What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Bw Premier Collection FDD, a hotel will be responsible for a QA reassessment fee if the hotel does not pass a BWI QA assessment. The hotel will be reassessed without notice within, on, or about ninety (90) days of the failed assessment.
The QA reassessment fee is a cost recovery fee of $2,100. In addition to the fee, the hotel is required to provide a free room night to the QA inspector.
Maintaining a passing QA assessment is a requirement for Bw Premier Collection hotels to remain active on BWI Reservation Channels. These channels include bestwestern.com, the BWI reservations call center, and BWI connections to GDS systems. Failing to maintain a passing score can lead to reassessment fees and potential removal from key reservation platforms.
