methinks

'i would say' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'satisfied with hotel signs' is the wordplay.
'satisfied' becomes 'met' (as in 'met the conditions of his contract').
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'signs' becomes 'inks' (inking is a kind of signing).
'met'+'h'+'inks'='METHINKS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for methinks that I've seen before include "I reckon" , "I feel ..." , "I believe" , "In my view - knit hems (anag)" , "My opinion is (old-fashioned)" .)
