Not to be negative, but that sounds mostly like a Fairfield Inn experience.
I've had experiences like picking a full size bottle of wine from the Market at a Courtyard, ice cream and wine, wine and cheese and many different arrival amenities.
I've had some upgrades, and I've had good service recovery in some cases.
I don't expect the red carpet, but overall, it's been worth it to me.
Cheers,
