Thanks in advance!
I always do, sometimes at dropping off, and always when picking up. Depending on the property it could be $2, or possibly $5 on my part. In Hawaii I give $5 at drop off, and the same or more when picking up. Makes a huge difference in the response time over the course of a week. I used to get worked up about this, but I look at an extra $100 as relatively small in what the overall vacation cost me. I try to save on other things during the trip, not anything service related though.
