See 41 CF.R, § 301-8,3(a) (1) (1991), An employee who incurred lodging expenses in excess of that amount may not be reimbursed that additional cost, even though the excessive cost was caused by agency error in making hotel reservations.

Kuhns to be reimbursed for additional lodging expenses incurred by him incident to temporary duty travel to New Orleans, Louisiana, in April-May 1991. We conclude that the employee may not be reimbursed additional amounts. Mr. Kuhns, among others, was authorized to perform temporary duty travel on an actual expense basis to attend a conference at the National Finance Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. Reservations were made at the Le Pavilion Hotel by the IRS National Office and a daily lodging rate of $106.45 was established. All of the participants, with the exception of Mr. Kuhns, had reservations at the Le Pavillon. Due to administrative error, his name was not included on the reservation list and he had to seek accommodations elsewhere.
