In an attempt to rival my Tipping at Sonic thread, and because I'm fixin' to check out from a 3 week hotel stay:
Do you ever tip housekeeping after/during a hotel stay?

Not in the US.
Interesting. Why not in the U.S.?
I usually leave the maid about $2.00 per day. But that's on a daily basis.
Depending on quality of service, when I do, It's between 2 and 5 dollars a night.
Looks like I'm in the minority but it does reap some rewards tipping the maid service.
I've returned to my room to find everything from bottled water to handfulls of mints to sodas, etc...
Plus I always seem to have the softest pillows.
YMMV

Depends on the quality of the call girl that was delivered... obviously! Duh!
Spending years in the oil field, I have stayed from a night to a month in a hotel. If they take care of me then I leave a tip. When the guys would have a few beers and leave the bottles in the room, I tip more. I have found that the hotels you stay in alot will really take care of you. The Holiday Inn at Midland Tx would give us a keep to the pool room so that we could go late at night if we wanted. We could leave our dirty clothes in the floor and when we come in at night, they were washed and folded on the bed. They never charged us. I stayed there about every other week, sometimes a week or two at a time. I am sure that makes a difference. It seems in most of the places I have stayed you get a little extra service when you tip. We stayed in Houston for about two weeks and I would leave a 5 or 10 under a beer bottle every morning. When I when to check out, the girls had left a Thank You note at the front desk for me.
I do not, but then I do not utilize the maid services; I place the do not disturb sign up during my stay. Seriously, they give me enough towels for 3 weeks! That and I habitually straighten a hotel bed before I leave the room in the morning. I have my own toiletries, so the others sit unopened and undisturbed on the counter. I do not use the coffee makers or anything either. I am likely the most unobtrusive guest a hotel ever sees.
I also cart my on luggage (1 carry-on suitcase will work 5 days/4 nights for me), so no tip there.
I will tip for the free breakfast though, if it is type of place that offers table service (i.e. fills your coffee, etc...) or makes omelets to order.
