1. Bell Hop Takes your Bag to Your Room: $2/bag
2. Housekeeping on a ONE NIGHT (in-and-out) stay: $2-3
3. Housekeeping (per night or at end) on a multi-night stay: $2-3/night, rounded depending on what is in my wallet
4. Housekeeping on a multi-night stay when you do Green Choice (say 5 days using GC. What do you tip at end of stay?): Never done this
5. Valet takes your car: I refuse to valet park
6. Valet goes and gets your car: I refuse to valet park
7. Concierge helps you out: Don't normally use concierges
8. Front Desk person goes above and beyond (scores a great suite, slips you drink tickets, etc.): Nothing
9. Wait Staff when they have already included a 20% tip on the bill: Nothing additional
10. Club Lounge Attendant: $1-2 for pouring a drink, otherwise nothing
11. Server when you are at a buffet (they bring coffee, juice, then bring bill). 15-18%
