Hotel breakfasts can be found in many forms, from a-la-carte restaurants which costs aren’t included in the room, to expensive room service, to free continental breakfasts. In the case of the latter, obviously, it is worth it to consume your breakfast at the hotel. However, things aren’t always as clear when that isn’t the case.

Many hotels offer an add-on to room rates that include breakfast, and other hotels typically post their menus and their prices online, both of which can help you decide whether or not it’s worth paying for.

One thing to keep in mind is whether or not there are other places to have breakfast near the hotel. If you see that there are cool breakfast spots nearby with cheaper prices than the hotel, it’s a no-brainer to skip the hotel’s offering.

However, if you see that your hotel is not in close proximity to better (or any) options, it might be better for you to make things easier and just eat at the hotel even if you have to pay extra.

Keep an open mind and do your research beforehand, and you won’t have to stress when it comes to deciding your breakfast plans on your next vacation.

Bellmen

Bellmen do an important job in hotels, parking valet vehicles, and taking bags to and from rooms. Whenever you use a bellman’s services, it is nice to give them a tip that varies depending on how tough the job was.

A good rule of thumb is around $5 per bag and anywhere from $3 to $5 for parking or taking out a vehicle.

Housekeeping

The housekeeping staff is the hidden heroes of a hotel, ensuring that both common spaces and guest rooms are kept spotless, hygienic, and clean.

Leaving between $5 and $10 per night a member of the staff cleans your room is a fair way to show appreciation for their difficult, underpaid work.

Restaurant Staff

Most hotels these days also have a restaurant and the tipping rules for eating out in whichever country you are visiting generally apply to restaurant waitstaff as well. Do not forget about tipping them simply because you aren’t “going out” to eat!
