Questions & Answers about El hotel está completo este fin de semana.

Why do we use está instead of es here?
We use está (from the verb estar) because being fully booked is a temporary condition or state, not a permanent characteristic of the hotel.
Completo usually means "complete". Is this the normal way to say "fully booked"?
Yes, in the context of hotels, restaurants, or buses, completo is the standard way to say "fully booked" or "full". If a hotel has no rooms left in Spain, they will put up a sign on the door that just says Completo.
Why is it este and not esto for "this" weekend?
Este is the masculine singular word for "this" used right before a masculine noun like fin de semana. You only use esto when you are talking about an unknown object or a general situation, never directly in front of a noun.
Since semana is feminine, why do we use the masculine word este?
The phrase fin de semana is masculine because its main noun is el fin (the end). The part de semana just describes what kind of end it is. Therefore, the whole phrase takes masculine adjectives like este.
