It helpfully answered my question about the "eco-friendly" opting out of housekeeping. It is, in fact, costing them hours - and therefore pay. It confirmed that most guests are not tipping their housekeepers, and reminded us to leave a note confirming that the money is for them, or else they are not supposed to keep it.
Three things I didn't know:
- Some
guestspeople leave such messes in the rooms that houskeepers could just cry. And sometimes they do. - "In a city like Chicago, where the majority of hotels are unionized, housekeepers make $14.60 an hour," says Strassel. "But in a city like Indianapolis, where there are no union hotels, a housekeeper at that same chain will be making about half that. There's a very wide range."
- It takes something like twice as long to prep a room for a new guest as it takes to clean another room.
