three-star

'another?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'hotel in woods given one rating' is the wordplay.
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'woods' becomes 'trees' (woods are made up of trees).
'given' says to put letters next to each other.
'one rating' becomes 'tar' (both can mean a sailor).
'h' inserted into 'trees' is 'threes'.
'threes'+'tar'='THREE-STAR'

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for three-star that I've seen is " Mid-range".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
