tipping

Thanks for letting me know tipping for taxis. What I meant about the hotel is anyone handling bags, tip per bag.

tipping

On the website I gave you it says

Hotels

Bellman - $1-$2 per bag; $5-10 for running errands

Concierge - $10 for a special effort such as handling airline tickets; offer the tip after each service or at the end of your stay

Chambermaid - generally no tip for one-night stays; $2-$5 per night for longer stays

Doorman - $1-$2 for hailing a cab; $2-$5 for unloading baggage

Room-service waiter - 15-20% of bill

Valet park attendant - $1-$2

Whiz---with all due respect, we always tip the maid when we have one night stays. The way I look at it, the maid still has to clean the room regardless of whether you stay one night or one week.

For chambermaids I usually leave a dollar or two, perhaps even 3 if I%26#39;m feeling capricious, each day when I leave the room. You never know if it will be the same maid when you check out. Plus I find that the favor is often returned in some form, extra towels, not writing down my mini-bar..etc. Not expected but always pleasant when it happens.

I leave $5 for thel maid (every morning since as cbcito said you can%26#39;t be certain that it%26#39;s the same person who%26#39;s servicing your room throughout your stay) if I%26#39;m staying in a regular room; $10/day if in a suite. %26#39;Cause as I see it, it takes more time %26amp; energy for her to do her job (make the beds, vacuum and clean the bathroom) than it does the bellhop to bring up my suitcase or the doorman to flag a cab.
