Hi All,

It's been some time since I reviewed my tipping habits and found through this new Travel and Leisure article
that I am a tad under what I should be tipping when on the road staying in a hotel
The two categories I apparently have been way under are housekeeping where I left 3 dollars a day or 5 a day in a suite and valet parking where I also typically give 3 dollars.
I was actually over in the bellman tipping
I'd certainly like to hear from our community the overall consensus on tipping when it is appropriate and customary to do so
Thanks in advance for your input
Cheers 777

• Bellman: $1 to $2 per bag.
• Concierge: $10 to $20 for performing a special service, such as scoring tickets to a sold-out event or wrangling lost luggage from your airline.
• Doorman: $2 for hailing a cab in rush hour or in the rain; $1 for each bag.
• Housekeeping: $5 to $10 per day. Leave it at the front desk if you want it divided equally among all your housekeepers.
• Room Service: A service charge is almost always included in the bill. To personally thank your server, 5 percent will suffice.
• Valet: $5 when your car is delivered.

Note: Gratuities are often lower or not expected outside North America. Follow local tipping customs when traveling overseas.
