Engine Reviews & Product Details

Engine has completely changed how we manage business travel and how much we save on it.

What I Like Best:

Huge cost savings without sacrificing quality of hotels available. It's like one of the last minute hotel sites, but without having to be last minute.

Super simple to use—search for a hotel, filter it down, pick a room. Done.

Great customer support, as well.

What Problems Are Solved:

Overpaying for hotel stays and the stress of going through lots of sites to find the best deal.

Managing hotel stays for multiple team members.

Great spend controls and visibility across all hotel bookings.

Why Engine Stands Out:

Super simple to use. Feels like a retail vs commerical product, but with the corporate features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing. They are great. Love using them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The simplicity of this user experience (UX) is driven by a well-thought-out design that prioritizes clarity and ease of use. The layout is intentionally clean, featuring only the essential data and elements needed for smooth navigation and decision-making, allowing users to interact without unnecessary clutter or distraction. This clean presentation reflects a sophisticated system architecture operating "behind the scenes," enabling seamless functionality without compromising simplicity.

The result is a UX that feels intuitive and efficient, with every component placed deliberately to enhance usability. By hiding complexity and showcasing only what's necessary, the design embodies "invisible complexity" — the idea that the most effective technology feels effortless to use, even though there's considerable power and intelligence working underneath to keep it that way.

They only used to do rooms, now I can book cars, flights Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Engine works small midsize businesses, they have already partnered with many of them and affiliated with other network. It cut down our time to go look for companies, government business, etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Big margin off of best available rates (almost 40%), it doesn' allow much margin to work for promotions and sponsored listing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are no upsides. I regret trying the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

With no explanation or cause, my account was shut down — something I learned by the login no longer functioning.

I have thousands of dollars in pre-booked travel through this site for my small business. Has it been cancelled? Who has my money?

Phone support was useless, and redirected me to an email address.

I would never trust this company with a penny of my LLC's travel bookings ever again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Simple user interface and easy to use. I like the simplicity Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Used Hotel Engine a couple of times, the prices are nowhere as good as they used to be.

Flex Program is a sham! Have yet to see any value. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Extremely simple to use, good deals on rooms, support is great. If you have employees in the field to book for, keep track of, do job costing on, etc this site makes it all easy to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The previous method used gave physical cards to employees which did make slighty easier for them to get rooms on their own when needed. The ability to set limits for employees easily outweighed this option for our company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use. Can control the spending and searching of employees with the click of a button. If needed you can make changes on the fly or book the hotels directly for guests or as an admin to exceed the thresholds you set up for employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the app or website gives me a little trouble. Not enough to persuade me to stop using. It has gotten better with the last few updates Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is the rewarding part. I book my colleagues hotels and get rewarded with points to use myself. I am currently using my points for my Thanksgiving break to visit family. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not dislike anything regarding this platform and I've using this platform for two years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Consistently lower prices on the same hotels I had used with hotel.com Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

link to book the same hotel again. If I do not mark a certain hotel as a favorite, it is not easy to find again. I need to go to my prior bookings and surf around until I find the hotel. Then I click to bring the reservation back up, then I need to copy and paste in the home page "find a hotel" box. The process should be easier. In this area, hotels.com is more user friendly. It is easier to re-book a hotel on their site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how quickly reward points build up just for booking hotels that I would have to book anyway. I love that the rewards can be used for any hotel in hotel engine, and the rates are fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't anything that i dislike about Hotel Engine. I've recommended to anyone who regularly books hotels for their work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
