You asked for a review, so here it is.
The only change you did here was add "(under renovation)" to the name of the hotel. Obviously to mark that it's under renovation!
So is that OK? I dunno. It's a little tricky. The name of the hotel has not changed to add "(under renovation)" to their name. They aren't putting brackets on their signs, and they aren't ordering new stationary and letterheads. So in some ways, it's wrong to change the *name* tag like this.
OTOH, how else are we supposed to mark that someone is closed down (even temporarily)? If the hotel is still operating as a hotel, just with some scaffolding or something, then you can just leave it as an amenity=hotel tag, and leave the name the way it was originally. Maybe put something in the `description` tag.
If the hotel is closed (temporarily), it might be better to use the original name, but delete the `amenity=hotel` tag. That tag is supposed to show that "you can turn up here and pay money and stay the night". If it's closed, you can't do that, so it's wrong to have that tag. It might look like a duck, but it doesn't walk like a duck and only sorta sounds like a duck. I think this is the best approach.
There are some proposals, in OSM, for how to add these "lifecycle" attributes, but I don't think they are widely supported.
