Hotel Tipping Guidelines Checklist
PAPERCUT.FR
Doorman | $1 to $3 if he brings your bag to the front desk or flags down a cab for you. Up it to $5 if he hails a taxi for you in the rain. |
Bellhop | $1 to $5 per bag delivered to your room. |
Housekeeper | $2 to $5 a day for chain hotels and B & Bs. For luxury resorts, where rooms require more upkeep, tip $5 to $20 a day. |
Room Service | 15 to 20 percent of the cost of the meal. If a service charge appears on your tab, the gratuity is included. |
Concierge | $5 to $50, depending on whether the service was minor (booking you a restaurant reservation) or major (scoring hard-to-get tickets). |
Valet | $2 to $5. Tip when you pick up the car, not when you drop it off. But if you just got a new set of wheels, you may want to hand the first valet a few bucks, too. |
Room Delivery | $1 to $2 per delivery for items that don't come with the room, such as a razor or a tube of toothpaste. |
Spa Staffers | 10 to 20 percent of the treatment cost. Leave the tip with the receptionist. |
Room Repairs | Zero. There's no need to pay someone who fixes things (the TV, the AC) that were supposed to work already. |
Airport Shuttle Driver | $2 to $3. |
