Consider dropping "restaurant," "hotel," "guesthouse" and similar
descriptors from names in crowded areas to increase the chance that
the feature will display.

I think we should focus on representing the data accurately - rather
than modifying our data to take into account the way Google renders
things (which may very well change in the future). If there is an
issue with how Google renders things, we should post here and bug them
to fix it!

The information is still accurate, since the feature has the type
"hotel," "restaurant," and so on.
To be more clear, if the name is something like "Hotel California," I
would say that the word "Hotel" in the name should be included. If
the name is "Peninsula Hotel," I would say that it could be dropped in
a heavily developed area, such as Hong Kong.
