Hotel tipping

In China, I don't tip for meals, taxi's, or private drivers. But at hotels when staying multiple nights (3-7) I do tip both the front desk manager & the EL supervisor, usually about Y100. Its done in a white envelope thanking them for the suite upgrade & EL special services. During & before CNY, it's Y200 in a red envelope, & Y50 to other 'good' EL staff, amazing results on the repeat hotel stays.
