Small amount left in accommodation (5)
I believe the answer is:
motel
'accommodation' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'small amount left' is the wordplay.
'small amount' becomes 'mote' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'mote'+'l'='MOTEL'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for motel that I've seen before include "Lodging for drivers" , "Inn for motorists" , "Commercial accommodation" , "Drivers' accommodation" , "Kind of hostelry for car drivers" .)
