>>I bet this cheap turd doesn’t even leave a buck on the night table for the hard-working woman who cleans his hotel room each day.<<

Whoah there! I spend a LOT of time in hotel rooms. I have never, EVER tipped. Where did this come from?

I worked at a Hilton in college.
We got tips, you got extra towels, toiletries and most anything you asked for. I even left candy for kids who where there a while.

If you’re going to be in a hotel for more than a day, leave a note the first day with a buck or two. I ALWAYS leave a note stating that we don’t needs the beds changed for a week stay, a request for extra towels and a couple dollars. The maids will bend over backwards for you.

Hmmm...frankly I am surprised. I will always leave one or two bucks for the woman who cleans up. Sometimes I leave a buck a day and sometimes I leave it when I check out.

I am from the northeast and that is fairly common here...perhaps our difference on this issue relates to the culture of where we're from.

But the way I figure, when I travel for business, I am staying in a room that can be anywhere from 125 to 300/night and a minimum wage woman who works hard (likely helping support a family) deserves a few bucks. I will, at times, go down to the desk and change a 5 or 10 so I can leave a few singles, come back to the room and then go back down and check out.

I guess it was my mistake to think this was a universal thing...
