While there are many generally accepted tipping standards for hotels and restaurants, fewer guidelines exist for motels. Motels usually provide limited services for short-term stays with few, if any, amenities. However, certain motel services should be recognized with a tip when the services are provided in an efficient, friendly manner.

Counter Clerk
Unlike hotels and resorts, motels rarely provide convenience services, such as concierge, car and room service. If additional services are available, in most cases, they're provided by the motel’s counter clerk when the clerk isn't preoccupied with his immediate desk responsibilities. If the motel clerk provides you with assistance, such as providing directions or calling you a cab, it's appropriate to tip the clerk for those concierge-related services. Tips for these services should begin at $5 per assistance and increase based on the complexity of the assistance provided.
Baggage
In most cases, the motel check-in process simply involves registering with the clerk, signing for your key and letting yourself into the room. However, if you have a lot of luggage and a motel attendant helps you unload it from your vehicle, it's appropriate to offer a tip. Similar to hotel baggage assistance, you should tip $1 to $2 per bag.
Housekeeping
If your motel stay lasts just one night, it isn't necessary to tip the housekeeper or maid for their cleaning service. However, if your motel stay lasts multiple nights, it's appropriate to tip the maid for any services provided during your stay. Comparable to hotel housekeeping, you should tip motel housekeeping attendants $1 to $3 per night for cleaning. If you're not able to hand the money to the housekeeper, leave the tip on the pillow so that the housekeeper knows that the money is left for this purpose. Avoid leaving tips on nightstands or tables. Housekeeping staff are commonly instructed never to remove the guest’s personal belongings, including money that is left on nightstands and tables. Removing money from these locations can be construed as theft and may result in the housekeeper’s termination.
Considerations
Though services may be limited in the motel environment, it's certainly appropriate when additional services and conveniences are offered. Provide cash tips directly to the worker or attendant who provided the service to ensure that the correct person receives the tip. Feel free to adjust the tip for exceptional or poor service, and always accompany the tip with a “thank you.”
