Overnight accommodation with neat container for hats (7)

I believe the answer is:

bandbox

'container for hats' is the definition.

'overnight accommodation with neat' is the wordplay.
'overnight accommodation' becomes 'bandb' (B and B is a bed and breakfast).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'neat' becomes 'ox' (I've seen this in other clues).
'bandb'+'ox'='BANDBOX'

(Another definition for bandbox that I've seen is " Carrier for hats".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
