Unlocking New Opportunities with Early and Late Breaks

Early time slots allow hotels to cater to red-eye and business travelers who seek a quiet space to start their day. Whether it's for a morning meeting, a peaceful environment to work, or simply a refreshing place to shower and prepare for the day ahead, an “Early Break” option offers flexibility that can’t be found elsewhere. Guests can check in as early as 7 am and check out as late as 2 pm, making your hotel the go-to choice for those who value a productive morning.

Late time slots are highly sought after by our customers. They are perfect for those who need a place to unwind after a long day. Whether they're business travelers with evening meetings, locals seeking a luxurious space to relax, or those with a late flight, a “Late Break” option, starting after 4 pm, gives guests the flexibility to enjoy your hotel’s amenities well into the night. By extending the check-out time to after 9 pm, hotels can offer a unique experience that stands out in a crowded market.
This flexibility not only drives revenue but also fosters loyalty, turning local residents into regular patrons who view your hotel as a go-to destination for relaxation and productivity. It reinforces your hotel’s reputation as a forward-thinking brand that prioritizes guest satisfaction.

The beauty of adding these time slots to your offerings is that it doesn’t require additional inventory. Instead, these options maximize the use of your existing rooms, turning what would otherwise be downtime into profitable hours. By offering more flexible time slots, hotels can attract a broader range of guests throughout the day and evening, leading to higher occupancy rates and increased revenue. On average, hotels offering both early check-ins and late check-outs can see up to a 10% increase in bookings.

Nearly 30% of our active offers are Early and Late Breaks.  To further boost revenue, consider offering add-ons that enrich the client experience, as our guests typically spend 40% more on extras compared to overnight clients. This includes anything that can elevate the experience--such as breakfast, drinks, meals, chocolate box, flowers, or parking space.

Courtyard by Marriott Los Angeles LAX/Century Boulevard, a Dayuse partner, has fully embraced these benefits, offering time slots starting as early as 8 am and extending until 9 pm. This shift has resulted in increased bookings, translating into higher revenue for the hotel.

Implementing Early and Late Breaks is simpler than you might expect. Start by collaborating closely with your Dayuse Account Manager, who will guide you through the process of setting up these options in a way that’s both competitive and tailored to your property’s unique strengths. Together, you can strategize on pricing, determine the best time slots, and create packages that resonate with your target audience. The goal is to ensure these options not only meet the needs of your guests but also enhance their overall experience. With the right setup, you’ll be able to attract more guests, maximize room occupancy, and boost your revenue without the need for additional inventory.
