What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, general managers are required to attend an annual national leadership conference. However, the conference is typically held every 12 to 18 months. The national leadership conference may be included as part of a Wyndham Hotels & Resorts (WHR) multi-brand conference.
Costs for these conferences are determined annually and billed back to the franchisee, regardless of whether they attend. This means that even if a general manager does not attend the conference, the franchisee is still responsible for covering the costs.
This policy ensures that Baymont Inn Suites general managers stay informed about brand standards, company updates, and industry best practices. By potentially integrating the conference with a larger WHR event, Baymont Inn Suites aims to provide a comprehensive and efficient training experience.
