Tipping staff at Splash Landings?

Hi everyone, this is my first post here.

I've just booked for a 2 night stay at the Splash Landings Hotel, saving 50% using the Sun code (by phone, it wouldn't work online):j.

My query is this: Is it expected that you tip the porter at the hotel? I've never stayed in a hotel before and don't want to look mean by not tipping if I'm expected to, also don't want to cause embarrassment by tipping if it's not expected!!:o

Sorry to appear thick, just never experienced it before!

Tipping is entirely up to you - do not feel obliged by convention, however if you receive service you feel is exceptional, feel free to do so. £1 per bag is fine.

Thanks Paddy, I'll see how I feel when I get there!

Anyone else been and tipped (or not!)?

Hi sorr y to hijack OP but do you know if this 50% sun offer applies to chessington holiday inn? Ive seen a few posts regarding this offer for 1 or 2 different hotels. ive got a room booked there this sunday for £215:eek: but seeing if i can find cheaper (havnt paid yet and can cancel up to 4pm doa)

I dont tip porters but then I don't really use them!! We've stayed at many top standard hotels and although they sometimes offer with bags I don't think it's quite like the American culture. I would rather carry my own bags to the room, and will gladly thank them for opening doors etc but beyond that, I have never had the need to tip them.
