According to the 2025 Sonesta Simply Suites Franchise Disclosure Document, Sonesta Simply Suites does not provide assistance with site selection. Specifically, the FDD states that Sonesta Simply Suites does not lease the premises to the franchisee, nor do they provide assistance with site selection or negotiations of the purchase or lease of the property.

This means that prospective Sonesta Simply Suites franchisees are solely responsible for finding and securing a location for their franchise. This includes all aspects of site selection, such as identifying suitable locations, evaluating demographics, negotiating lease terms, and conducting due diligence.

This lack of assistance places a greater burden on the franchisee, who must possess or acquire the necessary expertise to make informed decisions about site selection. It is important for potential franchisees to carefully consider this aspect and factor in the costs and risks associated with independently securing a location. Franchisees may want to seek external expert advice in real estate and legal matters.
