How do I get a crashpad near Fort Hood?

Send a stay request with your dates, orders type and whether you hold a non-availability letter. If you request a specific home, we check it first. If it is unavailable, or you make a general request, eligible hosts within a 45-minute drive can bid. We review the options and send up to three for you to choose. There's no fee to request.

What will I pay for a crashpad near Fort Hood?

You're billed the government lodging rate your orders reimburse — $113 a night for the Standard Rate locality this month, or the on-base rate if Fort Hood lodging is available and you don't have a non-A — with itemized, DTS-ready receipts. Hosts bid below that rate, which is how the platform runs.

Can I share a crashpad near Fort Hood with a classmate?

Yes. Ask to be paired at request time: both travelers are matched to the same place, each is billed their own applicable lodging rate. Any included benefits appear in the offer before you choose. Pairing is double opt-in, so nobody is matched without agreeing.

On-base lodging at Fort Hood

On-post lodging is IHG Army Hotels: the Holiday Inn Express Keith Ware Hall at 36006 Wratten Drive, front desk (254) 532-8233, with more than 250 rooms, and a Candlewood Suites in Building 144 that suits stays of a week or longer with in-room kitchens. Book through IHG Army Hotels at ihg.com/armyhotels or the central reservations line at 1-877-711-8326, and use the Fort Hood page even though some listings still say Fort Hood. Official travelers get priority, but mobilization surges, brigade deployments, and test events fill the post regularly, so if the hotel cannot cover your dates ask for a certificate of non-availability at the time you book and keep it with your DTS voucher. Confirm check-in hours and pet policy directly with the front desk, since neither is published consistently online.

Confirm the current lodging allowance for your duty location and travel dates with the official rate lookup and your travel office. No current rate is quoted here. Alaska and Hawaii use DoD OCONUS rates. A published ceiling is not proof of reimbursement eligibility.
