Hotel Tipping

[Kaycon]

Hi - I've got a question for anyone - We stayed at the HRH 2 years ago and are going back in May. How does everyone handle tipping the waitresses and the pool bar? I know they add on a gratuity, but should it be left at that? I feel bad not adding anything?

Thanks for any help!!!

I only give extra if they deserve it. I've had some indifferent service in the past. If she;s friendly and fast, I tip a little extra. $1 for every 2 drinks.

Or pretend to be English, like us, and act daft....we don't do tipping in England (only joking) Agree with above thread...we are staying at HRH May 20th. What date are you going?

I didnt know that! What % do they add?

We will be at the HRH May 9 - 14. I'm not sure of the % the waitresses and pool bar add to your order, I just know that they did this 2 years ago! Does anyone know the %?

Last Sept. I took my fam. to DW and stayed at coronado resort. I had the dining plan, which everyone knows that tips are already included. I sat down for a Counter Service breakfast, the server did not bring my dds hot chocolate nor my water. I did not leave extra tip-he did not deserve it at all. He gave me a nasty look the following morning as I had my CS breakfast again, in the same place. He did not want to take care of us-he asked the person sitting us down to sit us in the other side. I was so glad he did. Our server was the sweetest lady, that loved my daughters and was great with us. I ended up giving her a $10 tip in addition to what she was receiving. She did not want to accept it because the tip was already included. I told her to make sure and mention to her co-worker that a little bit of niceness-goes a long way. My husband doubled what I gave her because she was soooo nice. I had breakfast at the same place with the same waitress for the remainder of my vacation. She was great.
