Lodging for ISU employees is considered a travel expense and should be transacted on a University Travel and Hospitality (T&H) Card or reimbursed through an expense report in Workday.
For assistance with employee travel expenses, contact finance_delivery@iastate.edu.
ISU has contracts and price agreements with the following local hotels:
- Gateway Hotel and Conference Center
- Courtyard by Marriott
- Hilton Garden Inn, Radisson Hotel Ames Conference Center
- TownePlace Suites Ames
ISU also has a nationwide discount with Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.
Airbnb for Work is another lodging option available.
If securing lodging within the State of Iowa, the provider must be verified through the Iowa Office to Combat Human Trafficking Website.
Please verify that you have signing authority before signing any agreements, contracts, MOU’s, Event Orders, Acceptance Forms, etc. You can verify if you have authority by entering your name at the following link: https://apps.universitycounsel.iastate.edu/delegations/search
Any agreements for services must be signed by an ISU Procurement Agent unless you have authority to do so.
Procurement Procedure:
The Travel and Hospitality (T&H) Card may be used to pay for lodging and meals for employees and non-employee University guests as long as the transaction does not exceed your T&H Card limit. If the transaction exceeds your T&H Card limit, you can contact your Procurement & Expense Specialist (PES). Most PES have a higher T&H Card limit to assist in these larger lodging transactions.
