roomy

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

'like hotel accommodation?' is the definition.
The definition and answer are not the same part of speech.

'like hotel accommodation?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'like' could be 'y' (similar in meaning) and 'y' is found within the answer.
'accommodation?' could be 'room' (eg a hotel room) and 'room' is located in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roomy that I've seen before include "Extensive" , "Without cramping" , "Not cramped" , "generous" , "Spacious, can swing a cat in it" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
