Will Baymont Inn Suites prioritize Chain Facilities over other hotels in a destination?

According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Baymont Inn Suites prioritizes its Chain Facilities over other hotels when booking reservations. Specifically, if Chain Facilities have room availability, meet the guest's search criteria (including proximity), and are not in default under their Franchise Agreement, Baymont Inn Suites will prioritize them. This prioritization occurs through Baymont Inn Suites's central reservation system (CRS), call center, digital agents, consumer websites, and other distribution channels.

This prioritization benefits Baymont Inn Suites franchisees because it increases the likelihood that potential guests will book rooms at their properties through the brand's booking channels. This can lead to higher occupancy rates and increased revenue for franchisees. However, franchisees do not receive compensation for sales made through these distribution channels unless Baymont Inn Suites makes the reservation on their behalf.

It is important to note that Baymont Inn Suites retains the right to provide reservation services to lodging facilities other than Chain Facilities. This means that while Chain Facilities are prioritized, other hotels may still receive bookings through Baymont Inn Suites's channels. Additionally, the Lodging Affiliates have reciprocal programs for booking reservations at Chain Facilities, further supporting the occupancy of franchised locations.
