Bird allowed around hotel (6)
I believe the answer is:
linnet
'bird' is the definition.
(linnet is a kind of bird)
'allowed around hotel' is the wordplay.
'allowed' becomes 'let' (I've seen this before).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'hotel' becomes 'inn' (inn is a kind of hotel).
'let' placed around 'inn' is 'LINNET'.
(Other definitions for linnet that I've seen before include "Finch so named because it feeds on flax" , "Winger" , "Bird in the finch family" , "Songster" , "Small finch, once popular as a caged songbird" .)
