#  We have someone staying in a standard room at a hotel however it costs much more than the per diem rate for that city. Can it still be reimbursed? 

 



Yes, the policy states that a traveler is to stay in a standard, single-occupancy room where available and upgrade fees are not reimbursable. Travelers are encouraged to use the [Harvard Rates](http://www.travel.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/travel/booking/hotels.php) to get the best rates possible. While the expense would be allowable this assumes there is a budget in the department that can support the expenses.
