[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote]

I feel passionate about this topic. Valet and baggage service providers (usually men) regularly receive excellent tips. The women scrubbing toilets and changing the sheets get little. I leave about $5 per day. [/quote]

I agree.  People feel compelled to tip when they have to look the person in the eye, but ignore the women who do the hard work in the background.  I usually leave $5/day, but after reading this thread I think I'll start bumping it up ... both due to inflation and realizing how many people don't tip at all.

Related question: do people leave the day's tip each day, or one larger tip at the end?  I prefer leaving some each day, but don't always have small bills.  And sometimes (due to kid schedules etc) we leave the Do Not Disturb sign on and just have one cleaning at the end, in which case we just leave one tip for the whole visit.  If someone brings us fresh towels I'll hand that person $5 directly.[/quote]
