Cancel opening of N European hotel (3)
I believe the answer is:
inn
'hotel' is the definition.
(inn is a kind of hotel)
'cancel opening of n european' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'n' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'in' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for inn that I've seen before include "Jamaica, for one" , "watering hole" , "place to eat, drink and sleep" , "Roadhouse" , "Resting place" .)
