What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, if a franchisee demonstrates continued non-compliance with rate standards, Baymont Inn Suites reserves the right to monitor the franchisee's rates, and this non-compliance may lead to suspension from certain marketing programs.
This means that Baymont Inn Suites franchisees must adhere to the rate standards set by the franchisor. Failure to do so can result in the franchisor monitoring the franchisee's pricing strategies more closely.
The most significant consequence of continued non-compliance is the potential suspension from participation in Baymont Inn Suites's marketing programs. This could severely limit a franchisee's ability to attract customers, as these programs are designed to drive business to individual franchise locations. Suspension from these programs would likely result in decreased revenue and profitability for the franchisee. Franchisees should ensure they understand and comply with all rate standards to avoid these penalties.
