What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Baymont Inn Suites' 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a franchisee may be required to pay a Reconnection Fee of $4,000 under specific circumstances. This fee is triggered if the Central Reservation System service is suspended due to the franchisee's default under the Franchise Agreement or for any other reason.
In practical terms, this means that if a Baymont Inn Suites franchisee fails to meet their obligations as outlined in the agreement (such as payment obligations, adherence to brand standards, or other contractual requirements), the franchisor may suspend access to the Central Reservation System. This system is crucial for managing bookings and maintaining the hotel's connection to the broader Baymont Inn Suites network.
The franchisee will need to rectify the default and pay the $4,000 Reconnection Fee before the Central Reservation System service is restored. This fee is in place to cover the administrative and technical costs associated with suspending and then reinstating the service. Prospective franchisees should be aware of this potential expense and ensure they understand the terms of the Franchise Agreement to avoid situations that could lead to service suspension and the associated fee.
