For some reason I thought that Government rates were circa $65-95
Gov't rates for Dubuque, Iowa are 65 bucks, DC is expensive.

FYI -
Two people sharing one room can pool room allowances. Gov't employees travelling without gov't travel orders can use gov't rate if travel orders are not required.

I think my rate is actually the hyatt.com rate, it worked out cheaper.
