'Einchecken' (to check in) is a separable verb. In a main clause, the prefix 'ein' comes at the end; in a subordinate clause, the verb stays together; and in the infinitive with 'zu', 'zu' comes in the middle.
Ich checke morgen früh im Hotel ein.
I am checking in at the hotel tomorrow morning.
The word was taken directly from the English 'to check in' and adapted into German. It consists of the separable prefix 'ein-' and the verb 'checken' (to check).

Nach der Ankunft müssen wir zuerst im Hotel einchecken.
