Note accommodation making lockdown feature (6,8)

'note' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'accommodation making lockdown feature' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'accommodation' could be 'motel' (I've seen this before) and 'motel' is found within the answer.
'making' could be 'earning' ('earn' can be a synonym of 'make') and 'earning' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 're' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
