!!''Check-in at the Turnabout'' provides examples of:

* AbsenceofEvidence: The crime scene doesn't include a lot of evidence helping Lector's case, much to the team's dismay.
* Adorkable: The presence of Maya Fey in this story. Accompanied with multiple odd yet cute actions she does during the story. (e.g: Making a puppy dog face to convince the Detention Center guard to let the team speak to Lector in Chapter 1)
* AlwaysMurder: This is an Ace Attorney fanfiction, meaning someone is dead. Three people to be exact.
* BadassLongcoat: Detective Falcon wears a trench coat and a fedora, playing up the noir detective trope.
* Beat: Phoenix and Maya face a few instances of uncomfortable silence throughout the story. (e.g: The uncomfortable silence after Maya's weird puppy dog face in the Detention Center.)
* BlatantLies: In Chapter 1, the Magatama shows that Lector is lying about his denial of knowing any of the victims In Chapter 2, Howard also tells a lie about him seeing the defendant the night of the crime.
* ChildProdigy: Sarah's ability to acquire a position at the shop in the hotel certainly implies a certain intellect about her.
* CoincidentalBroadcast: Maya turns on the TV to show Phoenix details regarding the murder. The television, of course, begins to state important details regarding the incident at that moment.
* CrowdedCastShot: The cover illustration for the story includes a minor variation of this trope. Featuring two canon characters along with three original characters exclusive to the story,the image implies that all these characters will become important later.

* ItWasADarkAndStormyNight: The first chapter begins with two unnamed and obscured men talking in a dark hotel room in the middle of the night whilst it's raining outside.
* {{Jerkass}}: Kish's character is so obnoxious and rude in his first meeting, displaying a perfect example of this trope.

* MysteriousPast: Lector does not disclose at any time his previous life. (e.g: He briefly mentions that he had a previous profession that's unknown nor disclosed to Phoenix.)
* PowerOfTrust: Despite Lector's blatant lying in Chapter 1, Phoenix still decides to take his case.
