Two second-grade ratings normal for such accommodation? (3,3,9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bed and breakfast

'accommodation?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'two second-grade ratings normal' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'second' could be 're' (prefix meaning second in eg review, re-education) and 're' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for such' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bed and breakfast that I've seen before include "Fed up after retirement" , "pension?" , "Common hotel arrangement" , "B&B in full" , "Accommodation, hopefully temporary" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
