Ordering me to liberal place to stay (5)
I believe the answer is:
motel
'place to stay' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'ordering me to liberal' is the wordplay.
'ordering' indicates anagramming the letters.
'liberal' becomes 'l' (abbreviation).
'me'+'to'='meto'
'meto' anagrammed gives 'mote'.
'mote'+'l'='MOTEL'
(Other definitions for motel that I've seen before include "Place to stay when driving" , "Motor lodge" , "Place for motorists to stay" , "Accommodation for road travellers" , "that presents chance for driver to crash" .)
