Obviously, this is a very personal decision. In normal times for family leisure stays, we do $5/day for housekeeping or $20/week at RI's where we decline housekeeping most days. In your case perhaps $20/week to each staff member who has been making your stay feel like home away from home. During the pandemic, I have been increasing my tipping levels as much as I can to help support folks who are in a less fortunate position. I am sure whatever you decide to give will be appreciated by the staff.

P.S. For business stays, I have tended to only tip in the restaurants. I typically decline housekeeping during business stays. If I happen to be at a property with valet parking (very rare), I will also tip the valet. I haven't travelled for business for almost one year now. Once I resume business travel, I will probably start to tip housekeeping as well even though I don't use their services most of the time.
