Beyond the filing
Everything else on this page is quoted from LA QUINTA's franchise disclosure document. This is not — it is measured off the open web, it is not verified by the franchisor, and it never affects the Factbook Score.

Common questions
Answered from this brand's own FDD filing. Where the filing is silent, the question is left out rather than answered with a guess.
How much does a LA QUINTA franchise cost?
LA QUINTA's most recent Franchise Disclosure Document puts the total estimated initial investment at $3K–$3K. That is Item 7, which covers everything needed to open — the franchise fee, build-out, equipment, opening inventory and initial working capital. The initial franchise fee itself is $55,000, and is included in that range.
What royalty does LA QUINTA charge?
LA QUINTA charges a continuing royalty of Royalty 5.5% to 6%, disclosed in Item 6. Royalties are charged on revenue, not profit, so they are owed whether or not the outlet is profitable.
Does LA QUINTA disclose earnings (Item 19)?
Yes. LA QUINTA makes a financial performance representation in Item 19 of its FDD. Item 19 is optional under the FTC Franchise Rule, and gross revenue is not profit — it is stated before royalties, rent, staff and every other cost.
How many LA QUINTA locations closed?
In its most recent reported year (2025), LA QUINTA opened 22, closed 58, terminated 4 franchised outlets, ending the year with 1728. Averaged over three years, 2.8% of the system turned over annually — outlets closed, terminated, not renewed or reacquired. These counts come from Item 20, which every franchisor must file.
