The maid who comes in about every two or three days to change your sheets, clean the bathroom and give you new towels? She would come in everyday if I wanted but I can make my own bed and load the dishwasher and turn the knob to turn it on (their maids are suppose to put your dishes in the dishwasher and turn it on...and empty it when it's finished. I kid you not.). Oh she also vacuums.
Do you tip everytime they come in, every week or at the end of your stay? I haven't tipped her yet but I'm starting to feel guilty for not tipping her yet.
So how much would you tip her and when?

At my in-laws Bed-n-Breakfast, the guests typically leave a flat $10 - $20 bucks for your average weekend stay. The rooms are in the range of $120 - $150 a night, so it's not too big a percentage, looking at it from that angle.
-
If this stay is part of your relocation package, *you* should not have to tip at all. This isn't a volunteer vacation.
Find out how the employer wants you to handle the situation. (no, I'm not being too petty - right is right is right)
-
I would say pay at the end of your stay, anything between $5-$10 per three nights spent would be fair. Maybe a bit more based on the services provided.

By the end of our stay we will have been here a little over a month. I have no idea what is proper for that long of a stay.

Back in the day, I was a maid at a dive motel. Now this was when I was 14-16 years old. I started at $1.85/hour, I kid you not.
Getting a cash tip happened once in a blue moon and it was always appreciated. But, what really made my day was when smokes or alcohol was left behind.... good times! I'll never forget the time we were drinking Schlitz and smoking Swisher Sweets down by the creek.... :evillaugh: Memories!
-
I usually tip at the end of the stay, unless the service was nonexistent.
In your case, whatever you tip should be expensed, so tipping every week might be appropriate.
Those situations like you're in, BEG, they're pretty conscientious because they make decent $$ due to the expense reports that are being filled out.

I'm sure the company would pay us back.

Tell them if they want tips to become a Rabbi. :p

My sister, a good-time party girl back in the day, said she left a Gideon Bible in every hotel and motel room she occupied.

Why you are totally trashy. I knew there was a reason I loved you.

Thanks for the tip Eupher.

Swisher Sweets, now those were fine nickel cigars. Now do you believe I'm old?

That was pretty lame by your standards Undies.
How you been feeling lately?

But if we ever smoked cigars together, it would be cubans. Nothing but the best for my BFF! :-*

As old as me probably! Ah well, we still got it going on Johnny!

This is why I love you my friend. :evillaugh: :-*
BEG, I miss you first of all and secondly, I don't know. We tipped the lady at the Holiday Inn when we stayed 3 nights during my grandmother's funeral 5 bucks. She came in once to do all that.

:lmao: Did you have a cousin that left chocolate mints?
Eupher beat me to it... if your husband's company is managing the hotel expenses, charge them for it.

I know we can charge it to the company but how much should we give her?

How much do you tip a mover?
I gave each guy a $100 and from the look they gave me I could tell it was way too much. I gave the foreman the money to hand out and the other guys got out of the truck, came into the house, shook my hand and thanked me.

We usually tipped something like 50 bucks per guy for the movers...the ones we had on our last move were awesome, and there were only 2 of them.
As for the hotel, I'd do one big tip at the end...maybe 30 bucks for the month?
-
I saw this discussed somewhere else before, but I can't remember where. I never leave tips if I'm only there for one night -- I don't travel enough for it to enter my mind. Its just not something I think about but you're a long-term guest. Your maid probably does at least five rooms in an hour, probably more. My guess would be $20-30 a week depending on how much work she has to do and how nice the hotel is..

That seems more like it :rotf:

Instead of tipping, tell her you'll give her beauty tips and lessons on how to speak English.

Very bad! Go to my room!

That was pretty lame by your standards Undies.
It is not me who has changed. You're just too California Hip & With-It now to be amused by a simple Texas bumpkin like moi.
How you been feeling lately?
Like I went into respiratory failure and heart failure, died three times, got shocked back to life three times, stayed unconscious and on a respirator for over a week, had triple bypass open heart surgery, and like they removed and then used every blood vessel in my right leg to reattach my heart to my body.....so, over all, not too bad.
I haven't had a cigarette since the 16th of July. I will never smoke another cigarette again. Now that's pain! :p

When you say it all together like that it really is quite shocking. I'm so glad you are alive...even if you are but a Texas bumkin. :-*
-
I would tip $20-30 per week if she's done a good job. I've never been in this situation but that sounds like a fair amount.
Undies, I'm floored! I knew what was going on but it is shocking (no pun intended) to read it like that! Man, I'm so glad you're too onerey (sp?) to pop your clogs.

I can imagine not having undies around, but I don't think that's what you meant. :uhsure:
As for Undies, I'm really glad you fought your way through all that. Glad you are on the mend now, Undies. :-*

After I "woke up" and got off the ventilator, and before my bypass three days later, I was quite the attraction in the CCICU. I was the Miracle Man. I wasn't suppose to live through the first night and the three heart attacks (one being MASSIVE), so to be up and sharp as a tack a week later was a big crowd drawer. Even the paramedics had to come around to see me for themselves.
I was on every prayer list and in every prayer circle between Antarctica an the Arctic Circle. I didn't stand a chance at dying, really.
:innocent:

Wow. I've been away for a kinda long time and missed a bunch it seems. Glad you didn't need my prayers buddy as you had some love to spare. God bless anyway. fwiw my pop had triple bypass 15 years ago and is going strong. (even started smoking again the lovable knucklehead) Best to the fam and friends though.
Hi BEG. I tip $3 a night but never stayed anywhere a month before. I'm pretty tidy but I do grab up all the extra soaps and shampoo's and whatnots. Even the free stuff I can't identify. (what is con-dish-o-ner??!?!)
-
I would wait until the end....just in case you don't tip enough...you don't want to make them mad...they may "short sheet" the beds.
$1 per person per night is more than fair....especially since you have the "critters" there too, right.
You may want to give it to the manager so that it's split out to all that took care of your room. Otherwise, if there is more than one, which would be normal....someone could take all for themself and not share with those who shared the duties.

I guess you won't be running around in speedos anymore?

Is there something wrong with being a Texas "bumpkin" ?!?!?!?!??

I gave speedos up years ago after I got confused and once put the potato down the back.
