Well, I would think at the very least that it's somewhat more complicated than that. For example, if the hotel is overbooked for N nights, then it might be the last person to check in who has a booking for N nights (not fewer or more)?

Also, if the next-to-last person to check-in paid half the rate of the last person, and thus the hotel has to only eat half the rate, then what?
