Do you tip hotel housekeeping?

06-24-2011, 10:15 AM

We recently went to Santa Fe for a small vacation and I ended up having this discussion with my brother-in-law.

http://www.cnn.com/2011/TRAVEL/06/24...ing/index.html

I for one think it's absolutely ridiculous to tip a hotel housekeeper. In fact, up until that trip, I hadn't even heard or thought about it. Look, I know it's a shit-job .. but IT'S A JOB! Where do you draw the line?

Just curious how many of you guys tip on a regular basis and if this is something you've been doing for a while?

I find that if I leave them a buck each morning as I leave the room for the day, I get really really good service, extra towels, etc....

You don't have to, of course, I just see the difference when I do. I've been doing this for at least 15 years

What constitutes for really good service if you are rarely in the room?

I've always thought the practice was kind of strange, I don't understand what extra you would be getting out of the tip, so really am curious.

If I stay for more than like 4-5 days, I usually drop them a $50 or $100, assuming they didn't take any of my stuff or screw anything up.

I usually don't. Actually I usually don't even let them in my room when I'm not in there. This time I actually am going to though because she has been sneaking me lots of stuff like real cream and sugar from room service for my coffee.

I never have, unless there was an above normal mess (kids getting sick = $50 tip minimum). But I usually give it directly to them.

How do you leave a daily tip? Attach it to a note?

Also years ago at Webmaster Access West @ the Hollywood Sheraton the subject of me not letting housekeeping in my room unattended came up and I got alot of guff from everyone, some of the guys at the show teased me and thought it was silly so I agreed to take the do not disturb sign off the door for the rest of the trip.

Housekeeping knocked over an $80 bottle of perfume, i assume off the bathroom counter and onto the floor. It cracked the glass and and broke the top, pretty much ensuring I couldn't take it back home with me.

In a way I guess I was almost asking for it by not taking the precaution and spending the extra scratch to get a travel size, but I just choose to avoid it all together by not letting them in at all. Over the years I've had enough stuff rifled through, snatched and broken that it's just not worth it. I only call them if I need something, I'm not messy, I don't need my bed made every day.

I always leave from a couple of $ up to a few 100 if I had a suite party or similar (based on the room condition)

I did have before where it was needed to call "extra housekeeping" and "carpet cleaning" but was never charged "cleanup fees" by the hotel.

Always bribe the front desk,bellboy and the house keeping they are the people that gets the complaints from the people int he room next to you

I buy plugs

I leave $2 each day and also try to make the room as tidy as possible so they can get in and out.

I put all of the dirty towels in a pile, pickup any trash I have lying around the room, etc.

I always feel bad for them ... it's one of those jobs most people have to take, not want to take ... so I try to help out where I can.

Having been in food service in my teens, I'm also the guy that stacks all of his dishes when done eating at a restaurant. 20% is my baseline tip, more for better service. I also have a $3 minimum, so if it's just me and I'm eating on the cheap and it's like $10, I still leave $3.

I am the same exact way when given the choice, and when travel alone (conferences).

If I travel with GF, for whatever reason, she always wants clean sheets, towels, whatever.

I usually don't let housekeeping into my room at all unless I'm there for more than three days. But at the end of my stay I definitely tip because it's a shit job and they have to deal with dirty towels, sheets, and garbage cans, etc etc. To me that is worth a tip.

So do we tip the first day so that we have more products throughout the trip?

I never realized towels were such an issue. Just called and got more.

Tipping is a good way to keep an economy moving. During this recession Ive started tipping more than I normally do. The money goes right back into the economy.

But to answer the question yes I tip hotel housekeeping.

It's interesting that five dollars would prevent someone from stealing a watch, jewelry, laptop, clothing, etc.

I usually leave $5 on the pillow each day when I leave the room. I try and tip well all the time, unless service is horrible. I also tip the valet, pizza guy, bellhops, the guy at the marina, taxi/limo drivers, just about anything service related.

I always over tip. No matter what I am doing. At times you may think that they do not deserve it, but if the shoes were on the opposite foot, we would act differently.
