I think you need a calendar table to do this:

CREATE TABLE #Guests (checkin date, checkout date, FullName varchar(50))

INSERT INTO #Guests

SELECT '10/12/2012', '10/16/2012', 'Corky Doe' UNION ALL

SELECT '12/12/2012', '12/17/2012', 'Janice Doe' UNION ALL

SELECT '11/12/2012', '11/24/2012', 'Howard Stern' UNION ALL

SELECT '12/12/2012', '12/13/2012', 'Abagail Johnson' UNION ALL

SELECT '12/12/2012', '12/15/2012', 'Teddy Sanft' UNION ALL

SELECT '12/12/2012', '12/18/2012', 'John Overton' UNION ALL

SELECT '12/12/2012', '12/19/2012', 'Sally Jenson' UNION ALL

SELECT '10/20/2012', '12/12/2012', 'Tiffany Blue'

DECLARE @StartOfMonth DATE = '2012-12-01';

WITH Calendar AS (

SELECT TOP (DAY(DATEADD(mm,DATEDIFF(mm,-1,@StartOfMonth),-1)))

[Day]=DATEADD(day, number - 1, @StartOfMonth)

FROM [master].dbo.spt_values Tally

WHERE [Type] = 'P' AND Number BETWEEN 1 AND 31)

SELECT [Day], Guests=ISNULL(COUNT(FullName), 0)

FROM Calendar

LEFT JOIN #Guests ON [Day] >= checkin AND [Day] < checkout

GROUP BY [Day]

DROP TABLE #Guests
