Not to mention, the national services often just wipe down surfaces, they don't clean them. When my cleaning crew is finished, you could eat off the shower floor. We have weekly service and it's worth the $75 a week we spend. We don't tip, but do give the owner a holiday tip to be spread out amongst the crew members (we dont' have the same folks every week)
