Tip Housekeeping Daily — Not Just at Checkout

The Problem

You plan to tip at checkout but different housekeepers clean your room on different days.

The Hack

Leave $3-5 on the nightstand each morning with a note saying 'Thank you / Housekeeping.' Different housekeepers may clean your room each day — daily tips ensure each one is thanked.

Why It Works

Housekeeping staff rotate rooms daily. A checkout-only tip goes to whoever cleans on your last day. Daily tips ensure every person who cleans your room receives thanks for their work.

Pro Tips

  • $3-5/day is the recommended range
  • Leave a note so they know it's for them (not forgotten change)
  • Place on the nightstand or pillow — clearly visible
  • This is one of the most thoughtful travel habits you can have
