Definition
入住 (rù zhù) means 'to check in' at a hotel or 'to move into' a new home — it emphasizes the act of entering and settling into accommodation. Unlike 报到 (bào dào 'to report for duty') or 打卡 (dǎ kǎ 'to clock in'), 入住 is specifically about lodging. 住宿 (zhù sù) means 'to stay overnight' without focusing on the check-in procedure.
verb
to check in (at a hotel, hostel, etc.)to move into (a new home)
