More toast spread in accommodation for some boarders (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stateroom

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

'accommodation for some boarders' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'more toast spread' is the wordplay.
'spread' is an anagram indicator.
'more'+'toast'='moretoast'
'moretoast' anagrammed gives 'STATEROOM'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stateroom that I've seen before include "Place fit for a 27 [PRINCE]" , "Private cabin on board ship" , "Passengers's private compartment on ship" , "part of palace" , "Large private cabin on a ship" .)
