Temporary Housing

RESERVATIONS

If traveling on official duty - such as a Permanent Change of Station (PCS), please ensure to make reservations as soon as you know you are heading to Dyess (orders are not required to make reservations).

Accommodations are on a first-come, first-served basis. For reservations, call DSN 312-461-2681 or 325-696-2681 and provide the following information: your name, rank, organization, arrival/departure date, phone number, email address, and number of people in your family. You can also send an email to 7FSS.LodgingManagement@us.af.mil with the above information.

The Inns of Dyess does not allow pets in most rooms; however, eight rooms in the temporary lodging facilities have been converted to accommodate guests with a dog or a cat - these rooms are in high demand.

Hours of operation are 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and check-in can be done outside of these hours with advance arrangements through lock-boxes. Once you arrive, make your first stop the Dyess Inn at 225 5th St. Building 7420 to get set up with a place to stay as you begin in-processing.

Most rooms are within walking distance of the dining facility, base exchange, and commissary. Visit the Dyess FSS website for more details.

Visiting quarters are $99.00 a night, distinguished visitor quarters (business) are $107, and temporary lodging facilities (large, with two bedrooms) are $107.00. The TLF pet fee is $10 extra per unit per night.

Because of the uncertainty of available on-base facilities, financial plans should be made to defray the cost of living off base. Temporary housing in motels is generally limited and becomes relatively expensive when the stay is for two or more weeks. A list of area motels offering efficiency apartments is provided to newcomers by the Housing Office and the Dyess Inn.

Dyess Inn does not allow pets in most rooms, but some rooms in our Temporary Lodging Facilities have been converted to accommodate guests with a dog or a cat (two pets maximum). There is a nonrefundable charge of $10 per day on top of the normal room rate for those rooms. Since facilities are very limited, it is recommended to make pet boarding arrangements in advance should a pet room not be available.

Those who obtain accommodations in one of the 16 temporary lodging facilities quarters may stay a maximum of 30 days. Extensions may be granted in cases of hardship, if vacancies exist.

For directions to Dyess Air Force Base, see the "Location" topic at the top of this page, then go to "Installation" and "Directions."

Once you go through the main gate, go straight on Arnold Boulevard to the traffic circle. Take the third exit of the roundabout to turn right onto Fifth Street (Southbound). Stay on Fifth Street until you reach Building 7409, the Dyess Inn, then turn left into the parking lot.

VERY IMPORTANT: Even though you can stay in a Temporary Lodging Facility for up to 30 days (with reservations), you will only be authorized financial reimbursement for up to 21 days of that stay.
