Government Lodging at Per Diem Rates

Traveling on government or military orders can offer several lodging options depending on the length of assignment.  Government lodging options include hotels, furnished house rentals, apartments, or condo rentals. Hotels and extended stay suites are the best option for short term TDY assignments, and allow government travelers to obtain lodging incentives like rewards points for future hotel stays, free breakfast, and in some cases a free social or happy hour.  Furnished houses or apartments are another option and are probably the best government lodging alternative for stays of 30 nights or longer.  In some cases lodging providers in vacation destinations may allow travelers to rent a house or condo for a few nights or a few weeks.

Government travelers making lodging reservations weeks or months in advance have the opportunity to find the widest selection of accommodations at the best rates, much like booking an airline flight months in advance (not weeks).  Several websites offer a selection of all types of lodging for federal and state travelers.  TDY Lodging offers the largest selection of Government Lodging options for travelers interested in comparing per diem rate hotels, apartments, house rentals, and furnished condos.
