I keep my room looking just like when I first walked in, except for the waste basket, so there's very little for the maid to do. I've never asked for anything extra. I always tip $2 a day with a note...

Reason 1: For them not to rub my pillow cases on anything unsavoury.Reason 2: It's a tough job, one I would not do well at. They probably don't make much and probably don't have many options. I know...

We tip housekeeping on the last day when we are checking out: we don't use housekeeping services during our stay, leaving the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door while we are there, so when it comes...

We tip the maids daily, $3-5. Maybe we've been lucky, but we seem to have excellent service most of the time. Like waitresses, they are service workers who don't have a large base salary, so I do...

One final thought. Just before we leave the room each day, we call down to housekeeping and request that our room be cleaned early. About 2 years ago we had no maid service until very late in the...
