I am trying not to be critical but this is not a good approach. OP is just going to be disappointed if OP actually feels entitled to welcome amenities. OP may just misunderstand and think welcome amenities are an entitlement.
The only time I ask is when the hotel asks me first, usually a GH/PH pre-arrival note. For Hyatts, I pretty much have one response for when I'm with family (crib, 2x XL robes and 1x kids robe if available, sparkling water, etc.), one for me arriving solo but late (would love a little wine and cheese before bed etc), and one for me arriving solo but early (could really use a 1pm check in etc).
all that said, OP almost certainly already has the "grubbing grifter" designation in OP's profile, so... might as well lean into it?!
