how much of a tip should you leave in a hotel room?
1 Tip according to service and hotel type. 2  In a luxury hotel, tip about $3-5 each night. 3  For an average hotel, $1-2 per night is fine. 4  If the maid goes above and beyond in service, such as providing extra soaps and shampoos or folding towels in the shape of swans (for example), feel free to leave a dollar or two more.
