building tag is supposed to contain how building is constructed. For

Former hotel building used as a warehouse is building=hotel.
That was the intention. But many mappers are mapping the function of the
building, not the appearance/architecture.
e.g. building=parking, office, commercial, apartments, ... all
functional rather than architecture.
The appearance of these vary widely so mappers tend to identify the use
rather than the appearance.
Just like some map tree areas as landuse=forest with little regard to
the human use of the land.

the buildings look like a hotel (or was perhaps a hotel in the
past) - but if it is just a restaurant now, then it is
building=retail.
If it is a place where you can rent a private room to sleep, it is
a building=hotel with a commercial landuse, a pin for the hotel,
and another pin for the restaurant (the lobby restaurant in
hotels is usually a separate mappable place, as it’s purpose,
operating hours, and access to the general public is different
than the hotel itself.
(...)
the building=* tag helps define the rough purpose fo the building
- but not the exact purpose. The pin or other tags on the building
do that. And that building looks like it wants to sell food to
tourists.
