$2 is plenty. $10? Think about that. At $10 per room, bellmen could easily earn $50 an hour!!! Of course if the bellman has his MBA, then maybe he's worth the $10...

Unless a bellman has provided wonderful service, he is only receiving $1-2 from this cheap ........ $10 for a few bags is a great amount of money, considering desk clerks are lucky to earn $8/hr.

Maybe the website you were at was quoting rates in a foreign currency.
