Hotel room may have this ban on short skirt (7)

I believe the answer is:

minibar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'hotel room may have' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'ban on short skirt' is the wordplay.
'ban' becomes 'bar' (I've seen this in other clues).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'short skirt' becomes 'mini' (mini skirt).
'bar' after 'mini' is 'MINIBAR'.

'this' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for minibar that I've seen before include "Hotel bedroom fridge" , "cooler for hotel guest?" , "Hotel room chiller?" , "Temptation in hotel room" , "Source of hotel room drinks" .)
