Perhaps a place in hotel raised charge to stay (7)
I believe the answer is:
moorage
'charge to stay' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'perhaps a place in hotel raised' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' becomes 'eg' (for example).
'a place in hotel' becomes 'aroom' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'raised' says the letters should be written backwards (going up in a down clue).
'eg'+'aroom'='egaroom'
'egaroom' written backwards gives 'MOORAGE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for moorage that I've seen before include "Securing of craft" , "Anchorage N or charge for using it!" , "Making fast" , "Place to fasten" , "The price for stopping" .)
