Large room in hotel? Entirely (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hall

'large room' is the definition.
(a hall is a large room)

'hotel? entirely' is the wordplay.
'hotel?' becomes 'h' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'entirely' becomes 'all' (all can mean entirely or completely).
'h'+'all'='HALL'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for hall that I've seen before include "College dinner; passage" , "Large public building" , "Large meeting room" , "See 1" , "Large country house" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
