Thanks again!
boazs,

The government rate has always been available for "official government travel" only. The fact that employees and/or contractors use it for leisure travel and get the rates from some hotels does not invalidate the fact that this is not part of the government's contract with IHG. Some individuals feel that there is an entitlement to these rates even for leisure travel.

The attached link from the IHG home page clearly states that the rate is for official government travel.
