Hi Orchid,

I know I never tip the maid service at any hotel I stay in. But I am aware that some people do. And I have often tipped the bellman, if he has helped me haul in a lot of luggage.

But with regard to maid, I know some maids who even leave a little envelope in the room for the tip to go in...

Your comment interested me, so I checked my good friend Google. Here's on of the many articles I found on the subject.

Maybe it's an age-related thing: Maybe people older than us are used to tipping the hotel maids... But I did notice that the article I linked to said these tipping guides were for the US...
