How much do you leave for hotel housekeeping?

Anonymous
I just left a hotel today and left my usual $5 per day, but am now thinking that with inflation I should’ve left more. How much are you all leaving these days?

I don’t. It’s included in the (crazy) price of hotels. We are neat and clean and if we could restock the room ourselves, we would.

Do you change the sheets on those heavy mattresses too? I leave about $5-10 a night, but there was a thread where others left more?

Nothing. I’ve never left a tip for housekeeping and don’t plan to. I stayed at a Fairfield Inn last month for three nights. When I checked into the room they had an envelope out,asking for tips.

Not a big deal, I’ve seen that before. I just ignore it.

However, when I came back from my meeting, my room was not made up. Called the front desk and they are only doing housekeeping every 5 days.

FFS. And you have the gall to ask for tips when you aren’t doing anything??

+1000. I’m not tipping housekeepers. Hell, half the time, they don’t even bother cleaning the room each day. What exactly am I tipping for?

OP here…. The staff did clean our room each day. I would agree if housekeeping didn’t come in

No tip. Besides used towels folded neatly I leave the room much cleaner than when I come. I wip everything down with Lysol wipes and scrub out the tub.

Tough. If they aren’t up for the job, don’t work in housekeeping. Not my problem. Team no tip.

Agreed on the no tip part but you bring cleaning supplies on vacation? Me thinks you are trolling.

Another for $5/day. Those cleaning crews don’t see much of the $ you’re paying to stay there
