What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Bw Premier Collection's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, a QA Reassessment Fee is charged if a hotel fails its initial Quality Assurance assessment. The fee covers the cost of the reassessment. Specifically, the Bw Premier Collection franchisee will be responsible for a $2,100 cost recovery fee. In addition to the monetary fee, the hotel is also required to provide a free room night to the QA Inspector during the reassessment.
This reassessment occurs approximately 90 days after the initial failed assessment, and the reassessment can occur without prior notice. Failing the initial QA assessment can therefore result in unexpected costs for the franchisee, both in terms of the fee and the lost revenue from providing a free room.
Franchisees should ensure they understand the QA standards and procedures to minimize the risk of failing the initial assessment and incurring this fee. Maintaining high standards and addressing any issues promptly can help avoid the QA Reassessment Fee and maintain good standing with the Bw Premier Collection franchise.
