What This Means (2025 FDD)
I am unable to provide a specific list of services included in the definition of 'Hotel services' within Attachment A of the 2025 Atwell Suites Franchise Disclosure Document. While the document mentions Attachment A in the context of defining the hotel's physical structure, it does not detail the specific services that constitute 'Hotel services'.
However, the FDD does describe the Brand System, which includes elements designed to provide high-quality hotel service. These elements include access to a reservation system, loyalty programs, sales and catering systems, multiple call centers, brand marketing services, architectural drawings, training programs, and standards for operation and guest service. The FDD also mentions typical features of an Atwell Suites hotel, such as studio suites with a wet bar, a lobby with flexible meeting spaces, complimentary hot breakfast, and a paid evening bar.
To fully understand what Atwell Suites considers 'Hotel services' for the purposes of the franchise agreement, a prospective franchisee should ask the franchisor for a copy of Attachment A to the License Agreement and seek clarification on the specific services that franchisees are required to provide under the franchise agreement.
