    How many of you tip while staying at hotels?:thinking: I've done it at resorts but never at hotels. I've never really gave it much thought..after hearing some of the maids talk about guests not leaving tips behind..I decided to do some research and see what the customary tip's should be, if any. Well this is what I have found:

    Because tipping is a way of rewarding good service, there is no way to say what is appropriate across the board. Tip at your own discretion, but keep in mind the following guidelines:

    Valet: $1 - $2 (more in bad weather)
    Shuttle Driver: $2
    Doorman: $1 - $2 (for hailing a cab and/or helping with luggage)
    Bellman: $1 - $2 per bag (when bags are brought up and down from your room)
    Concierge: $2 - $20 (depending on the level of attention; for simple questions like directions, no tip is necessary)
    Room Service: 15 percent of the bill or at least $2 (not required if gratuity is included)
    Housekeeping: $2 - $5 per night (the messier you are, the higher the tip)
    Coat Check: $1 - $2
