When must a Baymont Inn Suites franchisee pay the Reinspection Fee?

According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee must pay a Reinspection Fee if the facility fails its initial completion inspection. This fee is incurred when the facility does not meet Baymont Inn Suites's standards or conform to the approved plans, necessitating a return visit from Baymont Inn Suites representatives for another inspection.

In practical terms, this means that a prospective Baymont Inn Suites franchisee needs to ensure their facility is fully compliant with all brand standards and approved plans before scheduling the completion inspection. Failure to do so will result in the added expense of the Reinspection Fee, which is in addition to any costs associated with correcting the deficiencies identified during the initial inspection.

This policy incentivizes franchisees to diligently adhere to Baymont Inn Suites's standards from the outset, potentially saving them money and time. It also protects the brand's reputation by ensuring that all franchised locations meet a consistent level of quality and service before opening to the public. Franchisees should carefully review all requirements and seek clarification from Baymont Inn Suites on any points of uncertainty to avoid the need for a reinspection.
