I travel to Boise ID a lot. The government rate is $165/night. For most hotels, good luck getting that rate. A business that adopts the GSA rates would have a problem getting the employees into decent hotels

Yes to that bit of reality. There is a GSA rate for every specific city above the general CONUS but hotels certainly aren't required to offer that rate.
I'm not sure of a solution beyond the "smell test". Done reasonably and ethically - that's fine but often those two conditions don't completely apply. Humans gonna' human...
