Day-Use

A room sold for daytime use only, typically between 9am and 6pm, without an overnight stay. Day-use rooms are sold at a discounted rate and allow the same room to be sold again for the regular overnight period.

Why it matters: Day-use rooms generate incremental revenue from inventory that would otherwise sit empty during the day. They are particularly effective at airport hotels, business-district properties, and during low-occupancy periods when evening demand is uncertain.
