Couch Surfing: A Haven For Travelers

By Hedrick Lepsch


Who should you tip? How much is too much? What services have you been missing? How much cash should you bring into the Albuquerque hotel so you're ready to reward every helper? Unfortunately, much of this is relative to you. Tipping is a social nicety to reward the good help of those that take time to help you.

If their service is bad then you reserve the right to tip low, or not at all. If their service is good, then you tip them according to your heart. Fortunately, there are decent ranges that you can work off of so you can tip with confidence. The following are a few of the most common ranges to tip your Albuquerque hotel staff should you require any of their services.

Couch surfing offers a cheaper alternative to staying in places like hotels in Albuquerque. When you're on a budget or plan on travelling a lot, you look for ways to save as much money as possible. Couch surfing is a great opportunity for people to do just that. Not only that but you gain the expert advice and company of natives of the land.

If you're looking for the best local places to eat, just ask your host. If you want to go for a night on the town, who better to be your guide than those that own homes in that city-assuming they have the time? Not only that, but you make lasting connections with people around the world, building a network of friends that you couldn't have met any other way. Making acquaintances on a trip make the trip that much better.

Third, tip your bellhop when you get to the room. This tip is bases a lot of the number of your bags rather than the service as a whole. If you're asking them to carry four bags to the furthest room on the tenth floor, then reward them per bag carried. One to two dollars should be sufficient, but consider more if the bellhop had to take them an extraordinarily long distance.

Why are these hotels doing this? It's pretty simple really. As history has frequently proven, often times it's the small things that matter. Little perks make humans do incredible things. Fans go wild hoping to catch a squishy promotional ball at a basketball game. People run marathons to get a free t-shirt. People travel across town to go to the restaurant just for that special dipping sauce.

Fifth, tip your room service. Tip them like you would a waiter. Fifteen percent of the bill is standard, but never tip fewer than two dollars. Check beforehand to ensure gratuity isn't already included (because some Albuquerque hotels include it in the bill).

Sixth and finally, your concierge will get one of the greatest tips out there, but only if they provide exceptional attention (more than providing directions or answering simple questions). If they go above and beyond in their service, then you should try to tip them between five and twenty-five dollars.

You couldn't expect many of the luxuries that come with hotels because everything has its pros and cons. Should you want for those luxuries, need your own place to yourself, or want to stay for an extended period of time, the hotels in Albuquerque will always be there to provide these comforts.
