OSM guide- one feature = one OSM entry

The pub, hotel and bottlo could have separate hours, phone... and 
locations.

The pub ... I'd put a node at the front bar.

The hotel ... I'd put a node at the registration 'desk'.

The bottlo ... I'd put a node at the pay point.

The parking would be a smaller area than the rest area (that would 
include hopefully a toilet, bench and a bin).

Best to avoid the issue and keep them separate entries.
