Gap Night
An unbookable night between two reservations, usually caused by minimum stay requirements. Gap nights represent lost revenue. Orphan night pricing and flexible minimum stays can help fill these gaps.
Example
If you have a 3-night minimum and have bookings Friday-Sunday and Thursday-Saturday, the Wednesday between them becomes a gap night.
