Hotel Housekeeping
I was going to write a lengthy statement as to why I am asking the question, but it doesn't make a difference.
Is housekeeping staff compensated by the hour or by the room? Does it differ between the US and Europe?
I ask because I often do not want housekeeping, but I wonder if I am taking money out of someone's pocket.

Many hotels (certainly in the US) vary their housekeeping staff day-to-day. If enough guests request no housekeeping, fewer staff work that day. The housekeepers who weren't being paid that day probably had a different opinion of no housekeeping requests.
