Fees based upon reservations delivered, no long-term agreement.

- Magnuson Hotels' fee structure offers free activation and is based upon reservations delivered without huge brand royalty fees, membership fees, special assessments, long-term contracts, required hotel renovations and expensive requirements.
- There is no lower cost way to drive occupancy and fill up your unsold rooms.
- Manage hotel from laptop or PDA; complete online reporting in up to 300 formats; arrival reports, production by source.
Most national franchises sell an average of 4% of your total available rooms, yet charge an average of 15% of your total revenue.
That means that the average US 100 room midscale hotel pays nearly $300,000 per year in franchise fees, regardless of the fact that your franchise contribution continues to decline each year. Required structural renovations such as approved breakfast bars, bathroom fixtures, corporate property management systems and brand compliance such as bedding, flat screen TVs, etc can sometimes run an additional $100,000 per year! That's like having a partner who takes 1/3 of the revenue while leaving the liabilities to you. Some partner!

So, the easiest way to determine the return on investment from your brand affiliation is to simply subtract all brand expenses from the documented annual reservation system contribution.
The answer is easy: would you rather pay a franchise or brand on all your revenue, or pay only on documented consumed revenue generated through our global reservation system?
With Magnuson Hotels, all other revenue you generate should be 100% yours. Franchises are in the brand business. Magnuson Hotels is in the hotel business, which means that we are focused on selling rooms. Like you, we have to get up early every morning to sell rooms or nobody gets a paycheck!
