If yes to either or both, do you also tip the housekeeper each morning since all three jobs are identical in that the person is getting paid by the
hotel, yet doing a very personalized service directly for you so naturally if you tip any of the three you should tip all of the three.
Yes but I don't tip them the same way.

A couple of bucks or the local equivalent to the bell staff and the room service waiter. The equivalent of a couple of bucks per night for housekeeping staff when I check out.

I can't explain why I tip the room service staff this way but it's what I learned to do years ago.
