Mews: A larger cloud PMS with a broader integration marketplace
Overview
What Stayntouch does
Stayntouch is a cloud property management system for hotels, designed around mobility: staff can check guests in from a tablet in the lobby, and guests can check themselves in from their own phone or a kiosk. That is a deliberate bet about where hotels are going. The front desk as a fixed counter is an assumption most hotel software still encodes, and removing it changes both staffing and the arrival experience. The trade is that a mobile-first system asks more of a property's wireless network than a desk-bound one.
What people use it for
- Hotels wanting to check guests in away from a fixed desk
- Properties reducing lobby queuing at peak arrival
- Independents replacing an on-premise PMS with cloud

The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about Stayntouch.
- Quote-only pricing scaled by rooms, with no published rates
- Mobile-first depends on property-wide wireless coverage that many older hotels do not have
- A smaller vendor than the major PMS providers, with a narrower integration ecosystem
- Strongest in North America, with less coverage elsewhere

Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
What does Stayntouch cost?
Quoted per property by room count; not published.
What does mobile-first actually change?
Check-in happens on a tablet anywhere in the property or on the guest's own phone, rather than at a fixed counter, which changes both queuing and front-desk staffing.
What does it need to work well?
Reliable property-wide wireless. A mobile-first PMS is only as good as the network it runs on.
