Hotel room tipping

#1

I always leave $5 with the note of extras I'd like. Everything I ask for is always left for me.

      $2.00 each day and a polite written note for any requirements

is all it takes for a very pleasant stay.

Don't forget to tip the maids. We watched one recently when we were in

the room and they came to clean and it was amazing how much they really do,

even if maybe it didn't seem all that necessary (like vacuuming every day),

and how hard they work.

A friend of mine suggested leaving money on the pillow every day, instead

of giving money at the end of the stay, since different maids may be

cleaning on different days, and ever since then we normally tip $2-3 per night by

placing it on the pillow where they are sure to see it.

Me, too. And if I don't need anything extra I still write the note thanking Housekeeping.

We use to leave a tip in the room at the end of our stay but now leave
$5 per night. Since it is a comped room, $5/night seems reasonable.

Once while staying at the Reserve (Fiesta/Henderson), the housekeeping
lady came running down the hall thanking us so much for the tip as we
were leaving the room. She genuinely appreciated it.

Once while staying at Sam's Town, we returned to the room and the $5 was
gone but the room wasn't cleaned. We called housekeeping that sent a
couple of people to clean up. We didn't give any more tips on that trip.

I stayed in Las Vegas at the Trump in March tipping $10.00 a night last night $20.00. I was again in Las Vegas in June did the same when I stayed at Palazzo. Housekeeping love it and are so very thankful. My husband worked in the hotel business when going through college he said it is the least we can do as they clean up after us. So whatever you are able to do is greatly appreciated.
