    One night's accommodation? Two nights' accommodation?

    One night's accommodation? Two nights' accommodation?

    Kommentar
    Hi, I wonder if someone could help me out with a blank I am having here. If I want to talk about accommodation, does the "night" need an apostrophe? As in "one night's accommodation" and "two nights' accommodation" or would you say "one night accommodation" and "two nights accommodation"?
    Thank you so much,
    Sal

    accommodations for one night / two nights

    I'd say

    dude's suggestion is good in AE, AFAIK. If you're writing/speaking in BE, on the other hand, accommodation is regarded as an uncountable noun and therefore sounds odd with an "s" on the end. So, in BE, you could use "accommodation for one night / two nights" or your first two suggestions: "one night's accommodation" / "two nights' accommodation". (Your other two suggestions are not correct.)
