Military Inns
- As of November 2019 -
One of the unique and valuable benefits to an active or retired service member is their ability to access base facilities all over the world. Just about every base has a service sponsored military inn (Air Force Inn, Navy Inn, etc.). As a service member that has traveled on military TDY orders, I can attest that it's usually more desirable to try and get an off base hotel that offers a free hot breakfast. However, when traveling with my family, the military inns portfolio offer an amazing value for a safe place to stay on a budget.

To access and reserve a military inn you must be:
-
