What This Means (2025 FDD)

According to Delta Hotels By Marriott's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, there is no specific "Learning & Development Bundle fee" listed in Item 6. However, there is mention of a "Residential Program and Service Bundle" if the hotel includes residential, condominium, or multi-family units that participate in a rental program. This bundle covers the cost of certain required, recurring residences specific programs and services, including an owner recognition platform, an owner engagement survey system, and certain required training programs.

The FDD excerpt includes a table outlining various fees, their amounts, and due dates. These fees range from Accounting Audit fees (due on demand) to Transaction-Based Media fees (8% of applicable gross room revenues, not to exceed a certain percentage). All of the fees listed in the provided table are due "on demand", except for the BT Room Nights Reserved During the Immediately Preceding Calendar Year fee, which has amounts listed but no due date specified in the excerpt.
