No. Read the full schedule. Marriott’s March 31, 2026 Autograph Collection FDD discloses the following standard components; applicable notes, incentives and final agreements require review. These are background terms, not a September fee change. (hotel-development.marriott.com)
| Disclosed component | Schedule in Item 6 |
|---|---|
| Franchise charge | 5% of gross room sales |
| Program-services contribution | 2.02% of gross room sales, plus $38,488 annually, plus $450 per guestroom annually |

Illustration: At 80 rooms and $4 million of annual gross room sales, the first two components total $355,288, approximately 8.88% of room sales. That is before loyalty and other applicable charges, third-party management and conversion expenditure; it is not an all-in affiliation estimate. (hotel-development.marriott.com)
Desk application: Compare affiliation against a credible independent operating case, including costs replaced as well as costs added. Require evidence of genuinely incremental contribution, not simply bookings routed through a new channel.
