To bring it back on target, does anyone know how much housekeepers are paid?. My recollection ( which is often wrong ) is that in San Francisco major hotels, they were making about $11/hr at the expiration of the last contract. Not great money, especially for the Bay area, but not poverty, either.
Thanks. Actual pay scales are generally privileged information so I doubt you would be able to find out many exact pay rates out there, but I can say that based on what you've said it doesn't seem to be very much below the pay scales for front desk staff. As a night auditor in Irvine (which is only marginally cheaper than the Bay Area) I was being paid a $1 premium over day workers at something like 11.75 and hour.
