Check Inn Steam Charts & Stats

[h3]A fun hotel management (building simulation) game, similar to [i]SimTower[/i] and [i][url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/423580/Project_Highrise/]Project Highrise[/url][/i]. It offers a unique twist on the genre by incorporating Tetris-like puzzle elements into room placement.[/h3] [b]Gameplay:[/b] [list][*][u]Hotel Management:[/u] You start with a small, basic hotel and aim to expand it into a successful chain across various cities. This involves building rooms, checking in guests, managing staff (maids, porters, managers), upgrading facilities (elevators, kitchens, laundries, saunas), and addressing guest needs (like specific room types or services). [*][u]Puzzle Element:[/u] A key distinctive feature is the "Tetris-like" room placement. Rooms come in various shapes and sizes, and you need to fit them together efficiently within a predetermined building area, which changes with each level/city. This adds a layer of spatial puzzle-solving to the typical management sim. [*][u]Time Management:[/u] Guests have limited patience, so you're constantly working against the clock to fulfill their requests and keep things running smoothly, from cleaning rooms to delivering food. [*][u]Challenges:[/u] The game introduces various challenges, such as heating issues requiring special insulation or bug infestations needing exterminators, adding complexity and requiring strategic resource allocation.[/list] [b]Pros:[/b] [list][*][u]Addictive and Engaging:[/u] The core loop of building, managing, and puzzling to be quite addictive. [*][u]Unique Blend:[/u] The combination of hotel management with Tetris-style room placement sets it apart from other games in the genre. [*][u]Satisfying Progression:[/u] There's a sense of accomplishment as you grow your hotel, unlock new features, and expand to more complex locations. [*][u]Regular Updates:[/u] Since launch, KishMish Games seem to be actively updating the game, 3 major and numerous minor updates, adding new mechanics (like tourist trips and underground parking) and addressing issues.[/list] [b]Cons:[/b] [list][*][u]Can Be Grinding:[/u] Someone might find the constant juggling and the demand for specific room shapes to become a bit grueling, especially in later levels, potentially spiraling into a struggle to keep up. [*][u]Room Demolition Issues:[/u] The demolition feature for rooms is noted as being somewhat impractical or "useless" for anything other than top-floor rooms due to the puzzle-like nature of room placement. [*][u]Balancing:[/u] There's a sentiment that the game could benefit from more forgiving room shapes or better balancing of funds to alleviate some of the pressure.[/list] [b]Overall:[/b] [*][b]"Check Inn"[/b] offers a fresh and challenging take on the hotel management simulation genre with its clever integration of puzzle mechanics. While it can be demanding and at times feel like a constant struggle, its addictive gameplay and unique approach make it a potentially enjoyable experience for fans of management and puzzle games who are looking for something a bit different. It's in Early Access, suggesting ongoing development and improvements.

Very engaging game, that makes you forget about time! Don't let its simple idea trick you: strategic planning is required, and the budget is very tight! Enjoying every second of the game Btw, rating system would be 100 times better if instead of rank number, it was displayed as top 1%, or top 10% of all players, would be very motivating!

A fun little game, a little short on content but great for short stints. Hopefully more development is being done.

Many reviews compared this favorably to SimTower, which was a simple game - but one I was obsessed with. Alas, this does not scratch the SimTower itch at all. Reviews comparing it to Tetris are getting closer, though it's also not that. It doesn't feel like a hotel management game, either. What we've got is a unique little puzzle game with with a hotel theme. I think it's really clever. I'm not sure I love it, but it's diverting and polished. I do recommend it. I'm just not sure who I recommend it to.
