Hey, that's a great idea!

We always tip, of course. But by the end of the trip, especially after we've seen the print-out of the grand total charged to the room, it's sometimes feels like the proverbial straw on the camel's back!

It'd really be nice to have this already set aside so we don't have to think about it.

Ooh, ooh, ooh. And I can stash the filled envelopes in my Passporter for each day!

I never thought about putting our room number on the envelopes. Should I be doing this?

Re: tipping housekeeping?

We also stuff our envelopes in advance...that way we're not scrambling for the right break down of cash each morning.

Re: tipping housekeeping?

For REALLY LAzy people... A simple 5.00 bill wrapped in a piece of paper with handwritten Mousekeeping on the top is OK right ?
