How do you say "spent the night"?

As in: "Everyone spent the night at my house."
My student wrote: "Todos se quedaron la noche"
This doesn't sound right to me, but I'm not sure how to correct it. Gracias!

Muchas gracias! I was wondering if it sounded better to use "pasar" in this sentence. - savvyspanish, Dec 19, 2011
"Spend the night" and "stay the night" are great expressions in English, but unfortunately they don´t work in Spanish - 005faa61, Dec 19, 2011
Yeah, I knew for sure that it wasn't the verb "gastar" which means "to spend" as in spending money! - savvyspanish, Dec 19, 2011
