Although it varies considerably from staying at a dump (howard johnson) tooo let's say a Fairmont, most of the rules still apply.
Anytime a service is being provided you should tip.

There are a lot of people out there who are ignorant about baggage tipping - ignorant as in unaware. A LOT of people - particularly younger people - have never stayed in anything other than a Super 8 or other motel where you lug everything yourself. It's just something in our society that has changed over the past 50 years. At our last convention, I was double tipping the baggage guys because a lot of the collegians had no clue, nor had they been informed that they needed to bring pocket money for such things - they just didn't have the $$$ on them. But then again, when I was 19, the only time I stayed in a "nice" hotel was w/ my parents.
