What each one costs
Breezeway pricing
- Small portfolio $19.99/property/month
- Up to four units. Reasonable if you manage four holiday lets. The trouble starts with the word property, because a hotel room is entered as one.
- Five or more units Custom quote
- Above four you're into a sales conversation, and the pricing conversation stops being public.
The pricing doesn't translate to a hotel, and the reason is structural rather than expensive. My thirty rooms each go in as a separate property. At the small portfolio rate that's roughly $600 a month for a housekeeping scheduling tool. Sophie would close the browser tab at that point and so did I. This isn't Breezeway overcharging hotels, it's a product priced for a portfolio of holiday homes being asked to describe a building with thirty doors in it.
RoomChecking pricing
- Entry From $199/month
- Works out around $2.50 per room per month depending on property size. A published starting figure, which after a run of vendors in this category who won't name one is a small mercy.
- Volume Discounts for larger operations
- Available above the entry level. As ever, the detail arrives in a conversation rather than on a page.
There's a free trial but no free tier, so you can test properly before committing without running it indefinitely on nothing. For a 45-room property, $199 a month isn't expensive if it saves your supervisor half an hour a day and stops the sort of miscommunication that puts a guest into an uncleaned room. That's happened to me twice in four years, both times because a paper handover failed between shifts. A digital system that catches those failures is worth real money. Whether this particular one earns it depends less on price than on whether your staff can read it, which is a separate problem I'd test first.
Prices as last verified during each review. Hotel software pricing moves, and per-room rates behave very differently at 20 rooms and at 200, so run the arithmetic at your own room count. Full detail on Breezeway pricing and RoomChecking pricing.

Breezeway
A colleague recommended Breezeway for housekeeping. The scheduling works, the mobile app is decent, but the whole product thinks in vacation rentals, not hotel rooms. My staff could use it, but they shouldn't have to.

RoomChecking
I tested RoomChecking across my three English properties because the flexibility promise sounded right for multi-property operations. Some of that promise held up. Some of it didn't survive contact with a Tuesday morning housekeeping briefing.
