reportedly vend a battery part ..Sell ..sounds like Cell

[shaneystar2]

something on the floor in the roo(m at )the hotel = Mat

mastic

I think reportedly vend a battery part is CELL - the reportedly comes before vend, so the answer sounds like sell but means a battery part. Apologies for the difference in opinion, mybutty.
