Rodeway Inns vs Tempo by Hilton Franchise Comparison

You’re all about the basics and you want the same in a hotel brand. The easy to operate, iconic Rodeway Inn is familiar to most travelers for its emphasis on value.

The total investment necessary to convert an existing hotel and begin operation of a 67-room Rodeway Inn hotel franchise is between $118,825-$572,495. This includes the following fees that must be paid to the franchisor or its affiliates as follows: an affiliation fee of $125 per room for new construction and $375 per room for transfers and renewals, $15,000 minimum; a property management system software license and systems training fee of between $5,250 and $9,250; and orientation and hospitality training fees of between $0 and $3,245 per person. These sums do not include the cost of any real estate taxes.

Hilton expects the first Tempo property to open in 2021 and is looking to target mainly urban and surban (areas just outside a major city that still offer a range of urban amenities) markets.Hilton has long championed the efficiencies of multi-brand properties, and Tempo by Hilton will pursue those opportunities when they are a good fit for a particular destination. Currently, there’s neither a set cost per key nor a minimum/maximum on room counts. The numbers will be market dependent, although the company anticipates 150 keys on average and is positioning Tempo to compete at roughly a 15 percent higher average daily rate than a Hilton Garden Inn in the same market.
