Exhibit 99.1

DEAR SHAREHOLDER
I am pleased to share with you results from the first quarter of 2006. We have enjoyed a great start for what I think is going to be a landmark year for Apple Hospitality Two, Inc.
For the three-month period ending March 31, 2006, our hotels proudly reported revenue per available room (RevPAR) of $81, more than a nine percent increase over the same period last year. Making up that number, average daily rate (ADR) increased by eight percent from the same period last year to $107 and occupancy rates rose one percentage point to 76 percent. Funds from operations during the first quarter of 2006 were above our budget, totaling $13.1 million or $0.31 per share. We paid our shareholders a dividend of $0.20 per share based on an eight percent annual return on a $10 share price.
Our brands, Marriott® and Hilton®, have consistently performed at the top of the extended-stay lodging segment. The March 6, 2006 issue ofBusiness Travel Newsannounced that the Homewood Suites by Hilton® brand was ranked by the magazine’s annual consumer survey as the number one upper-upscale extended-stay hotel chain in the United States. This marks the third consecutive year and fifth time overall that the brand has been selected for this honor. Furthermore, survey participants ranked the brand highest among all others for the physical appearance of the hotels and quality of the business centers.
As you are aware, we closely monitor the success of our properties through the results of their operations. After careful consideration, we decided to sell two of our Residence Inn® by Marriott® hotels to redirect the capital to higher returning assets. In March of 2006, we sold our Spartanburg, SC Residence Inn and our Charlotte, NC Residence Inn for a combined total of $5.8 million.
The extended-stay lodging industry has performed very well in recent years. According toHotel & Motel Management MagazineandSmith Travel Research,occupancy levels and ADR have consistently improved over the last several years in this segment of the market. As a result, by the end of 2005, the extended-stay segment reached pre-2001 revenue levels. I am very optimistic that 2006 will be a great year for Apple Hospitality Two. We continue to evaluate strategic alternatives for the Company, including a potential sale, listing or merger, and will keep you abreast of any new developments. As always, thank you for your investment.

(a) | Modified funds from operations (FFO) is defined as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles – GAAP) excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization plus transaction advisory fees. The company considers modified FFO in evaluating property acquisitions and its operating performance and believes that modified FFO should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash flows as a measure of the company’s activities in accordance with GAAP. Modified FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. |
