Motel relative (3)
I believe the answer is:
inn
'motel relative' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for inn that I've seen before include "European river" , "Tavern with lodgings" , "Gray's, Lincoln's" , ". . . of the Sixth Happiness (film)" , "Swiss river" .)
