If the room is clean, I always leave a decent tip for housekeeping, whether a hobby rental or a family vacation.  Thanks to the hobby, I now know how nasty the bedspread really is.  Clean sheets but wash the bedspread once a year if you're lucky!  
Seriously, before the desk person leaves, I flip the bedspead up an look under the bed.  I've found all sorts of stuff under there...  don't wait until bed time!

In my experience, the staff, living in the southwest, has predominantly been Hispanic.

Myself, I'm half. So, when I greet the nice lady that is there to clean my room, I start with 'Hola. Como estas? Mi llamo Miguel, y tu?'

I'm not trying to be a smart ass like I do here. I respect their position, and their livelihood.

Wouldn't have thunk it, didya! ;)

"hola bonita, quantos dinerno para sexo contiga?"

Excuse my very, very  bad spanglish,  but I am sure you get the point.

As a reward for suffering through my butchering of the Spanish language, I am declaring "topic amnesty" for the rest of the evening. Or until I sober up, which ever comes first.

BTW I have no hispanic in me, but I have put some asian into many latinas, if that counts. lmao

I'm sure she would get the drift and so would you with a quick slap to the face. But hey you never know if you don't try. Many of the "housekeepers" are pretty cute.

So now that we have amnesty for the evening (or longer) how should we proceed????

as long as I get a lot of pussy. lol

and truth be told, I rarely get my face slapped.

As far as how to proceed, let your conscience be your guide. Just don't break too many rules, I hate to have to clean up messes the next morning, especially with a hangover.

hate it when I come in with a hangover. Their ineptitude seems to magnify. Mainly because I have no patience at that point and I really just want the day to be done and to go home.

I'm in that pleasant stage and I'll try to be nice.

But that's because I know you can appreciate that! ;)

As far as the amnesty deal, thanks a day late!

Not that it matters, because I butcher the boards all the fucking time anyway!

BTW, get with admin and see WTF about my latest review!

Should be some interesting reading! ;)

and do you really think I would moderate you for "that", what kind of pussy do you think I am?

I might moderate you for fucking with someone else, but never for fucking with me. My huevos are plenty big enough for anything you have to dish out. lol

I can't say I go out of my way to speak to housekeepers, unless they are in my path to the room. Then, it's a nod or a brief hello to act as if I belong. Smart ladies, are waiting for you and don't make you knock. I am hoping that most of them tip. I have never asked.

Hell..I AM the little people..LOL.  Actually those that labor so hard deserve far more than their employers tend to give. I tip my housekeeper at least $5 or $10 everyday...plus a nice note of appreciation.  I have yet to have one complain about messy rooms..empty champaign bottles...errant corks etc...  and God knows what they might find in my room.  Helps me..plus I really do like them.

The housekeeping staff members earn their money when I stay at a hotel. I only have to walk in a room and a whirlwind follows me in, sort of like the dust cloud that follows "Pigpen."

If I ask them to change my sheets, I'll leave $5 on the bed. If she's lucky to catch me in the room, I give her $5.

One time at Vegas, I booked a provider for a second meeting on the same trip because I won big. I got a bottle of Champagne, even though I don't drink, and put it on ice. Unfortunately, she NCNS'd and for a valid reason -- she got hurt in an accident. (I saw her a few weeks later and there were bad scars.)

The next morning when I left, I walked by a housekeeping staff who was cleaning a room. I told her that there's an unopened bottle of Champagne in my room for you. That's the biggest tip I have given.

I don't tip hotel staff UNLESS they go above and beyond the call of duty.

Extra towels
Extra pillows, coffee, toiletries, etc....

...upon entering a hotel room!  Anyone remember that show (long ago) on 20/20 where the reporter ran the black light across the bedspread?  I also used to supervise hotel maids (for a very short time), and I soon realized how the blanket and bedspread are not always changed often, only the sheets.  So, as soon as I enter the room, I pull the spread and blankets down, so only the sheets are exposed, even if I am just going to sit and watch TV.  I try not to touch that bedspread!  That 20/20 program has haunted me forever.  

During my short time supervising the hotel maids, we also found many interesting items.  Entire cut up watermelons in the bathtub.  Condoms and tighty whiteys under the lampshade, dirty diapers hidden under the edge of the bed, and many other "interesting" items.  

I love staying in hotels, so I try to block those days out of mind.  lol

Just don't be like this blogger from this article...

"one time when the maid came I hid under the bed and when she got in my room I jumped out naked waving my dick at her and laughing maniacly while hopping up and down. She ran out screaming and I wiped my ass on the sheets in her cart. another time I ejaculated on the maid when she walked in the door, and then I put some of my xanax in her cart so if she complained to her boss, I could just say that she was pissed because I was gonna rat her out for stealing my meds"
