According to Surestay Hotel By Best Western's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the Annual QA Assessment fee is currently $1,000. This fee is due and payable monthly upon statement receipt. The fee is payable following an annual Quality Assurance assessment.
This means that after Surestay Hotel By Best Western conducts its annual QA assessment of a franchisee's location, the franchisee will receive a statement and will be required to pay the $1,000 assessment fee at that time. The 'monthly upon statement receipt' phrasing indicates that while the assessment is annual, the payment is processed through the regular monthly billing cycle.
Prospective franchisees should be aware of this ongoing cost and factor it into their financial projections. It is important to maintain compliance with Surestay Hotel By Best Western's quality standards to avoid any negative repercussions related to the QA assessment.
