>>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. <<
Sorry, that just does not make sense. I just want the room to be, at best, the way it was when I first walked in. In fact, when my wife and I are on a trip together, sometimes we leave the “do not disturb” hanger out for a couple of days. I can think of no reason whatsoever to pay a tip for cleaning staff, in a hotel room or my cubicle. I also have only used a bellhop once in my life. I hate the awkward “tip” moment to the point that I will make multiple trips to carry my own luggage.

Oh well. I like the extra service and I will pay for it. We did a trip to Sydney and left the maid Tootsie Rolls with a note. The next day she left us a Violet Crumble.
I like it. It’s worth a buck to me.
