The Government Services Administration (GSA) analyzes and then sets lodging rates for federal government travelers every year. Many state and local government travelers follow the GSA guidelines as well. In 2010, the maximum nightly lodging rate for the San Diego, California, area was $147. This is the maximum amount that government travelers may be reimbursed when traveling on the government's dime. Scores of nice hotels offer government rates in the area, but travelers should book as early as possible, because most hotels offer these rates only for a certain number of rooms each night.
Three free meals daily and nightly happy hour hors d'oeuvres are just a few of the perks the Ramada Conference Center offers. The hotel is close to many government-related destinations such as the shipyards, Northrop Grumman and Marine Corps Air Station Miramar. Suites and single rooms are available, and each room includes cable television, wireless Internet, a microwave, refrigerator and coffee maker. Guests can enjoy the outdoor pool, fitness center and guest laundry facilities. This hotel offers government rates for active and retired government employees and military personnel.
