Hotel Tipping: Your Personal Guide

Tipping can be very confusing during your hotel stay. Why should you tip, when should you tip, who should you tip and how much should you tip are all questions that you need to face when it comes to your hotel stay. To help you relax during your trip let's run through each of these questions.

1. Space and Privacy As I have said, privacy was one thing that I was looking for on my honeymoon but you don't need to be getting married to want your space. If you are staying at a B&B you will notice that the rooms are comparatively larger, the hallways less crowded, and the guests fewer. Definitely the opposite of a hotel.

The other guests staying at your B&B will not be a milling of faces constantly in the way. There will probably only be a few other guests and d you may actually get to know them quite well. New friends, I think so. The space and privacy are huge winning points for B&B's. Much more like staying at home than a hotel.

The hotel must find you another place to stay that is comparable to your original booking. They are required to give you a free phone call (although with everyone having cellphones seems rather unnecessary). Also, if it is needed the hotel is required that you receive transportation to you're the new hotel. Avoid Getting Walked Now that you know there will be a shortage of rooms the next question is how to avoid being the individual who is walked.

1. Come early - Individuals who come early are most likely to receive the room. If you are arriving late in the evening there is a good chance that all of the rooms have been filled. If you are afraid you may be walked make sure to arrive in the morning or early afternoon.

2. Avoid One Night stays if possible because you will among the first to be walked.

If you are planning on tipping throughout your trip make sure to keep plenty of dollar bills with you. It is extremely awkward to give a large tip and then ask for change. Carry those singles. There are some hotels where tipping is not expected because they add a gratuity charge to your hotel stay. This is especially typical of bed and breakfasts. If you are confused about the tipping policies call ahead for information. Often returning to New York for business I would stay in hotels in Norwalk Connecticut to avoid the rush of the city in the evening. I realized that if I always stayed at the same hotel I needed to tip well because the staff remembers me and give great service.

5. Extra Activities Along with your hotel stay come a number of other perks you can participate in. Depending on your location these may come with the package or you may have to shell out a few extra but they can be worth it. A few of the locations I was looking at online included horseback riding, boat rentals, and outdoor theatres. Even if you are on a business trip your stay can be a mini vacation, make sure to check out the activities offered.

6. Romantic Getaway Finally, the reason why I am looking for them in the first place, romance. Not to say that just about anyone can enjoy a B&B but they make a great getaway for couples. Whether it be your honeymoon or just a few days together a Bed and Breakfast offers seclusion, quiet, and time together. All of this without costing you your kid's college education. As you are reading this blog I am guessing you plan on staying at a Bed and Breakfast.

This is not much but at least it is something to differentiate you from the other hotel guests. Being a member is very valuable in smaller hotels like Hotel Zero a boutique hotel in Norwalk, CT. The hotel may not have a choice to walking you at times but a nice feature about being a valued customer is that the hotel may walk you in advance allowing you to change your plans before you arrive.
