Frequently asked questions

How does Engine help with both the guest rooms and meeting space for a corporate event in Dayton?
Engine helps you handle both sides of your event. For the guest rooms, if you need 9 or more, Engine Groups takes care of the room block; for 8 or fewer, you can book self-serve. For the meeting or event space itself, you can find and request venues through Engine Spaces, which connects you to meeting and event spaces across Dayton and beyond.
What's the process for booking a block of rooms for conference attendees?
If you're booking 9 or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the room block for you. For 8 rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve directly on the platform. Either way, you'll have access to pre-negotiated rates, consolidated invoicing, and multiple payment options with no membership fee.
What amenities should I expect at these conference hotels in Dayton?
Most of these properties offer amenities like parking, wifi, and on-site dining, though the specifics vary by hotel. Features like AV equipment, catering options, and breakfast depend on the property. It's worth confirming what's included when you're comparing your options.
Are there hotels near the airport for attendees flying in for a large meeting?
The airport serving Dayton is convenient for business travelers flying in from out of town. Many of the hotels on this list are a short drive from the airport, making it easy for your attendees to get settled quickly. You can filter by location on Engine to find properties that fit your group's logistics.
What should I compare when choosing a hotel for hosting a conference?
Look at the size of the largest event space and how many people it can hold. For example, the Marriott at the University of Dayton has a largest space of about 6,400 square feet that accommodates up to 750 people, while the Hilton Garden Inn Dayton Beavercreek offers a largest space of about 3,300 square feet for up to 400 people. Also consider the number of event spaces if you need breakout rooms, the guest-room count for overnight attendees, and proximity to the airport or other local destinations.
