Booking was a breeze. The map tool helped me pick the perfect place to stay for my upcoming trip. The rates were significantly lower with Engine than booking directly. Membership has its privileges.

So far so good. Just booked my first trip. Their prices through my work perk were the cheapest and I like the refund option in case anything goes wrong (because: kids). The app and website are easy to navigate. Would use again!
