What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Springhill Suites By Marriott FDD, when a franchisee utilizes a Service Provider, Marriott will bill the franchisee a daily rate for each day the Service Provider works at the hotel. This daily rate applies whether the Service Provider works a full or partial day. The specific daily rate is detailed in the Schedule, which is likely an attachment to the franchise agreement.
In addition to the daily rate, Springhill Suites By Marriott will separately itemize and bill the franchisee for expenses related to the Service Provider's travel to and from the hotel, as well as costs for meals and related travel expenses. These charges are distinct from the daily service fee and cover the actual costs incurred for the Service Provider's travel and sustenance.
Springhill Suites By Marriott will periodically send these bills to the franchisee, and payment is expected upon receipt. This arrangement ensures that the franchisee compensates Marriott for both the Service Provider's time and any associated travel and meal expenses incurred during their service at the hotel.
