“Choice Hotels recognizes the sacrifices that our U.S. military service people and their families are making to serve our country,” said Wayne Wielgus, senior vice president of marketing for Choice Hotels. “We simply want to show our support and thank the military families for their service by continuing to offer the government military rate at all eight of our brands across the country.”

The government and military rate is available to active or retired government and military personnel, cost reimbursable contractors, federal, state and local government employees and Amtrak employees.

Guests using the discount are eligible for Choice Privileges ® Choice`s frequent traveler program for Comfort Inn, Comfort Suites, Quality, Clarion and Sleep Inn brand hotels, and the EA$Y CHOICESM frequent traveler promotion, available to guests of Econo Lodge and Rodeway Inn hotels.
