What this is.

Guest Hub is the staff workspace for pre-arrival check-in records, human portal conversations, portal settings, and stay-service requests. The front desk can invite an individual guest by email or by SMS when hotel messaging is configured. The guest submits registration details, front-and-back ID images, required policy acknowledgements, and a signature for staff review. Once the stay is eligible, the branded portal organizes Stay, Services, and Messages without requiring a guest account. Room and Wi-Fi details appear there only after staff records the guest as checked in. Requests stay with the check-in record until staff resolves them or deliberately creates maintenance, Lost & Found, or housekeeping work. Staff can also review the guest journey and print or save an individual registration card.

Staff-controlled follow-throughStaff review the request and choose the next step. A housekeeping request can become a room assignment; maintenance and Lost & Found have their own deliberate handoffs.

What it solves.

The arrival form is in one place, the front-desk conversation is in another, and the request for extra towels is passed verbally at shift change. The next person at the desk has to reconstruct what happened before helping the guest.

The check-in record, portal conversation, request history, and staff follow-through stay together for the active stay.

HavenHaven can draft portal welcome copy and a proposed policy for staff to review and save. It does not verify guests, reply to stay messages, or route service requests on its own.

Where this fits.

Guest Hub is listed in the current tier plans. Availability still depends on the hotel's active subscription and property setup.

Buyer questions

What operators ask.

What does Guest Hub keep together?

Guest Hub keeps an individual pre-arrival check-in record, its staff review, portal conversation, stay-service requests, and a derived journey view in one hotel workspace. It is organized around the current check-in record rather than a deduplicated lifetime guest profile.

Does Guest Hub replace or synchronize with the PMS?

No. Staff create the current Guest Hub invitations manually. The PMS remains the system of record for reservations, rates, folios, and core room inventory; Guest Hub manages the hotel’s check-in review, stay portal, conversations, and requests beside it.

Which guest messaging channels are in the staff workspace?

Guest Hub supports two-way human messaging through the stay portal. Staff can also send an outbound SMS when the property’s messaging setup is available. Email and SMS can deliver invitations, but guest email conversations and inbound SMS replies do not join the portal thread.

How do stay-service requests reach the operating team?

Guests can submit housekeeping, maintenance, lost-item, offer, or special requests. Staff review each request and can acknowledge, complete, decline, or resolve it. When appropriate, a staff member deliberately creates a maintenance work order, Lost & Found report, or housekeeping room assignment; Guest Hub does not route or complete that work automatically.

What can a guest see in the stay portal?

An eligible guest can open a branded portal with Stay, Services, and Messages sections, hotel details, FAQs, offers, request history, and front-desk messages. Room and Wi-Fi details appear only after staff records the guest as checked in. Tipping and connected messaging options depend on the property’s setup.

Does Haven answer guests or approve check-ins automatically?

No. In Guest Hub, Haven can draft portal welcome copy and a proposed policy for staff review. Staff still review check-in submissions, reply to portal messages, decide request follow-through, and control what is saved. The separate AI Concierge has its own workflow and availability requirements.

Can managers export Guest Hub activity?

For an individual submitted, verified, or checked-in record, staff can open a registration card and print or save it as PDF through the browser. Guest Hub does not provide a bulk guest, conversation, request, or analytics export from this workspace.
