Barbara, I have had luck with Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express. We just requested the rate and they agreed. The Hilton properties are a little tougher to get to agree, but if you can find the right person or call the home office and explain the situation, you can have success. Those are the only two chains I have had experience with.

Subject: [RESADM-L] Govt Lodging Rates

Has anyone ever been able to have a hotel extend the government lodging
rates for non-government employees who are attending a meeting/conference
that is totally funded by a government grant?
