Commercial Lodging

The JTR requires DoD travelers TDY to an Integrated Lodging Program site or surrounding metro area to book DoD Preferred commercial lodging before other commercial lodging options. If DoD Preferred commercial lodging is not available, the Federal Travel Regulation §301-11.11 states that travelers should give first consideration to Government lodging programs such as FedRooms, when available.

DoD Preferred

DTMO partnered with GSA/FedRooms to negotiate commercial lodging in select locations through a third party vendor for rates below per diem that meet established requirements.

To be selected to participate in the Integrated Lodging Program as a DoD Preferred Commercial Lodging property, hotels meet strict quality, safety, and security requirements and offer rates below per diem, as well as, additional traveler protections (no fee for cancellations before 4pm, etc.) and conveniences (free internet, free parking, etc.) at no additional cost.
