What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Global Translation Fee is currently $200 per language. This fee is invoiced to the franchisee. Baymont Inn Suites will translate the property's website into both English and Spanish. If a franchisee wants the website translated into additional languages, they must pay $200 for each additional language.
This fee is important for prospective franchisees to consider, especially if their hotel is located in an area with a significant population that speaks a language other than English or Spanish. Providing website translation into those languages could improve customer experience and potentially increase bookings.
Franchisees should evaluate their local market and determine if the potential benefits of additional language translations outweigh the $200 per language cost. It's also worth noting that Baymont Inn Suites has the right to modify this program, including the amount of the fees, in the future.
