Hi Crate Team. I wanted to run the possibility of having an Inn as a building option in the game. I know there is a Pub, however, the Inn was a building people of this time period highly depended on while traveling. You could have the Inn building bring in revenue for the city for each traveler that stays there. It can be stocked with the essentials (water, firewood, food, etc.), so that customers stay and are satisfied. It could also serve as a desirability addition for the housing sector maybe. Just a thought!

I second this. An Inn is a must!
Additionally, the Inn could function as a temporary shelter for newcomers to extend the time they stay before you have to make a decision to accept or reject them. As well as increasing the immigration rate through guests deciding to stay.
You could perhaps post requests at the inn for a specific number of new citizens and a specific level of education, perhaps also specific sex? Just in case you need to balance out the demographics of your town.

Concept of a temporary shelter is similar, so upgraded temporary shelter could become an inn serving beer and giving gold income.

Similar but not the same.
Temp shelters are for workers of remote resources so they have shorter work routes and can shelter in extreme weather.
An inn should provide shelter for travelers/newcomers until a decision has been made to accept them and housing has been made available for them.
Also it should provide entertainment for the locals with food, drink, gambling & music.
An Inn is usually the social center of any settlement next to the church. And often they’re located right next to each other near the town center.

Yeah I really do think the Pub should be able to upgrade to a Tier 2 and Tier 3 building that allows it to convert into a Tavern and then an Inn. (Or maybe the Pub upgrades to a Tavern and the Temporary Shelter upgrades to an Inn, I like that too.)
It could then serve food, increase gold revenue, and reduce the time villagers spend intoxicated by offering them something to soak up the booze and sleep it off. I also think it’d be cool if an Inn brought in visitors of some kind or at least increased the frequency and duration of trader visits.
