that's what I told you initially, you said tagging a node would be "wrong" and I replied it depends on the region. In Italy it seems they really associate a number to (most) entrances. Even more crazy, I have seen a number of places (different towns/villages) where the existing, old numbering  was changed (strike through of old, often stone engraved number and new number with paint or adhesive sticker). I cannot imagine any reason if not to deliberately create confusion ;-)

well, that side of the road is harder to interpret, you can't really see "property" on the road (typically the property of a house like this is divided between many parties), but the hotel is very likely one property (here numbers 5 and 7).


> it appears - but more interestingly, at the back of the hotel, there are about 4 entrances all numbered "2" and two entrances not numbered at all.


maybe these are 2A-2D and you can't see it from street view resolution wise.

I map what I see and leave interpretation to others, no number is not a problem anyway ;-)
