I've not had hotel personnel complain about crew members, but over this past year, I've had a number of hotel personnel express thanks for crew members staying at the hotel; in several cases, crew made up the bulk of those staying, and the hotel recognized that. How one treats hotel staff, including the driver, may have some part in how one is treated.
I know crew members who have been terminated for treating hotel staff badly. I don't disagree. Your behavior is not only a reflection on the company, but on you.
good for you being so generous. I tend to think 5 dollars for taking my bag is a bit much though. I do a dollar for airport hotels and 2 for longer rides downtown.
