I "only" tip if I've created an unreasonable mess like what was described in a post above.. otherwise, heck no, they are paid to clean my room. If they don't, then I call the manager.. if they do their job even to the minimum specs I'm happy. As for towels etc, I get my own off the cart 99% of the time if I need them.
I see very little reason to ever tip housekeeping
