[OSM-newbies] Motel names not showing up on OSM?

[Charlotte Wolter]

Sebastian,

         You should follow Clifford's advice. It is a pain to fix 
things that are glued together and should not be.
         A parking lot is ADJACENT to a hotel, but it is not part of 
the hotel. Also, if one wants to make change to either, they will 
have to be unglued. This is quite difficult to do, when, for example, 
one wants to change a way that has been glued to an adjacent field.
         Thanks for your work and enthusiasm.

Best,

Charlotte Wolter
