Hopefully some of you find this helpful. My wife is a VA Social worker, and we just learned of this Federal benefit a few years back, that has been extended for leisure travel as well.
You get hotel rooms at a pre negotiated rate, and they typically waive parking fees and WIFI fees, as well as provide free local shuttle. Some locations will treat you as if you have diamond preferred status, and provide a gift bag upon checkin as well.
I am seeing rates at least 25 percent cheaper than any published rate and sometimes 40-50 percent off.
We have taken about 10 trips, and never had a problem. Usually stay at a 4-5 star Hyatt/Hilton, but there are a lot of Resorts as well.
