Well, while I agree that "Amenity" is pretty general, but amenity=reception_desk is about as specific as you are likely to get. Amenity is a "go to" when a mapper is looking for a tag, new ones such as "Office" or "Booth" make the discovery process a little harder and don't, IMHO, deliver any extra clarity.
