Do you leave a tip for housekeeping if you're only staying one night in a hotel? (lemmy.world)

Is it a 'thank you for prepping my room' or 'please clean my room today'? If you tip post cleaning, it's likely going to someone else the next day. Many hotels now only do housekeeping on demand. How do employees feel about this - do they miss the tips or are they happy for a less stressful workday?

ETA- I'm in the US. Does the rest of the world tip housekeeping? I always have when traveling because I do at home, but I don't know what the norm is.

I personally don't want anyone going in my room while I'm there. I thought covid finally changed this when hotels started only doing housekeeping between customers, or if requested, but unfortunately it seems like they are changing this back. It just seems like a waste of labor to have someone else make my bed.

I've never tipped people going into my room. I'd do it if I made a mess or something, though.

When you check in, just tell the desk that you don't want housekeeping sitting your stay.

I sometimes leave out the do not disturb sign and then just grab fresh towels at the desk.
