Woodhaven Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 How much is fair and customary to give a porter at a large hotel like the Hyatt Regency Atlanta or the Marriott Atlanta Marquis? Personally, I would be glad to take the cart and bring my luggage in and out myself. Actually, I would prefer it. However, since the hotel does not make that possible and I will have a lot of stuff, I need to know how much money to give the porter. Thanks!!!!

Stacia Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I always thought it was about $1 per bag (w/ about $10 max, unless you have about 400 suitcases), but my numbers may be out of date at this point.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodhaven Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 Yes, I've seen $1 per bag. But I wasn't sure about a whole cart. There will be a computer or two, a suit case, and a couple of those large plastic tubs, pillows, and other bags. The boys can carry their own backpacks and chess bags.

I'd probably give $10 for an entirely full cartload like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodhaven Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Thanks. That is about what I was thinking - possibly $15. Since I don't have experience with this I thought I should ask around. I don't want to insult anyone. : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiMi 4under3 Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 $15 sounds like too much (to me.) $1 per bag / $10 max sounds more reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
