After more than ten years selling day-use hotel rooms, the company added traditional overnight bookings at HotelsByDay at Night. Day stays are booked on HotelsByDay.com. Overnight stays are booked at night.hotelsbyday.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eleven years ago, we started with a simple idea: a hotel room shouldn&#8217;t only be useful at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes you need a room for a few hours during the day. Sometimes you need the night. And over the years, it became clear that we wanted to be able to serve both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So we launched<a href=\"https:\/\/night.hotelsbyday.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> night stays<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here are the five biggest reasons why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u21165. <\/strong>Hotels had overnight rooms available<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more than ten years, we heard a similar message from hotel partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some loved the idea of day stays but didn\u2019t always have the staffing to manage additional room turns during the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then they\u2019d say, \u201cBut nights? We have rooms available.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We heard it often enough to pay attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Night stays opened the door to work with more hotels and give our guests access to more places to stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u21164. Daycations naturally turn into staycations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You arrive at a resort in the morning, spend the afternoon by the pool, have a great meal and start thinking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why leave?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For years, the answer was unsatisfactory. Your day stay was ending, and we couldn\u2019t offer the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We wanted guests to have another option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A daycation doesn\u2019t always have to end when the sun goes down. Sometimes you want to stay a little longer and turn it into a weekend escape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u21163. We always wanted to complete the 24-hour cycle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hotels have traditionally been built around one thing: the overnight stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HotelsByDay challenged that by showing that hotel rooms can be useful during the hours in between, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changing long-established hospitality habits takes time, but we\u2019ve spent more than a decade proving that travelers want flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Day stays gave us one slice of the clock pie.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Night stays complete the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now we can serve guests throughout the full 24-hour travel cycle, a very first in the travel industry!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u21162. Our day ended at 6 p.m. Your travel day didn\u2019t.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This was one of the biggest gaps we wanted to fix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our day-stay timebands generally ended by 6 p.m. So when someone needed a room later in the evening, we couldn\u2019t help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe your flight lands at 10 p.m. and your next one leaves early the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t need a week at a hotel. You just need a bed, a shower and a few hours of sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those are exactly the kinds of travelers we\u2019ve always wanted to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u21161. Daycations. Staycations. Vacations.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the bigger vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes you need a hotel for a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes you want a <a href=\"https:\/\/blog-test.hotelsbyday.com\/blog\/day-use-overnight-weekend-hotel-stays\/\">hotel weekend<\/a> away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes you\u2019re heading off on a full vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We want to be part of all of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Daycations. Staycations. Vacations.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Book your stay through<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotelsbyday.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> HotelsByDay<\/a> or<a href=\"https:\/\/night.hotelsbyday.com\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> HotelsByDay at Night<\/a>, with more flexibility to fit your plans.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And judging by the bookings already coming in, you were ready for it too.

Overnight stays are booked on HotelsByDay at Night while day stays are booked on HotelsByDay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What should I do during a late-night layover?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A hotel room can be a practical option during a late-night layover. If you want a place to rest between flights, an overnight booking gives you a room to sleep in. Before booking, confirm the check-in window and location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I book a staycation with HotelsByDay at Night?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. You can use HotelsByDay at Night to book an overnight hotel stay for a staycation, depending on availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is HotelsByDay offering night stays?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. HotelsByDay offers both daytime and overnight hotel bookings. HotelsByDay is dedicated to day stays, while night.hotelsbyday.com gives guests access to traditional full-night stays, all under the trusted HotelsByDay brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I book a consecutive day stay and a night stay in the same reservation?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No. At the moment, night stays and day stays must be booked separately on HotelsByDay at Night and HotelsByDay. If you book a day stay and a night stay on the same dates, you may be required to check in and check out separately, and change rooms, at the discretion of the hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"What's the difference between a day stay and a night stay?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"An overnight stay includes a full-night booking, while a day stay gives you a room for a few hours during the daytime (for example, from 10 am to 5 pm).
