Hangs around hotel with deliveries (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hovers

'hangs' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'hotel with deliveries' is the wordplay.
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'deliveries' becomes 'overs' (cricket term).
'h'+'overs'='HOVERS'

'around' is the link.

(Other definitions for hovers that I've seen before include "Floats above" , "Hangs in the air without moving" , "Hangs in the air (unable to decide?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
