Do you usually tip for maid service in hotels when you travel?
It hadn't occurred to me to do this until I went on a trip to Mexico. But that seems different than going to Florida, because from what I understand, cleaning staff make at least minimum wage in Florida. I have difficulty tipping for something someone's already being paid to do. It's different if they go above and beyond. (but that's another debate. )
If you tip for maid service, how much do you tip? I've read that some of the people on these boards from the U.S. give a $3-$5 tip each day. That seems like a lot to me, especially given the exchange rate on the Canadian dollar. I'm looking forward to our DW trip, but everything is so much more expensive for Canadians!
