Frequently asked questions

What amenities can conference attendees expect at hotels in San Jose?
Most properties offer parking, wifi, and on-site dining, though specifics vary by hotel. Many also provide business centers and fitness facilities. It's worth confirming directly with the property or through your Engine booking which amenities are included for your group.
How easy is it to get to San Jose for a large meeting?
The airport serving San Jose (Norman Y. Mineta San Jose International) is close to downtown, making arrival straightforward for attendees flying in. Ground transportation and rideshare options connect the airport to hotels throughout the city. If your group prefers to stay near the airport, several properties on this list are within a short drive.
How does billing work when booking rooms for a big event?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you can manage payment for your entire room block in one place. You'll have multiple payment options and there's no membership fee to use the platform.
Can Engine help with both guest rooms and meeting space for our conference?
Yes. For the guest-room block, Engine Groups handles bookings of 9 or more rooms, while 8 or fewer rooms can be booked self-serve. For the meeting and event space itself, planners can find and request venues through Engine Spaces, Engine's meeting-and-event venue product with access to thousands of options.
How do I book a block of rooms for conference attendees in San Jose?
