. If you select Humanitarian basename from the right hand selector, you
will see the hotel name correctly displayed. I agree that we should display
the motel's name. As Andrew suggested, check for an open ticket. If there
is one, add your comments. If there isn't one, open a new ticket. Not sure
if it is a bug or an enhancement request.

BTW - I like to keep building nodes separate from parking lot nodes. In
real life, parking lots rarely connect to buildings. And if you need to
change one, it is a pain when you have to unglue nodes. That may be just me.

Good luck,
