Every GovRateCodes tool & guide

GovRateCodes is a small, deliberately narrow reference. It answers whether a given hotel chain offers a government or military rate, who its own published terms cover, how you actually book it, and what the front desk asks for at check-in — nothing else. Every fact is read from the chain's own pages (or GSA's), and each page shows its source and the date we last checked it. Where a chain publishes no rate, or no typed code, we print that instead of inventing one.

Start with the free eligibility checker, then open the chain page or guide you need:

How to use these pages

• Start with the checker if you're not sure where to look. Pick who's traveling, the trip type and a chain, and it applies that chain's own published terms to your situation — including a plain "not published" when the chain simply doesn't say.
• A chain page lays out four things: who its terms cover group by group, whether there's a typed code or you select the rate in the booking engine, how the rate lines up against GSA per diem, and the ID the front desk can ask for. Each fact links to the chain's own source with the date we checked it.
• "Not published" is a real answer, not a gap. It means the chain doesn't state a position, so the decision happens at the desk — bring ID and ask, but don't build a trip around it.
• Read the guides for the machinery behind every chain rate: what FedRooms is and how you actually book it, how the per-diem ceiling works, whether contractors qualify, and where veterans fit.
• Always confirm before you book. These are voluntary commercial rates that chains change without notice, and hotels aren't required to honor federal per diem — the check date on each page tells you how fresh a fact is.
