Yes, you can check in remotely. However, by checking in remotely, you will not become the mayor nor will you unlock any special offers. To get those, you must be physically present using GPS and foursquare app. I'm assuming the 250 points bonus is part of the 4sq special offers and can only be unlocked when physically checking in.

Go to :

Log In
Set the location of where you are
Go to Checkin and type in the location of the hotel your staying at. Make sure in your history it shows that you checked into a Hotel and not an Off Grid location.
This may be handy for people who don't want to use the App or can't on their phone.
Just Checked in Here from home.
