UGH LOL
Overnight stays usually cost substantially more than day rates.

Also... not every employee also gets the message that you are arriving the next morning. Therefore you are often deemed a no show and can struggle to both get your room as well as receiving night credit for status. (since you checked in and out on the same calendar day)
