vacancy sign

Motel has room

A vacancy sign indicates available rooms at a hotel, motel, or similar lodging.

The sign typically displays "VACANCY" when rooms are available and "NO VACANCY" when fully booked.

These illuminated signs became iconic features of American roadside motels: We drove past three no-vacancy signs before finding a place to stay.
