The problem

Specialized Lodging Needs

‍

Travel nurses working with Medical Solutions are given two options when they receive a job placement: take a stipend and secure their own housing or have the Medical Solutions team help them. When nurses request assistance, they trust the team to provide them with comfortable lodging that’s conveniently located, offers essential amenities, and can accommodate any furry family that might be joining them.

‍

The Medical Solutions team often sources properties with amenities like kitchenettes, interior corridors, and pet-friendly spaces. The goal? A ‘home away from home’ because when working long hours, it’s paramount that medical professionals are provided accommodations that allow them to unwind. “After working a 12-hour shift, our nurses don’t want to drive an hour back to where they’re staying,” says Beth G., Housing and Travel Supervisor at Medical Solutions.

‍

Cumbersome Processes

‍

Before Engine, the team had few tools at their disposal to assist in finding housing that met these standards—especially with job sites spanning all 50 states and Guam. “The process was all just picking up the phone and calling around to hotels,” Beth remembers. “We could research on the internet about what hotels are in the area, but then we’d have to call them all individually to find out about their availability and negotiate rates.”

The solution

Engine’s robust filtering tools, hotel savings, and 24/7 Member Support team save Medical Solutions a considerable amount of time and money.

“We can see the amenities, the rates, and view multiple hotels on one page. lt’s been a huge time saver.”

Saving 30 mins per traveler

In fact, Beth estimates that using Engine saves her team 30 minutes per traveler—a notable number when you consider that each member of her team oversees 70-100 travelers at any given time for placements of up to 13 weeks. They’re spending less time managing those reservations, too.

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.
