Thanks!

http://osmdoc.com/en/tag/name/Holiday%20Inn =  145 (unless it  needs
wildcards  to find "Holiday Inn <town name>" etc)

conversion and import itself is pretty simple. 
But most of these hotels will exist already in osm. It's important to merge
the data and avoid duplicates. 

 
hmm, you'd be surprised how many are missing, unless the names contain
typos?
Searching for  "Holiday Inn" yields  about 536 in GeoNames, not sure about
Nominatim  as there's no  totals, but we have over  5000 of them.
 
Is there a way of counting tags/objects without downloading planet.osm?
 


try osmdoc
http://osmdoc.com/en/tags/

if it's only ~500 existing tags it's reasonable to merge it manually in
Josm.
