Stayed at a Hilton this past week and saw some leaving cash on the desk, some spouting off their room number as they left (what is that about?), some just saying 'thank you' and some nothing at all.
I've tipped the concierge a few bucks when I've stayed late at the lounge (with buddies/colleagues who would also tip as well). Concerning giving my room number, I've only been asked this the first time or so I've used the lounge on a stay. (I assume to find out who I was.) After that the concierge usually knows who I am. A few times I've given my room number as I've left as when I arrived at the lounge the concierge appeared to be temporarily absent. And I always say "Thank you" when I leave.
