The important thing to me is that welcome amenities are commensurate with the quality of the hotel, otherwise the hotel might as well not bother, IMO. If you’re staying in a PH / RC level property and the welcome amenity is an $8 bottle of red wine that the average guest would never buy themselves it’s pointless / poorly thought out and the hotel might as well not bother (offer a decent bottle of wine / champagne or nothing at all). In contrast, that would be a fine welcome amenity in a limited service property.
