Re: Registration Statement for $650,000,000 Aggregate Principal Amount of 6 ³/8% Securities O Notes due 2015

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Host Marriott, L.P., a Delaware limited Partnership (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance of up to $650,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6 ³/8% Series 0 Senior Notes due 2015 (the “Securities”) and the guarantees of the Securities (the “Guarantees”) by the guarantors listed on Schedule A (the “Guarantors”), under the Sixteenth Supplemental Indenture dated March 10, 2005, among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York, as trustee (the “Trustee”), which supplements the Amended and Restated Indenture, dated as of August 5, 1998 (as so supplemented, the “Indenture”) originally among the Company, the guarantors named therein and HSBC Bank USA (f/k/a Marine Midland Bank), as trustee, and pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-4 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 19, 2005, as amended by Amendment No. 1, filed with the Commission on June10, 2005 (the “Registration Statement”). This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or Prospectus, other than as to the enforceability of the Securities and Guarantees.

As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter. With your consent, we have relied upon the foregoing and upon certificates and other assurances of officers of the Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters.

We are opining herein as to the internal laws of the State of New York, the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction or, in the case of Delaware, any other laws, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that as of the date hereof:

(1) When the Securities have been duly executed, issued, authenticated and delivered by or on behalf of the Company against delivery and payment therefor in accordance with the Indenture and in the circumstances contemplated by the form of purchase agreement filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement, the Securities and the Guarantees will have been duly authorized by all necessary partnership or limited liability company action of the Company and each of the Guarantors organized in the State of Delaware, respectively, and will be legally valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantors, respectively, enforceable against them in accordance with their respective terms.

The opinion rendered in paragraph 1 relating to the enforceability of the Securities and the Guarantees, respectively, is subject to the following exceptions, limitations and qualifications: (a) the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors; (b) the effect of general principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought; (c) the unenforceability under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy; (d) we express no opinion concerning the enforceability of (i) the waiver of rights or defenses contained in Section 4.4 of the Indenture; (ii) any provision requiring the payment of attorneys’ fees, where such payment is contrary to law or public policy; or (iii) any provision to the extent it requires any party to indemnify any other person against loss in obtaining the currency due following a court judgment rendered in another currency.

With your consent, we have assumed (a) that the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of, the Trustee, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, and (b) that the status of the Indenture and the Securities and the Guarantees as legally valid and binding obligations of the respective parties thereto is not affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities.

This opinion is for your benefit in connection with the Registration Statement and may be relied upon by you and by persons entitled to rely upon it pursuant to the applicable provisions of federal securities laws. We consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm contained in the Prospectus under the heading “Validity of Securities.” In giving such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the

Very truly yours,
