Better search results:
Rather than randomly searching rooms, LodgeLink allows travel managers to find results tailored to their specific requirements. With a platform built around the unique needs of crews, LodgeLink helps you:
- Put your crews in close proximity to the job site
- Search preferred hotels to accommodate your budget
- Tailor your search to find amenities like large truck parking and after-hours meals
Simply put, LodgeLink helps you find the appropriate accommodations on time and on budget.
Here’s how LodgeLink makes finding accommodations easier:

- Access negotiated rates with 14,000-plus hotel and lodge properties across Canada and the United States
- Upload crew lists to easily assign guests to a reservation, saving you time with every booking
Get more from your booking platform
Gone are the days of spending countless hours tracking your crews. LodgeLink enables travel managers to:
- Book large groups and manage last minute changes with ease
- Make changes to your reservation on your desktop, tablet, or mobile device
- Locate, track and advise your team in case of emergency
404 – No Hotels Found
Not all booking and searching platforms are created equal. You may need to put crews in remote and challenging locations with nary a hotel to be found.
LodgeLink has the solution. Allowing for LSD GPS tracking capabilities to find the closest accommodations to your remote worksite, our platform can put your crews where they need to be.
Additionally, as a Black Diamond Group company, LodgeLink has access to work camps and lodges not found on any other online platform.
Stop playing phone tag with hotels
The payment process of crew travel can chip away at your time by going back and forth with multiple hotels and crews to figure out your organizations’ expenses.
Every finance professional knows the lengthy, frustrating process of handling disputes, which crew member stayed where, exactly what was spent, and tracking down invoices for timely payment.
- One invoice that reconciles multiple stays from multiple properties
- Apply Payment IDs and Tracking Codes to mirror cost centers, GL codes, AFE#, and PAD# and align to your accounting and budget requirements
- Seamless alignment with accounting practices. This gives better visibility to your budget and adds a layer of financial control and efficiency
