Source and method

Every figure above comes from the Hampton by Hilton Franchise Disclosure Document issued 2026-03-30, as filed with the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions (filing 640540, registry record). The PDF is the franchisor's and is not hosted here; the item and page beside each figure is where to check it. Item 7 and Item 20 tables were read cell by cell; Item 19 was read by hand; each Item 20 year was checked to sum (start + opened − exits = end) before it was recorded.

A hotel franchise. Fees are per guest room, Item 7 is a whole hotel, and Item 19 reports occupancy, room rate and revenue per available room rather than revenue per unit..
