Gap Night

A gap night is an empty night — or a short run of them — left stranded between two reservations. They appear when a minimum-night-stay rule blocks anyone from booking the leftover dates, so the calendar quietly carries unsellable inventory.

Operators recover gap nights by automatically lowering the minimum stay for those specific dates, often paired with a price nudge. Filling them is one of the easiest occupancy gains available, since the property is already being cleaned and staffed around them.
