Orderly hotel in town (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neath

'town' is the definition.
(town in Wales)

'orderly hotel' is the wordplay.
'orderly' becomes 'neat' (synonyms).
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'neat'+'h'='NEATH'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for neath that I've seen before include "Under, poetically" , "Lower than - a town in West Glamorgan" , "Welsh industrial town" , "Town NE of Swansea" , "not on top" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
