RMKS/1. The purpose of this MARADMIN is to announce Marine
Corps official lodging facilities will be bookable when
creating Temporary Additional Duty (TDY) authorizations in
the Defense Travel System (DTS) effective 25 May 2026.
2. Per reference a, use of on-base official lodging is a
requirement for official travel for all DoW travelers when
the location is included in the Integrated Lodging Program
(ILP). All Marine Corps official lodging facilities meet DoW
Lodging Adequacy Standards. Their use is therefore mandatory.
2.a. Mandatory use applies to both military and civilian
personnel.
3. On Marine Corps installations, Marine Lodges and Inns of
the Corps are official lodging facilities.
4. When the TDY destination is a military installation, the
Approving Official (AO) will ensure that the TDY destination
in DTS is listed as the installation (when applicable), not
the associated city or town.
5. Per reference a, certificates of non-availability will
only be issued if accommodations are not available.
6. Per reference a, reimbursement for lodging costs when
conducting official travel will be limited to the official
lodging rate when lodging is available but not utilized and a
certificate of non-availability is not included in the travel
voucher.
7. Room reservations for service members executing Permanent
Change of Station (PCS) orders and leisure travelers may also
be made by visiting https://www.innsofthecorps.com or by
calling the toll-free 24/7 Reservation Center at 1-(888)-409-
STAY(7829). Leisure travel reservations may be made when the
room inventory is not fully reserved by official travelers or
for official mission requirements.
8. Room reservations for TDY travelers and leisure travelers
may also be made by visiting https://www.marinelodge.com or
by calling the toll-free 24/7 Reservation Center at 1-(888)-
409-STAY(7829).
