desk. Or maybe ship to a local UPS.

I feel like maybe you stay in nicer hotels than I do. Haha!
