Hotel Guest Etiquette
People you should tip:
- Parking valet - on drop-off and pick-up of your vehicle
- Doorman - on arrival and departure
- Porter - after bags have been picked up
- Concierge - if you have been working with the concierge. At the end of the hotel stay
- Restaurant servers - 10 - 15 - 20%
- Cleaning staff - on the desk or dresser in a visible location each morning. Leave a note saying it is okay to take the money as a tip
Hotel Room Etiquette
- Treat all the furniture and fixtures in the room with care.Never take reusable items when you leave.
- You may take consumables such as shampoo, conditioner, soap, and lotions. However, bathrobes, towels, dishes, glasses, mugs, coffee pots, irons, and other objects are there for use only during your hotel stay.
- Be a good neighbor. Keep the noise down with the television, music, voices and anything that could disrupt the people next door. If someone else is noisy, call the front desk. Don't confront them let the hotel staff work it out.
- Before you leave the room for the day, put your dirty towels in a pile on one spot of the bathroom floor. Don't leave trash lying around. Dispose of it in trash receptacles.
- Do not answer the door unless you are fully dressed.
Common Areas and Facilities
- Be quiet when walking through the hallways after 9 p.m. and before 8 a.m.
- Do not slam your hotel door shut.
- Keep your children controlled in open areas. No screaming or running around.
- When entering the elevator move to the very back so others can board. Push floor buttons when everyone is in the elevator.
- While waiting for the elevator, don't stand in front of the elevator. Stand to the side so riders can exit.
- Pay attention to the gym and pool rules.
Checkout
- Be sure to check out on time. If you need to store your baggage, ask the porter station to hold your bags. They will give you a ticket to claim your bags later.
Happy Travels!
