Doormen 门卫
Depending on the amount of luggage, tip $1 to $2 to the doorman who takes your bags and turns them over to a bellman. If you are visiting and have no luggage, you naturally do not tip him for simply opening the door for you. Tip him again when you leave with your luggage as he takes it from the bellman and assists 2 you in loading it in your car or into your taxi.

给门卫的小费数目取决于行李的多少,为你拿行李并把它递给行李员的门卫要付给1至2美元的小费。如果你没有行李,通常就不必为他们只为你开门这样简单的服务付费。当你带着行李准备离开饭店而门卫从行李员手中接过行李并帮你把它放入你的车子或出租车里时,你还应该付给他小费。当门卫为你叫了一辆出租车时,你应该付他1至3美元(如果他为了叫辆出租车而不得不在雨中站着时,你的小费应该给得更多些。)
Bellman 行李员

一个行李包要付1美元的小费,但对于把行李送到客房的行李员要付给2元以上的小费。当行李员为你做了一些特殊的事情,比如替你购物或把你需要的东西送到客房(但不属于客房服务范畴)等,他应该得到2至3美元的小费。
Maid 清理房间的女服务员
For stays of one night or more, the maid should be tipped $2 per night per person in a large hotel; $1 per night per person in a less expensive hotel. Give the maid her tip in person, if she can be found. If not, put it in a sealed envelope marked "chambermaid"。
