Quaint hotels (4)
I believe the answer is:
inns
'quaint hotels' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for inns that I've seen before include "More than one pub" , "Hotels" , "King's ..., for the legal eagles" , "Country taverns" , "Drinking places (frequented by barristers?)" .)
