Where travellers can stay in Pinner (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inn

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

'where travellers can stay' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

'in pinner' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'INN' can be found hidden inside 'pinner'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inn that I've seen before include "Gray's, Lincoln's" , "Local" , "eg the Tabard" , "place to eat, drink and sleep" , "Resting place" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
