Do you tip the cleaning staff at a hotel?

[Dorkus]

Say you stay a single night at a regular hotel, not a fancy one, do you leave a tip? Hampton Inn, Holiday Inn, Best Western type.

If so, why and how much?

If not, why not?

I stay in a lot of hotels and am curious what the thought is of this topic?

No solely based on the fact that I am sick of tipping everyone for everything. I paid for my night there, why would I give you more money to not change the sheets (take a blacklight to a hotel and you'll be surprised) and pick up a couple towels? Nobody tips me at my job for preventing disgruntled employees coming back and shooting up the place or running off homeless people before they can break into employees cars

We typically stay 2 days (casinos) and keep the DND sign on the door until we leave. We don't trash the room. I always leave $10 by the TV when we leave. Usually our two night stays are comped.

I never used to, but my wife always did. So if I think of it now, I'll leave $5. I don't think they make much money.

Not on overnight stays. If we are there a 4-7 days (vacation), then we'll leave about $10/night when we leave or the cleaning staff.

Normal business travel, no. Holiday travel, sometimes depending on the service and where we are.

Used to $5 or more if impressed on more than one night per night. (sort of a bribe in a way when you are going to be there the next day after you tipped as well.)

Now anymore most motels don't even clean room on extended stays more than a day unless you ask. And I dont ask ever.

Only if I use service during my stay (which I don't).

For one night,,,
No.

When I traveled for work and spent several days in one room,,,
Yes.

The morning I left the room I put a $20.00 on the lampstand,,,
But that was 25 years ago.

No. Tipping culture is out of control.
