Country hotels changing Ohio (7)
I believe the answer is:
lesotho
'country' is the definition.
(Lesotho is an example)
'hotels changing ohio' is the wordplay.
'changing' is an anagram indicator.
'ohio' becomes 'o'.
'hotels' anagrammed gives 'lesoth'.
'lesoth'+'o'='LESOTHO'
(Other definitions for lesotho that I've seen before include "Country, an enclave of South Africa, capital Maseru" , "Trickery" , "Kingdom surrounded by South Africa" , "African country, formerly Basutoland" , "South African kingdom" .)
