Sell one before hotel gets turned over (4)
I believe the answer is:
flog
'sell' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'one before hotel gets turned over' is the wordplay.
'one before hotel' becomes 'golf' (G before H in NATO phonetic alphabet).
'gets turned over' says the letters should be written backwards.
'golf' reversed gives 'FLOG'.
(Other definitions for flog that I've seen before include "Scourge, whip" , "Lash" , "Beat with whip or slangily sell" , "- - a dead horse" , "Exchange for money" .)
