overnighter

One-night hotel visitor

An overnighter is a trip or stay that lasts one night, or a bag sized appropriately for such a trip.

The term emphasizes brevity—just enough time to require sleeping arrangements but not a full vacation's worth of luggage or planning.

I packed light for the overnighter to Chicago.

In some contexts, overnighter refers to a person staying overnight, particularly a guest or patient who remains until morning.
