What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Delta Hotels By Marriott outlines the costs and billing procedures for its Revenue Management Advisory Services (RMAS). The fees for these services are billed in equal monthly installments. For example, the annual fee for Tier III services is $38,046.81 USD / $41,703.95 CAD, which is billed at $3,170.57 USD / $3,475.33 CAD per month. Similarly, Tier V services have an annual fee of $76,099.98 USD / $83,407.90 CAD, billed monthly at $6,341.67 USD / $6,950.66 CAD. Extended Hours Support, if applicable, is billed at $86 USD per month, totaling $1,032 USD annually.
Delta Hotels By Marriott also notes that annual RMAS costs are allocated equally to all participating properties and are trued up annually, with the true-up not exceeding 10% of the annual cost. This suggests that while the monthly payments are equal, there may be an adjustment at the end of the year to account for any discrepancies in the allocated costs.
The FDD does not explicitly state whether the monthly fees are pro-rated if a franchisee joins the RMAS program mid-year or terminates the agreement before the end of the year. However, the annual true-up mechanism implies that some form of adjustment is possible, though the exact method of pro-ration (if any) is not detailed. A prospective franchisee should clarify the pro-ration policy with Delta Hotels By Marriott to understand how fees are handled for partial-year participation in the RMAS program.
