What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if the franchisee is an entity, a representative with executive authority must attend each Chain conference. The franchisee or their representative is also responsible for paying the Conference Fee set for Chain Lodging franchisees when Baymont Inn Suites determines to hold a Chain conference.
The Chain conference may be part of a larger Wyndham Hotel Group, LLC multi-brand conference, potentially including sessions and programs specific to the Baymont Inn Suites brand. Mandatory recurrent training for franchisees and managers may also occur at these conferences.
Baymont Inn Suites will provide reasonable notice of any Chain Lodging conference and will invoice the Conference Fee, regardless of whether the franchisee or their representative attends. This ensures that franchisees or their designated representatives stay informed about brand standards, operational updates, and training opportunities, contributing to the consistency and quality of the Baymont Inn Suites brand across all franchised locations.
