Presented  for your review is the First  Quarter 1998 Report for Marriott  Hotel
Properties II Limited Partnership.  The 1998 First Quarter Form 10-Q immediately
follows this letter and replaces the quarterly report format  previously used by
the  Partnership.  The  information  presented  is  essentially  the same as the

Partnership's performance and individual Hotel operations is included in Item 2,

Host Marriott Real Estate Investment Trust

On April 17, 1998, Host Marriott  Corporation ("Host Marriott"),  parent company
of the General Partner of the Partnership, announced that its Board of Directors
has authorized the company to reorganize its business operations to qualify as a
real estate investment trust ("REIT") to become effective as of January 1, 1999.
As part of the REIT  conversion,  Host Marriott  expects to form a new operating
partnership (the "Operating  Partnership")  and limited partners in certain Host
Marriott  full-service  hotel  partnerships  and joint  ventures,  including the
Partnership,  are  expected  to  be  given  an  opportunity  to  receive,  on  a
tax-deferred basis, Operating Partnership units in the new Operating Partnership
in exchange for their current partnership interest. We will keep you informed on
the status of this matter.

Investor Returns

Including the final 1997  distribution  made in April 1998 of $9,864 per limited
partner unit, the Partnership  distributed $26,621 per limited partner unit from
1997  operating  cash flow.  This  represents a 26.6% annual  return on invested
capital.  In addition,  in May 1998, the Partnership made a cash distribution of
$5,000 per limited  partner unit from first  quarter 1998  operating  cash flow.
Prospectively,  the Partnership expects to increase distribution  frequency from
its historic bi-annual distributions if operating results and forecasts indicate
it is warranted.
