IHG Army Hotels

Has this been covered before as a topic?

http://www.ihgarmyhotels.com/pal/en/us/home?res_state=1

I do not think that many of us would be able to use this, but perhaps some find it useful/interesting.

I am unclear as to policy at the IHG Army hotels. I have spent lots of time in Junction City, KS, home of Fort Riley. I stayed at the HI Express(?) in town. Is access to the on-base facility limited to active military?, retired military?, civilian contractors? Does the general public have access to the facility?

Henryf,

As I read it, you need to have base clearance for most of the properties. I did a dummy reservation just to find out what it was all about.

Yes, at least a couple of times. Here's one thread I found on the topic:

What does base clearance consist of?

Base access is not a problem.

Just curious

If I were designing the program, I would assign first priority to active military, then retired military, then civilian contractors, then general public. I have not been able to find a policy on this anywhere.

It's not urgent and I am sure that something will eventually be promulgated.

This is part of the privatization of on-post housing. The rules concerning access that apply to non-privatized billeting apply by and large to IHG Army Hotels. (Official travel (TDY, PCS) has priority. Then on a space-available basis other eligible groups (active duty military, military dependents, retired military, reserves/NG, DoD civilians (generally not contractors)). The general public is not a part of this.)

I did a general search recently for Hawaii hotels at ichotels.com and I was surprised to see a couple of these Army hotels pop up. But after seeing this thread I just tried again and I don't see them anymore. More IHG web wackiness.

Just stumbled across this on the IHG website and came here for more info.


Seems like a great deal for those of us who are on official travel, best part is they allow pets, which the former model of Army Guest Houses most often didn't.

I don't expect nicer rooms as IHG is no doubt using former guest houses, but more than likely there will be a much higher level of service.
