Uhmm, difficult, because the linked wikipedia article refers to rest 
area _and_ service area.

I would differ between
highway=rest_area as rest area (min. parking and rest rooms, may be a 
picnic area or a very small kiosk, but no further service)
and
highway=services as service area. (min. any 'full' service like refuel, 
restaurant, accomodation)

Possibly, at least I am expecting a fuel service at highway=services - 
but that may be a result of my german / european practice.
I do not know of service areas with accomodation only, just of fuel and 
optional restaurant, optional accomodation.
