[OSM-talk] POI for Hotel

[Jaakko Helleranta.com]

+1 for # of rooms. It's pretty much the same as # of parking spots in a parking lot, imho.

As per prices I think hotel prices are not _that_ different from toll prices (at highways, parking, etc). For hotels, I'd opt for a price range system rather than exact prices, though, due to both the range of prices as well as price changes over time (due to inflation).
A bit similar as the hotel ranking star system but classes for eg
cheap, inexpensive, mid-range, costly, expensive, shit-expensive?

Cheers,

probably this is offtopic in this thread, but the number of rooms
would be an interesting information to roughly tell how important a
hotel is. I would like to have this in OSM. Prices on the other hand
are also of interest if you look for a hotel, but there is currently
no hope to keep this information up to date (and usually there are
lots of prices, dependent on the particular room (view/orientation,
location, size, ...).


cheers,
Martin
