What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Embassy Suites's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees may be required to complete an ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) survey to determine if the hotel complies with ADA standards. If Embassy Suites requests an ADA survey, the franchisee must complete it within 30 days of the request.
The ADA survey must be completed in conjunction with an approved ADA consultant and in the form required by Embassy Suites. The specific process for completing the survey and other related requirements will be detailed in the Embassy Suites standards manual.
This requirement ensures that all Embassy Suites hotels meet accessibility standards for guests with disabilities. Compliance with the ADA is crucial, and Embassy Suites may not approve the opening of a hotel if it does not comply with ADA standards. Franchisees are also responsible for submitting a plan to the ADA consultant detailing how the hotel will be brought into compliance if deficiencies are found.
