accommodations
Places to stay
Accommodations are arrangements made for someone's needs.
Most often this means lodging: We booked accommodations near the beach.
In educational and workplace contexts, accommodations are adjustments made for people with disabilities: The university provides testing accommodations for students with ADHD.
The singular accommodation covers the same ground but sounds more British; Americans favor the plural even for a single hotel room.
