Changed thread title to include "Travel experiences".

Just wanted to comment on below. I do tip housekeepers consistently and doormen/concierge (inconsistently, when they hail me a cab or hold my luggage till the end of the day). I've seen housekeepers work as I pass by in the hallways and I can only imagine the crap they have to take care of.

When you stay at a hotel, do you tip?

Most people think you should. In a recent survey from hotel software firm Canary Technologies, 79% of hotel guests said they think workers should get tips. But hotel workers in the survey said only about 30% of guests typically tip.
When I was travelling a lot, I'd generally leave $10 for the 3 nights, 4 days. I also leave any spare change as I hate carrying them. However, I did wait till the checkout day which below says not to do.

Housekeepers: Plan on tipping $3 to $5 per day, or, if you have a bigger crew, $1 per person. But don’t tally it up and leave a big tip at the end, says Gottsman. “Housekeepers change shifts daily. The person you get today might not be the person you get tomorrow. Leave tips daily.”
