    Affordable Suites of America vs Americas Best Value Inn

    Reviewed figures from each brand's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), side by side. Each figure carries its FDD year and page. This is not a ranking or recommendation, and the two FDDs may cover different years and location groups.

    Before you compare

    • Both sets of figures come from 2026 FDDs.
    • Americas Best Value Inn discloses more than one business format, so the investment range spans formats; the full report breaks them out.
