FAQ
Common Questions
What size groups does NTA Rooms work with?
We work with programs ranging from small corporate offsites of 20 rooms to large conference deployments exceeding 1,000 room nights. Our process scales to fit your program size.
How long does the sourcing process take?
Standard sourcing programs are typically completed within 5–10 business days from discovery to proposal delivery. Expedited programs can move faster depending on market availability.
Do you work in all destinations?
We source group hotel accommodations across North America and can facilitate programs in international markets where our network reaches. Contact us with your destination for availability.
What is your fee structure?
NTA Rooms operates on a commission-based model in most cases, meaning your program incurs no direct out-of-pocket management fee. Specific arrangements are discussed during discovery.
What happens if our pickup falls short of the room block commitment?
Attrition management is a core part of our service. We monitor pickup proactively, communicate with hotels, and take early action to reduce attrition exposure before cutoff dates arrive.
Do you handle meeting space and F&B in addition to rooms?
Yes. We coordinate meeting space sourcing, food and beverage requirements, and AV alignment as part of your lodging program. Add-on services are included in your discovery intake.
Can NTA Rooms work alongside our existing event management team?
Absolutely. We function as a specialist lodging resource that integrates with your internal team or third-party event management company. We handle the hotel side so you can focus on your program.
