Three Grand a Night?

So the mucketymuck at IMF is accused of felony sex assault.

What I want to know is this:

How much does the US taxpayer contribute to the IMF's travel-expense budget?

Because I think IMF could find accommodations for less than $3K/night. Maybe the poor slobs will have to stay in New Jersey?

My wife is in NYC on biz several times a year, stays at a very nice, safe hotel in mid-town Manhattan which runs $237 a night.

It's not the Sofitel but it's more than sufficient for any BUSINESS traveller.
