Is it legal for hotels to prohibit customers from bringing their own drinks or to charge a "bottle opening fee"?

In the form of shop notices, hotels prohibit consumers from bringing their own drinks or charging "bottle opening fees" to customers who bring their own drinks, which violates the relevant provisions of the Consumer Protection Law and infringes on consumers' right to choose independently. The so-called "independent choice" means that consumers have the freedom to choose the operators who provide goods or services, choose the varieties of goods or services, decide whether to buy any kind of goods, accept or not accept any kind of services as much as possible. In fact, hotels are forbidden to bring their own drinks, which deprives consumers of their choice in disguise. In this regard, Article 26 of the Law on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests stipulates that business operators shall not make unfair and unreasonable provisions to consumers by means of shop notices, format clauses, notices and statements. , otherwise the clause will be invalid. In short, it is illegal for hotels to prohibit customers from bringing their own drinks or to charge a "corkage fee".
