Do you tip the cleaning staff at a hotel?

[glassparman]

I always leave them a tip. A simple note that says "don't look under the bed".

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?

Yes, $5 per night.

One night: no.

Depends on how messy the romp with the missus was. Good prep, no mess. Sometimes, though.....

Only seems right to leave a little cash if the staff has to deal with the sheets in that condition.

Usually, one night used to be $5, but I have been leaving $7 recently.

In the 1980s and 1990s used to be $2 per night.

nope..... I agree tipping is out of control....it has become much like the dudes on the side of the road. After 45 years of retail work the only tip I ever received was "your trousers are unzipped"

we always do - if not for quality of service - just to show appreciation for them actually working for a living

I do, on the rare occasions that we travel. Also a very short thank-you note. Mom was a waitress for most of my young life. I'm sensitive to "personal service." YMMV

If you've ever been on a ship, tipping can shock ya.

I don't tip for one night @motel.

I do unless there was an issue with the room. I also tip for food pick even though no one “waited on” me per se.
I do this because I see it as part of my annual charity. I enjoy blessing others with the abundance God has given me and that doesn’t always mean 100% as a check to my church.
