Is there a reason why housekeeping wouldn't accept a tip?

Very important thing i learned from my mom who worked wirh the mayor of the Town of mandeville. When a room is occupied never assume that money left in a room is a tip if left on a table or even fallen on the floor they might come looking for it and it puts you in an embarrassing position. Tip should be left under the pillow, often times i travel with a notebook so i leave. Thanks all

Generally, when I tip hotel housekeeping in the US (and there’s not an envelope provided for that purpose), I’ll leave it on the unmade bed with a note that says “thank you.” This makes it very obvious that the money is intended for the housekeeper as a tip (instead of money you accidentally left out).

I’ve still had one or two housekeepers refuse the tip, but they left a reply on my thank you note saying they’d prefer not to receive a tip, so again, it was unambiguous.

It sounds like you are leaving a tip during your stay, rather than when you check out.

If you are still occupying the room, then the housekeeper will assume that it is just cash you forgot to put in your pocket. If you want to give it to them while you are still using the room, leave it in an envelope labeled to the housekeeper or give it to them yourself.

Or do like many folks and simply leave a tip when you check out (in the room or at the front desk).
