Yes, I had a feeling there was some condition like that hence my question.

I think that if you book a hotel for the full duration it is sold as a package holiday and you get the usual ability to pay a deposit.

If you book a hotel for a different duration than the trip length, the status then changes and you are in effect buying flights and separately booking a hotel. It is no longer a package holiday and you don't get the ability to pay a deposit

I think the above is correct but I am not 100%.
