I leave a few dollars on one of the tables for the maid when I leave.
I've only really handed money to a woman once and that was when I stayed at a place for three or four nights (not the brightest, but I was really only seeing two guys, one once, and one three times.) I had her change my sheets in the middle of the second day, and handed her a five.

Ive left money after leaving.
I try to get rid of towels and such as i go along, however at the end i end up with towels, floor mats etc. for them to clean.




I don't know...in that case, I'd tip them $5-10, probably just $5.

What is you guys' take on valet, especially during outcalls? It occurred to me that the same staff might wind up seeing you frequently and catch on, and also when you go to pick up your car they'd be able to see that you only dropped your car off a few hours ago. Do you think using valet raises red flags for the staff that might lead to them tipping off LE? And would tipping them very well help take care of it if they suspected you were an escort? I hate using self-park at hotels but I wondered if it might be a better way to stay under the radar.





^ I'd think the suspicion is a lot less IF the hotel has a nice bar or restaurant attached ( which many do ) . Valet doesn't really make a habit of following ladies to see where they are going and it would take 3-4 or MORE times to probably even register you as a familiar face. I'd say you could park valet 5-7 times in a two week period and not have anything questioned. If you are showing up every few days though ..... yeah .... you might start to get recognized.





For tips at hotels, I do a few bucks if they help with bags and 2-3 for maid each day. I feel bad now because sometimes, I don't tip maids and this is making me want to now. ;(




Just consider it 'good customer service', and thank them. You could even say something 'uncertain' like "I'm here for a breakfast meeting", and not sure if it will extend longer...
(Sometime hotel valet parking is actually less than the regular rate -When my Porsche was new, I used to have it valet parked at the Bostonian, say something like "I'm meeting someone here for drinks" and slip out the side door and go where ever, that way it didn't get driven to their garage and was ready when I got back - for less $...)
If you're doing it regularly, maybe carry a stylish laptop bag to complete the look? Own it. Be prepared to say you're a web designer, entertainment consultant, etc...





There's a school of thought that says over-tipping maids will get them to ignore the obvious. I know a lot of escorts and none of them think it's a good idea to blatantly over-tip. The idea when you are working out of a hotel is to stay under the radar, not draw attention to yourself.
It's common for all guests to tip bellman, maids and valets. I've tipped valets to keep my car out front when I was doing an in call but a man alone will never attract the same kind of attention that a woman will. To think you are fooling anyone with a story is never a good idea. It's smarter to keep a low profile and not give anyone a reason to wonder what you are up to. Of course, it's also entirely possible that hotel staff know what you are up to and simply don't care. Hotels are in business to rent rooms, not ask questions.




So funny story about this...
My husband was on a business trip at a 4 star hotel for an extended period of time. I was going to fly out and join him for the last half of the trip, when his business part was mostly done.
So I get there and the staff instantly thinks I am an escort and start treating me with that "eww poke poke glare" kind of attitude. Then I find out my husband hasn't been tipping the staff at ALL during his visit. The maid was so pissed off she didnt even clean his room anymore.
So I googled tipping etiquette and started tipping all the staff the right amount (maid, valet, room service, etc) and by the time the trip was over they all loved me to death rofl.
So yes, I would say TIP. You're a guest there, it doesn't matter what kind of guest, and guests are supposed to tip!
Yes, I'm real.
