no vacancy

All rooms taken

No vacancy indicates that all available units are occupied—no rooms at a hotel, no apartments in a building, no spaces in a parking lot.

The phrase appears on signs to turn away potential guests or tenants: The motel's "No Vacancy" sign glowed red in the rain.

Figuratively, it signals unavailability: My schedule shows no vacancy until next month.
