Hang around the hotel too much (5)
I believe the answer is:
hover
'hang around' is the definition.
(hover can mean to linger or hang around)
'hotel too much' is the wordplay.
'hotel' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'too much' becomes 'over' (I've seen this before).
'h'+'over'='HOVER'
'the' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for hover that I've seen before include "Float hanging in the air" , "Be stationary in the air" , "Hang around (in air)" , "Remain in one place in the air" , "Float above in the air, perhaps a craft" .)
