If they don't do the above I do $2/ each person eating!

I would say Shuttle driver $2/person

Bellhops I always do $1/bag . . . but I never have less then 5 bags (3 girls! )

When I lived in NY I always did a 20% tip on the cab . . . I just thought that was how it was done?

Mousekeeping . . . I do $2/day and then on the last day leave a $5 or $10 depending on the service!

Hope this helps . . . tipping is so hard. I have friends that were servers and when I go to eat with them they are like leaving $20 tips, and they say you have NO IDEA how hard it is and how many people stiff you! So if the service is good I tend to OVER TIP!! Go with your gut . . . it'll never fail ya!
