Do you send a request list in advance of a stay?

I have just started putting together a list of what I'd like a hotel to provide in our room. We had a particularly poor stay in January at a hotel where we paid a lot of money. There were things that didn't occur to me to request in advance because I thought they would be standard at the price point. They weren't. I decided to put together a list of my expectations in hopes that high end stays go more smoothly for us.

Some things on my list:
  1. Ability to plug in CPAP machine by bed
  2. Desk and chair (or table and chair; my husband must be able to work on his computer)
  3. No alcohol
  4. Ice cubes
  5. Water pot so we can make tea (which we bring with us)
  6. Tea mugs
  7. Comfortable chair
  8. Footstool or hassock or ottoman - remarkably rare; I'm always perplexed about this
  9. Walk in shower rather than shower in tub
  10. Extra pillows
  11. Level floor without steps; prefer to not be in bi level room
I'd rather have these things all sorted before we arrive, rather than scrambling the first hour or two in house.

I've only been doing this the last couple months, but it is working out well. I'm curious as to who else does this and what you include if willing to share?
