I checked one of the vacation maids' stats by making her selectable and although she had 10 Cleaning and 10 Mechanical points, she only had 3 Active points. No wonder all she wants to do is stand around all day doing nothing! So I bumped that up to 10. I don't know if it will help or not, but I figured it couldn't hurt.
I would love to see a mod for 24 hour maid service. Or how about a phone option for hotels to allow guests to summon the maid when needed?

Why on earth would they make the maids lazy?!? That doesn't make sense at all!! I wonder if that's in all games? Let me know if it makes a difference, this could be a big help.
The phone option for hotels sounds great!! I would like to see that myself.
Paradoxe:
They don't "make them" lazy...It's just the game generating chaoticaly maids like any sims, or townies...without considering what exactly should be a good maid.

I spent some time last night watching the maid at one of the larger hotels on Twikki Island. I was trying to figure out why they only sometimes clean up plates from the rooms. I have decided that maid behavior is very odd. The maid spent more time going into the bedrooms and staring at the lamps than anything else. Walked past a pile of dirty dished on the lobby floor at least a dozen times to go stare at said lamps and then returned to stand around the checkout desk. Sometime toward the end of her shift she finally decided to clean up the dishes. She must have been really bored. :P

Ooh, I noticed the staring at lamps behaviour :D I wonder if she would work more if we removed the lamps.

Got the same thing. I have two sims on honeymoon and I figured that they had better things to do with their time than clean up dishes (both of them are neat freaks). Consequently, I have aborted a number of autonomous clean up dishes actions on both of them, with the result that the lawn of the hotel is covered in fly infested plates (at least 8 squares). The maid is pretty good about making the beds and doing the bathroom, but ignores the plates on the ground as she goes past them. Still waiting for her to pick those up, but perhaps the hotel grounds are "not in her contract".
