Being a non native speaker of English, this type of sentence always bites me:
It was a pleasant four hours journey from Nashik to Pune.
Should it be hour or hours?
Answer
As kiamlaluno comments, the standard form is a two-hour wait, three-man band, four-course meal...
Although not everyone always bothers with the hyphen, you should include it if you want your written form to be above criticism. But never pluralise the "unit" (two-hour, three-day, four-month, six-foot, etc.).
