I have not been there yet but I plan to tip:

We are on the dining plan so all tips are included. So not planning on tipping extra there.

ahhh see, I will be there in Dec, so I need to budget in horse carriage. Now just where are they anyway?

We tipped:
towncar driver(we have 2 different drivers-the first was grumpy-we tipped him $15.00-the one going back was GREAT-we tipped him $20.)

person who unloaded car & brought stuff in ($5.??)

bellhop (who brought items to our room-approx. $2. per bag))

mousekeeping ($5.00 per day-there's four of us)

waitstaff (amount depended on bill)

One thing I did before our trip is make up envelopes and "earmark" them for mousekeeping, per day, plus I had another envelope with a variety of bills for other tips. Waitstaff tips were put on our room charge.

When we (6) go next summer, I intend to tip:
Baggage handler at hotel - coming and leaving 2$ per bag
Mousekeeping 6$ per day
While we will be on the dining plan, intend to leave tip according to service. DD is a Waitress and after seeing what she does, no way is 18% enough for good service!!
