This is really great! Thanks so much.

Another question regarding tipping the housekeeper (rather than "chambermaid" -- trying to stay "gender-neutral" here, a few of them are actually guys!):

I often have long-ish stays of one or two weeks (even on business trips). I have usually left a tip for the housekeeper at the end of the stay, or sometimes at the end of each week of the stay.

But what if the housekeeper on the last day is a different one than the one who cleaned my room the previous several days? Does he/she pocket all the money? Should I leave a tip every day instead of just once a week or so?

Kathy-
The housekeeping manager should take care of this and divide the tip accordingly. The fact that you tip is nice enough (not nearly enough people do). Let them worry about the rest.
