How to tip a maid

$1 per day, per bed, on your pillow or with a note anywhere else in the room. Most hotels have a policy that maids are not allowed to touch any money unless it is on the pillow or there is a note. There are certain instances where you should leave a little extra tip. Such as if you request additional services extra towels, sheets changed (not all hotels change your sheets if you are staying over). It is true that if you tip generously you get much better service. The hotel I work at does not change the sheets on stay overs, only when the guests check out. But when we get a generous tip, we change sheets, leave extra towels, and offer more if we see you. Unfortunately, 9 out of 10 guests don't tip at all. I disagree with the no tipping on check out. Check outs take a long time to do. We have to clean from top to bottom.
