Choosing between CHP by Meetingselect and MeetingPackage hinges on your hotel’s specific needs for online venue booking. Both platforms aim to streamline meeting and event bookings, but they differ significantly in features, usability, and market focus. Meetingselect, with zero recent reviews and a score of 0/5, appears inactive, whereas MeetingPackage, with 96 reviews and a 4.54/5 rating, demonstrates ongoing user satisfaction. How do these differences influence your decision?
Meetingselect's platform offers a comprehensive management system for venues, but with no recent reviews and a zero score on HotelTechReport, there’s little current evidence of its effectiveness or user satisfaction. Conversely, MeetingPackage boasts a strong reputation with recent reviews praising its ease of use, automation, and seamless integrations. Given its active presence and recent positive feedback, MeetingPackage seems better suited for hotels seeking reliable online venue booking. Do you want a platform with proven recent performance?
If your hotel needs a full operational platform that manages reservations, invoicing, reviews, and reporting, and you prefer a modular, scalable solution, CHP by Meetingselect might seem appealing. However, the lack of recent reviews or active user feedback makes its current suitability questionable. MeetingPackage, with a 4.54/5 rating based on 96 reviews—including recent feedback—offers a targeted booking engine designed for mid-size and large hotels wanting to sell meeting spaces online without manual effort. If you prioritize active user experience, MeetingPackage is the clear choice.
Meetingselect’s UI and onboarding ratings are undisclosed, and no recent reviews make usability hard to evaluate. MeetingPackage, on the other hand, scores 4.59/5 for ease of use, with recent reviews highlighting its straightforward booking process, clear layout, and quick onboarding. Users describe it as “easy to implement,” “intuitive,” and “saving time for staff,” making it evident that MeetingPackage’s user experience is well-regarded. Edge: MeetingPackage.
Meetingselect’s platform offers no unique features listed, while MeetingPackage provides 19 features, including instant booking, group bookings, automated emails, real-time availability, and online payments. Its features—like urgency messaging, discounts, and content management—are specifically designed for venue sales. With a broader feature set and ongoing updates, MeetingPackage clearly leads in functionality. Edge: MeetingPackage.
Meetingselect’s support ratings are unavailable. Meanwhile, MeetingPackage boasts a 4.86/5 customer support score, with recent reviews praising quick response times and helpful assistance. Customers say support “significantly improves operational efficiency” and “resolves issues fast,” reflecting high satisfaction. The active engagement and recent positive feedback give MeetingPackage the edge here. Edge: MeetingPackage.
Meetingselect has only one verified integration partner, while MeetingPackage supports 15, including major systems like Opera, Mews, MMS, and Stripe. Its extensive integrations streamline real-time syncing with PMS and channel managers, crucial for efficient venue management. This broader ecosystem makes MeetingPackage the more versatile and scalable choice. Edge: MeetingPackage.
Meetingselect's rating is 0/5 with no recent reviews, indicating no current user feedback. MeetingPackage, with a 4.54/5 score based on 96 reviews, is actively rated across various hotel segments, including brands, city hotels, and independents. Hotels in multiple segments consistently praise its ease of use, automation, and support, especially recent reviews that reinforce confidence. Clearly, MeetingPackage has the stronger reputation among hoteliers. Edge: MeetingPackage.
Meetingselect’s pricing details are unavailable, with no trial or subscription info publicly disclosed. In contrast, MeetingPackage costs $400 monthly, with no free tier or trial offered. Its higher price reflects a feature-rich platform designed for larger venues and chains. If budget transparency is critical, MeetingPackage’s clear pricing provides better planning certainty.

Not ideal if:
Meetingselect offers a comprehensive operational platform for venues, but its current lack of recent reviews and low activity levels suggest it may not meet your hotel’s immediate needs. MeetingPackage, with a large active user base and recent positive feedback, is a more reliable choice for online venue booking, automation, and integration.
If your hotel prioritizes a proven, feature-rich booking engine with high user satisfaction, go with MeetingPackage. Its ease of use, extensive integrations, and active support make it well-suited for mid-size and large hotels looking to grow their event sales.
Choose CHP by Meetingselect if your hotel requires a full operational management system that can scale over time—though be aware of its current inactivity and limited recent validation. For most hoteliers actively seeking to enhance their online venue booking, MeetingPackage remains the sensible, data-backed choice.

How highly do users recommend this product? Ratings Score, Review Volume, Share of Voice, Review Depth, Review Recency, Success Stories ▾ The most heavily weighted factor.

How customer-centric is this organization?

| Reach, Staying Power & Resources |
|
How extensive is this company's reach and resourcing?
