I have noticed that many fewer hotels are carrying the Govt rate, not just Hilton, but all chains. I was in Eatontown, NJ a couple weeks ago (no local hhonors properties, but there is a Sheraton). Many of the hotels in the area have got together and are refusing to allocate Govt rate ($94) rooms between June and Oct. They are all charging $119, and have forms for Govt employees to send to the GSA or someone to ask them to raise per-diem in the Eatontown area as no rooms are available for $94.
The point of the annecdote is that Govt rate rooms are becoming harder and harder to find. They are rarely available at the LAX HGI or DOubletree for example.
