What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Best Western's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, all Best Western Plus hotels are required to use the Best Western Property Revenue Management (PRM) program. As of January 1, 2022, there is a cost-recovery fee associated with this program. The fee is determined by the Board of Directors.
Currently, the cost-recovery fee is $995 per month for a Best Western Plus hotel with 120 rooms or less. For larger hotels with 121 to 200 rooms, the fee is $1,195 per month. These fees are subject to change by the Board of Directors.
It's important to note that PRM program waivers may be granted based on business rules established by the Board. This suggests that under certain circumstances, a Best Western Plus franchisee might be eligible to have this fee waived. A prospective franchisee should inquire about the specific conditions under which a waiver could be granted.
