Good move, bad move?

Does Hyatt have a recommended place to leave the tip so housekeeping knows it is for them?

Sometimes, all I need is fresh towels. I don't need the bed changed, I'll keep my own sink cleaned up, usually bring my own necessaries...is there a way to *only* get fresh towels each day and not make the crew work any harder than necessary?

Thanks! And thanks for being here.
I would not suggest giving it to the desk. Not that they would take it, but it would take a while to make it to the person who cleaned your room. Leave a little note on your money and they will take it. At least the ones I know aren't shy about taking money...

If you only need fresh towels, I would suggest leaving up your do not disturb sign and calling down for towels when you need them. Our standard is to have them to you in less than 15 minutes.
