According to the 2025 Americas Best Value Inn FDD, Americas Best Value Inn does not provide assistance with site selection or lease negotiation. The FDD states clearly that franchisees are responsible for selecting their own site and negotiating the purchase or lease terms. This means that prospective franchisees must independently identify and evaluate potential locations for their Americas Best Value Inn hotel.

For franchisees converting an existing hotel, Americas Best Value Inn will conduct an initial inspection and develop a Property Improvement Plan (PIP) outlining required renovations to meet brand standards. For new construction, Americas Best Value Inn will provide written specifications for construction and furnishing. Franchisees must submit their plans and designs for approval, but Americas Best Value Inn's approval does not guarantee the efficacy of the plans or compliance with local, state, and federal laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Ultimately, the franchisee bears the responsibility for ensuring the site is suitable and that all construction or renovation work complies with applicable regulations. This includes obtaining necessary insurance, permits, and certifications. While Americas Best Value Inn offers support in other areas such as training and brand standards, site selection remains the franchisee's independent undertaking.
