Wager hotel can accommodate woman? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beth

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'woman?' is the definition.
(woman's name)

'wager hotel' is the wordplay.
'wager' becomes 'bet' (synonyms).
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet).
'bet'+'h'='BETH'

'can accommodate' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beth that I've seen before include "Hebrew B" , "letter to the Hebrews" , "Queen, either of two" , "Hebrew letter; a Little Woman" , "Girl" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
