I can’t quickly find any of the Holiday Inn places you mention, but the
buildings with the eatbu address seem wrong.

The brief cs comment often says “building added, merged with node” and to
me the merge seems a likely source of the error. I’d say the building
should be tagged for itself, with a node for the holiday apartment
separately - with link to the website if that’s appropriate.

I do wonder what London will look like if every AirBnB gets added to the
map like this. Maybe that’s all good, and renderers can deprioritise the
resulting rash. But also wonder if the on the ground rule requires that
what looks indistinguishable from any old private door, shouldn’t get a
special tag.
