I tried to make several random booking on the hhonors website and always come up with the following for Govt rate at the ABQ airport HGI

GOVT WITH BREAKFAST US FED/STATE/MILITARY GOV EMP-I.D. REQ
89.00 USD 1 KING BED Requested non-smoking
89.00 USD 2 QUEEN BEDS Requested non-smoking
105.00 USD 1 KING BED JR SUITE Requested non-smoking
95.00 USD 1 KING BED WHIRLPOOL RM Requested non-smoking
89.00 USD ROOM SELECTED AT CHECK-IN

According to https://secureapp2.hqda.pentagon.mil...diemrates.html
the per-deim rate for ABQ is $66. So this is $23 over per diem (I know the rate says that you get breakfast, but I get breakfast free as a diamond!)
