Has anyone installed these POI? Is it possible to include the telephone number with the hotel name? I'd hate to travel miles and miles to discover there was no room at the inn  |

The telephone numbers are already added to the end of the location name.
The number doesn't display in the Selection List, but will show up in Browse Map.
You can also use a connected phone to dial the POI.

If you mean the ones from this site, I've just downloaded them and had a look and the vast majority do have the phone number already.
(Taken from a POIEdit listing so the formatting is a bit funny):
Hayle_448701977133
Truro_448701977255
Newquay_448701977194
Bodmin_448701977107
Sutton Harbour_448709906458
Lockyers Quay_448701977207
Plymouth E_448701977208
Barnstaple_448701977025
Swansea Central_448709906562
Swansea N_448701977246
Port Talbot_448701977211
etc. etc.

Go on a donkey and they'll let you sleep in the stable.

| Strangely the list from the Premier Inn site doesn't have the phone number. |

They probably want you to do on-line booking. ;)

| But if you are in a car and no where near a PC or any form of Internerd connection then what do you do? Find a Travel Lodge with Internet Access so you can then e-mail Premier Inn for a booking..... |

AIUI they prefer on-line but each Location can do it as well, on the contact number.
I assume on-line reduces their costs.

But the PGPSW one does. Wonder which is most up to date?
BTW - shouldn't this be in the POI forum? |

Theirs is also wrong.
At least three of the hotels are nowhere near where the icon appears in the map, but a multimap search by postcode is spot on.
I have contacted them, but no feedback as yet.
