Wir haben eine Übernachtung mit Frühstück in einem kleinen Hotel gebucht.
We booked an overnight stay with breakfast in a small hotel.
The word is made up of 'über' (over/during) and 'Nacht' (night) and literally describes the action of spending the time 'über die Nacht' (overnight) in one place. The ending '-ung' turns the action into a noun.
Die lange Fahrt erforderte eine Übernachtung auf halber Strecke.
The long drive required an overnight stay halfway there.
In the context of travel and tourism, the word is often combined with certain verbs and expressions, for example 'eine Übernachtung buchen' (to book an overnight stay), 'eine Übernachtung stornieren' (to cancel an overnight stay), or 'Übernachtung mit Frühstück' (overnight stay with breakfast).

stay / residence
'Aufenthalt' and 'Übernachtung' can both fit with travel, hotels, or visits. 'Aufenthalt' is more general and means the whole time you spend in a place. That can be a few hours, several days, or even longer. 'Übernachtung' only means that you sleep somewhere for one night, usually not at home. Learners may confuse the words because an overnight stay is often part of a longer stay. If the night is important, 'Übernachtung' fits. If you mean the entire time at the place, 'Aufenthalt' is more precise.
