What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Atwell Suites' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the monthly technology service fees include a Property Management System (PMS) Solution Fee. For an Atwell Suites hotel with 175 rooms, the PMS Solution Fee is $4.25 per room per month. Therefore, a 175-room hotel would pay $743.75 per month for the PMS Solution Fee.
In addition to the PMS Solution Fee, Atwell Suites hotels also pay a Cloud PMS Implementation Fee of $70.00 per month for the first 48 months of operation. This fee covers the costs associated with deploying the Cloud PMS.
Furthermore, the FDD notes that hardware and software maintenance fees may vary based on the number of rooms at the hotel. For a hotel with 101-175 rooms, Holiday estimates the cost for Cloud PMS plus additional onsite training and support to be $24,000 to $29,000 annually. This broader estimate suggests that the total technology costs extend beyond the explicit PMS Solution and Implementation Fees. It's important to note that the PMS Solution Fee may increase by no more than 5% annually, with notice to Brand System Hotels.
