The problem

Low Weekday Occupancy Rates

‍
While weekends were often fully booked, La Hacienda Inn faced challenges filling rooms during weekdays, leaving potential revenue untapped.

‍

Lack of Market Insight

‍
Without local demand data,  it was difficult to attract the corporate travelers needed to drive occupancy effectively.

‍

Manual, Time Consuming Tactics

‍
They relied on time-consuming methods like cold calling, scouting local construction sites, and checking permits—resourceful but exhausting with limited results

The solution

Campaigns and Increased Visibility

‍
La Hacienda Inn ran targeted weekday promotions, reaching Engine’s network of business travelers. Leading to a significant increase in bookings from vetted members.

‍

Competitor Insight Dashboards

‍
By leveraging detailed local market insights, It was easy to identify trends in corporate travel demand, adjust pricing strategies, and tailor promotions to appeal to these guests.

‍

Flexible Rate Management

‍
Partner Hub allows them to retain full control over their rates and inventory. By adapting quickly to market conditions, La Hacienda Inn maximizes occupancy and revenue.

“Partnering up with Engine is the best decision we’ve made.”

$60K Boost with Partner Hub

Purvi first discovered Engine after noticing an increasing number of reservations coming to her hotel from Engine. Intrigued, she decided to reach out. With the help of her dedicated account representative, she quickly got started with Partner Hub—and found it very easy to use.

‍

With Partner Hub’s advanced tools and insights, La Hacienda Inn is able to transform its approach to marketing, pricing, and booking management.
“Partner Hub just makes my life easier,” says Purvi. “Having a partnership with Engine, we are able to target the small mid-size businesses and gain all that midweek business. And our revenue has really spiked up. We are not talking about just $1,000 or $2,000 here, we are talking about at least $50,000 to $60,000”.

Powerful Tools to Help Small Hotels Thrive

Partner Hub gives Purvi access to tools typically reserved for large hotel chains:

‍

• Advanced analytics for understanding market demand.
• Targeted promotions tailored to specific audiences.
• Insights into guest behavior to optimize pricing and offerings.

‍

“We’re not just delivering bookings; we’re empowering hotel owners with data and solutions to thrive,” says Florent Silve.

La Hacienda Inn’s Revenue Turnaround

Frequently asked questions

We’re glad you asked!

‍

Hotels want to reach business travelers while companies with traveling workforces want the best rates they can get.

‍

Our platform brings everyone together to radically simplify trip management and give everyone exactly what they want. By booking with Hotel Engine, you and your company will save substantially in both time and money.

By providing great value to our hotel partners, we get great rates. That means we can take a small cut of each booking — enough to cover 24/7 Member Support and continually re-invest in new technology — and still offer deals to our members that are up to 60% less than the online public travel sites. That’s why we can keep Hotel Engine free to join and use.

‍

No membership fees, no contracts, and no minimum spend.

We want our members to have plenty of options when booking lodging. Our platform currently offers 750,000+ properties worldwide.

‍

You'll find just about every hotel in the U.S. on our platform. If you don't see a specific hotel when you search, it's likely because the hotel is fully booked during your dates. In those rare cases, we'll show you nearby comparable properties with availability during your travel dates.

‍

We’re in the business of radically simplifying trip management for everyone, and we believe great hotel rates should be accessible to everyone, too.

‍

That’s why Hotel Engine is free to join and use — no membership fees, no contracts, no minimum required spend, no catch.

‍

‍Click here to learn more about our pricing.

Individual hotel properties set their own cancellation policies, which are clearly displayed during the booking process (you’ll see whether the room is refundable, and the last date you can cancel and receive your money back). After booking, you can find cancellation policy information in the “Important Information” section of your confirmation page.

‍

If you need to keep travel plans flexible, there are two great options available.

‍

  1. You can select the Flex option during the booking process. Flex allows you to cancel any reservation up until noon the day of arrival or cut a trip short mid-stay and get refunded — regardless of the hotel’s cancellation policy.
  2. If your company signs up for FlexPro, every traveler is fully covered with our highest degree of flexibility. With an annual plan, FlexPro costs $2,000 ($167/mo) covering everyone in your company. If you want to go month-to-month, Flexpro costs $200 - again, covering everyone in your company.
