Yes, at least one dollar or at least 10% of the hotel cost (15% is nice). Leave it on the pillow when you leave the room.

Yes...it will depend on the quality of the room.
$2 per day in a moderate price hotel. $5 per day in a high end hotel. Do not wait until check out because the maids schedule can change and they might not get the same room day after day.
Tips should be left on the pillow.
Housekeepers clean approximately 14 to 18 hotels rooms per day. I use to work at hotels and their work is very hard and physical. Housekeepers really appreciate the tips more so than food servers who take it for granted. They make very little money compared to the price of the room that you pay.

A lot depends on the quality of the hotel. High quality hotels expect it. Whereas a lower price hotel is at your discretion based on length of stay and how well the room is taken care of in your abscence.

anything from $3 to $5. Each night, not at the end of your stay, because you don't know the maid's shifts, their week could start anywhere.

Yes. I always leave a tip for the maid. If she is good, I leave five dollars per day. If she isn't good, I leave a couple dollars anyway.

Yes. I do. Something small like $5.00. It maybe more or less depending on how long you stay. They provide you with a service. So give them something to show that you appreciate it, even if you didn't.

Yes. I leave $2 a day. It's a hard job and the pay is terrible. They will appreciate it.

Absolutely, a couple of dollars (depending on the cost of the room) on the pillow.

Sometimes when they've done something extraordinary or beyond the call in getting something done for me, especially late at night. Normally no because I'm cheap.
