[OSM-talk] Tagging Love Hotels ("Brazilian Motels")

[Arlindo Pereira]

Hi there,

here in Brazil, and in most of Latin America as I can see on Wikipedia [1],
so-called "motels" are short-time hotels or "love hotels", differing from
the original concept in english (hotel for drivers). Do you think that we
should tag them differently (such as amenity=lovehotel or whatever,
tourism=lovehotel doesn't seems to fit) or keep it tourism=motel?

It's a thin line, because some love hotels ("motels" here) call themselves
"hotels" but everyone (the locals) knows that they are, in fact, love
hotels.
