Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I request a room block in Gainesville?
For a group stay during a University of Florida home game weekend, a tournament, or a conference, request your room block at least three to four months ahead. Hotels fill quickly when events overlap, so earlier is better. If your dates are outside those busy periods, six to eight weeks is usually enough.
How do I request group rates from hotels in Gainesville through Engine Groups?
Submit your request on Engine with your dates and the number of rooms you need. Engine Groups handles the room-block booking from there. You'll receive quotes from hotels that can accommodate your group.
What is a group rate and how does it work?
A group rate is a price the hotel quotes for your entire room block instead of charging the public rate for each room individually. The hotel holds those rooms for your group until a cutoff date, then you assign travelers to specific rooms. The rate applies to all rooms in the block.
How does billing work for a group stay booked through Engine?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing so you can pay for multiple rooms in one transaction. You have multiple payment options and there's no membership fee. This makes it easier to manage expenses for the whole group.
What counts as a group hotel booking in Gainesville?
A group booking is nine or more rooms reserved for the same dates. Engine Groups handles those room blocks for you. If you need eight rooms or fewer, you can book them yourself directly on Engine.
