[quote= Marriott official rules for government rates]Who is Eligible for Marriott's Government Rates?
Dependents of Military Personnel     Not Eligible

[b]Note: At most Marriott hotels the government rate is available to eligible guests regardless of whether they are traveling on business or pleasure.  However, some hotels may only make the government per diem rate available to guests traveling on official business. [/b]   Please check the hotel’s rate description for details. If the rate description states that the rate is only for guests traveling on official government business, please be prepared to present travel orders when checking in.

To qualify for government per diem rates, guests must present a valid form of identification at check-in that consists of:

For U.S. Federal Government Per Diem Rates:

[b]Personnel badge or ID card issued to U.S. Federal Government civilian employees[/b]
Official Government/Military Travel Orders/Proof of Official Duty Status (some hotels may require travel orders in addition to another form of ID)
U.S. Military ID card issued to U.S. Military Personnel on Official Travel
Common Access Card (CAC) issued to U.S. Federal Government civilian employees and U.S. Military Personnel on Official Travel (excludes CAC cards issued to contractors and retired military)
U.S. Federal Government issued Visa, MasterCard or American Express Card (i.e. SmartPay Credit Card)
Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) identification card
Native American Tribal Government ID card
Canadian government or active-duty military issued ID or credit card[/quote]

So, some Marriott hotels will allow government personnel to use the government rate for personal stays.  But not all.

However, all Marriott properties  say that the government rate is only available to government employees, not to their dependents.  If OP's husband is traveling with them, they can get the government rate if the hotel allows him to use it for persona. travel.  Otherwise they don't get it.[/quote]
