We tip about $5 per day for mousekeeping. Like someone else said, they're picking up after us. I try to keep our room picked up but in such a small space with shopping bags and souveniers ever increasing.. it gets tough. I have a skin problem where I have to use a new towel daily...yes even at home. I feel bad about leaving "more work" for them but I kind of have to because of that problem. We've always had great mousekeepers that go above the call of duty. If we have any requests, we write them on the envelope and they've always accommodated.


I understand tipping is a personal choice, but I feel if someone is doing MORE than their "job" (ie- going above and beyond such as towel animals/leaving extra things and/or doing an amazing job) I tip them. I tip our  yard guy when he sprays the yard with bug spray or gets in and tames my grape plant rather than just mowing/weedeating for example. He even built a trellis sort of thing for the grape plant out of materials he found in our yard. He doesn't charge extra for any of these things so I feel he deserves to be tipped. Same goes for the mousekeeper who isn't required to leave towel animals or more than 1 packet of coffee and who takes time out of their pretty busy 20 mins per room to arrange my souveniers in a cool way on the bed.
