Where one may sleep in Hollywood or Malibu (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dorm

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

'where one may sleep' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'in hollywood or malibu' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'DORM' is hidden within 'hollywood or malibu'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dorm that I've seen before include "Where retired people may be seen" , "Place to retire" , "Where kippers might be" , "overnight accommodation" , "Communal bedroom in boarding school" .)
