What is the recommended tip for room attendants?
When I do get asked that question, I recommend $2 a day, and if [guests] are staying a longer period of time, $10 a week. But it depends on the individual and how they would like to tip. How does a guest know the right person receives the tip? It goes to the room attendant who cleans the room on the day the tip was given. Most of our room attendants are assigned sections, so you really have the same room attendant cleaning the majority of your stay, with the exception of days off. If we receive a $10 tip, we do go back and look at the individual worksheets for the days and give, for example, $6 to one room attendant and $4 to the other. What happens to the small bottles of shampoo and other toiletries when only a tiny amount is used by a guest? Can they be recycled or donated? No, for safety and security purposes, anything that is opened is discarded and thrown away. The individual bottles are taped and once the tape is broken, they’re thrown away.
