I would make a different choice because it’s a totally different situation. If a company wants me spending $100/night on hotels then give me $100/night. Don’t say, “Spend our money as if you were spending your own money” and then be upset when I do that.

company i work for just gives us the prices. choose the location and they tell you how much you can spend on flight on hotel based on current rates. very easy. but we have access to a lot of data.. probably not so easy for other companies to price map the world. but they could probably at least give specific examples. ritz Carlton no, but something nicer than motel 6... maybe take the median price for hotels within x mile radius and add 10% or whatever, let the employee work it out and if some excessive expense shows up it shouldn't be too hard to work it out by hand to see if they were being unreasonable
