What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to the 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the one-time set-up fee for Revenue Management Advisory Services for Springhill Suites By Marriott is detailed in Schedule C. Specifically, if a hotel did not participate in the franchisor's revenue management services during 2024, Springhill Suites By Marriott will provide set-up services and charge a one-time fee. However, a new-build hotel, or one recently converted to a Marriott brand, may not be assessed this fee if a letter of intent was signed more than 60 days prior to opening.
The FDD states that the set-up cost for each Springhill Suites By Marriott hotel is $3,500 USD. This fee covers a systems diagnostic audit conducted by the Revenue Management team. The key elements included in this fee are the One Yield 5-step inventory process, rate program reviews, special event setup, review of RPO comp set, Super Nova rate parity, High-Performance Pricing setup, and eFast setup.
This fee is due in full 60 days after the commencement date.
