Frequently asked questions
How do I get my team to Odessa for our company retreat?
Midland International Air and Space Port, the airport serving Odessa and Midland, is about 20 miles from most hotels in the area. Teams typically fly in and rent vehicles or arrange shuttles to their hotel. Many properties offer parking for guests who drive in from elsewhere in West Texas.
How does billing work when I book multiple rooms for our offsite?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing for your team's stay, so you get one invoice instead of managing individual receipts. You can choose from multiple payment options, and there's no membership fee to use the platform. For a stay of 9 or more rooms, Engine Groups handles the booking; for 8 or fewer, you book self-serve.
What amenities can my team expect at these hotels?
Most properties offer parking, wifi, on-site dining, and fitness facilities, though specifics vary by hotel. Some also have business centers and room service. Check each property's listing on Engine for details on what's available during your stay.
How do I choose the right hotel size for my group and our agenda?
Think about your headcount and how you'll use the space. The Odessa Marriott Hotel & Conference Center has 18 meeting rooms and about 33,000 square feet of event space for larger groups with multiple breakout sessions. Smaller teams with a simpler agenda might do well at a property like Hilton Garden Inn Odessa, which has 3 meeting rooms.
What makes a hotel a good fit for team offsite hotels in Odessa?
Look for enough guest rooms to house everyone comfortably and meeting space that fits your agenda, whether that's a single large room or several breakout areas. The MCM Grande Hotel FunDome Odessa, for example, offers about 20,000 square feet of event space and 8 meeting rooms. You can find and request meeting and event space through Engine Spaces, and book the guest-room block on Engine (Engine Groups for 9 or more rooms, self-serve for fewer).
