I use commercial and retail landuse a lot. If you plan to do some refactoring, please consider that a map is most informative if it has distinct colours. if we applied landuse=residential on hotels, it would blend in with other houses. To me, mapping non-housing areas where some kind of commercial activities are taking place in a different value is a bonus. However, we probably shouldn't have more than a handful of colors inside the same city center, maybe 4 tops.
Also, has anybody got a rule of thumb when to map a multi-use area as retail considering that it is common to see shops and cafes on the first floor of tall buildings?
