And searching for "arlo williamsburg" shows this location, regardless of its name.

I haven't heard of Lyft or Uber use OSM for POIs. Lyft does use OSM for the underlying map, for their internal route/price estimation, etc, but I haven't heard them using OSM for POIs. I haven't seen Uber do anything with OSM, at least not in NYC.

It seems strange that you'd want your customers to be forced to type the full branded hotel name rather than just the main name and be shown all the relevant entries. For example, I just tried searching for "arlo" Organic Maps and Mapy.cz and all locations came up regardless of their full name. Search engines are not that dumb.

Instead of deleting this node with all the correct information, you could've just simply move it to where it actually it.

Don't these usually last for a month or even less? Does it make sense to map such temporary biz?

Hello.
Could you please elaborate what is that pickle ball court you mapped? It doesn't match any of the available satellite imagery. It looks like there's a building there.

OSM must NOT be used for SEO shenanigans. It is about accuracy of data.
This business is called Arlo Hotels. Your own account is called Arlo Hotels, not Arlo Williamsburg.
Williamsburg is just a single location of this business. As such the location description is encoded in branch= tag.

And it still doesn't explain why you deleted a valid wikidata tag...

I see what you mean. But in addition to just mapping the curb you should've also mapped the driveway way as well. And position the curb where it is actually is, and not on the sidewalk..

Also please note that you can NOT use Google Maps or Streetview to map in OSM under any circumstances. It is a copyright violation and a violation of TOS between you and OSM, and you and Google. Any changes based on Google's imagery will be reverted outright.

Most of the time if businesses change, they change phone numbers. Leaving old phone numbers, especially for medical offices is potentially dangerous.

Hello.
Could you please elaborate why did you draw another building on top of an existing one in Gerritsen Beach?
Also Harbor Fitness in Mill Basin should've been mapped as a node/POI rather than another building on top of existing one.

Hello.
You updated Investors Bank into Citizens Bank, but kept the same phone number. Is that accurate?
Similar with the 2 medical offices, their names changes but phone numbers remained the same?

Hello.
Please do use meaningful changeset comments - “h” does not help other mappers understand what you are doing.

Hello.
This is not a correct way to map bike lanes.
That information is already mapped using tags on the street itself.

Hello.
Please note that it's very important to accurately and correctly tag crosswalks if they are controlled by traffic lights or stop signs.
Additionally, it is important to connect crosswalks to their intersecting streets to be able to create a complete and accurate routing map.

141777789

Hello.
Could you please elaborate why did you delete wikidata tag? It is a valid tag that links to this feature.
The hotel's name is Arlo. Williamsburg is the location description and as such it goes into the branch= tag. Why did you delete it?

Hello.
What is the meaning of addr:unit="30th St"? Suite 30? 30th Floor? 30th Street?
What is "St" in opening_hours= tag?
As clearly documented in description=* the description= tag must NEVER be used for any type of advertising or promotional messaging. It must be neutral tone informational text.
As documented in phone=*#Usage the phone= tag must include country code(in US it's +1) and phone number must be separated only by space or dash, not ( ).
