Crossword Genius

Is including two names for hotels (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inns

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

'hotels' is the definition.
(inn is a kind of hotel)

'is including two names' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'names' could be 'nn' (an abbreviation for name twice) and 'nn' is present in the answer.
'is' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inns that I've seen before include "Locals" , "Places of rest and sustenance for travellers" , "Places to stay" , "Public houses" , "Drinking places (frequented by barristers?)" .)
