Place to stay
Accommodation is the act of making room for something or someone, literally or figuratively.
A hotel provides accommodations—lodging and related services.
To make accommodations is to adjust arrangements for someone's needs: The school made accommodations for students with disabilities.
In vision, accommodation is the eye's automatic adjustment to focus at different distances.
The word often implies compromise or adaptation: We reached an accommodation on the disputed terms.
