NATIONAL NEWS

Super 8 Motels and its parent company, HFS Incorporated, continue to be
a focus of the lodging spotlight as the first quarter of 1996 in concluded. The
mid-March Super 8 Motels International Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada, served
as the forum for several important announcements, particularly related to
marketing strategies.

"EXPERTS" MARKETING CAMPAIGN FOR 96/97

Super 8 introduced its print and broadcast "experts" campaign, which
utilizes real people rather than actors in selling the chain's attributes. The
30-second spot introduces Pete Robinson, a retired U.S. Army colonel, who tells
viewers that Super 8 surpasses even his high standards. Three 15-second spots
bring us a car wash owner, who talks about Super 8 cleanliness, a greeting card
salesman, who introduces viewers to the popular VIP Club card, and finally, the
owners of a copy center, who speak about Super 8's consistent quality and
service.

The campaign, created by Grey Advertising of New York, is running on
CNN, CNN Headline News, ESPN, TNN U.S. and Canada. TBS and print ads will be
carried in USA Today.

SUPER 8 JOINS NASCAR

Super 8 Motels Vice President of Marketing, Tom McNulty, announced that
Super 8 has teamed up with Winston Cup legend, Bill Elliott, as an associate
sponsor of his #94 Elliott-Hardy McDonald's Ford T-Bird. This exciting move
establishes Super 8 as the only lodging chain active in NASCAR sponsorship.

A study by Wake Forest University for NASCAR illustrates that over 90%
of NASCAR fans support sponsors' products. With auto racing now clearly the
number one sport in the country--reaching over 500 million live and television
viewers annually--this sponsorship is an ideal association for Super 8.

WORLD WIDE WEB PAGE LAUNCHED

For those customers now utilizing the ever-expanding computer technology
available today, Super 8's home page on the World Wide Web is now in place to
capture their attention. The site provides Internet browsers with general
information about the chain. Information can be accessed through two home ports:
The Travelweb Home Page (http://www.travelweb.com) and directly through the
Super 8 Home Page (http://www.super8motels.com/super8.html).

REGIONAL NEWS

THREE NATIONAL VIP WINNERS FROM PENINSULA

Peninsula Management Northwest-managed motels were once again honored
at the National level for outstanding performance in VIP sales. All Peninsula
properties excelled well above the national average--with three motels leading
the nation in their size category:

**Klamath Falls, Oregon (58-61 rooms)
**Kelso, Washington (65-87 rooms)
**Ellensburg, Washington (88+ rooms)

Each of these VIP top-producing properties received a check for $5,000
to share among its entire staff.

REGIONAL MEETINGS AUDIT QUARTER

Included in the '98 business planning and budgeting process was the
concept of Quarterly Regional Meetings. The first series of such meetings are
being held in late April and early May in Port Angeles, Washington, Corvallis,
Oregon, and at SeaTac.

The primary focus of the agendas will be careful analysis of the first
quarter's result of operations, strategies for any adjustments to plans deemed
necessary, and sales targets for Summer and Fall.

Advanced training in the area of sales will be conducted for each group
by Esin Davis, Director of Sales and Marketing, while individual time has been
allotted for each property manager to discuss localized issues with their
Regional Director.

CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST TESTED AT LACEY

In mid-April, a minor lobby reconfiguration was accomplished in Lacey
to facilitate the testing of the continental breakfast concept at that
location. This concept is increasingly found among the amenity packages of
competitors in many markets, thus Peninsula's interest in measuring its value,
or lack thereof, to its Super 8 customers. Should this test in Lacey produce
positive results, similar programs may be tested in other Northwest locations,
particularly those without adjacent dining.

NEW CONSTRUCTION SITES PROGRESS

The two new sites announced in the last issue of the Update are
progressing well. Ferndale, Washington has now been slated to open in October,
1996. Site preparation is completed, and the foundation is being installed as
of this writing.

The Woodburn, Oregon, site has an anticipated opening date in late
January, 1997. Site plans and building plans are currently being reviewed by
city officials, and subcontractors are working on off-site water and sewer.

Continuing this highly visible development on the I-5 corridor,
officers of the Peninsula Group have entered into an option to purchase a site
at the newly-constructed freeway interchange at the northerly end of Roseburg,
Oregon. Look for further details on the Roseburg project in the July Update.

NORTHWEST I

First Quarter 1996 operational results for Super 8 Motels Northwest I
show Total Sales increased by $94,542 over the first quarter of 1995. This is
an increase of 21%. Net Income grew to $126,790 from $72,866, for an increase
of $53,294 or 74%.

These increases are a result of Federal Way increasing occupancy by
over seven occupancy points, for a year-to-date occupancy of 64.32%. Even with
this jump in occupancy, Federal Way has also maintained an average daily rate
of $44.37. Total revenue increased over $27,000, while operating expenses were
tightly controlled. The result is that Net Income rose by almost $25,000
despite the expenditure of over $11,000 for planned property renovations.

SeaTac is beginning to feel the results of the extensive renovation
recently completed. First quarter occupancy rose from 40% in 1995 to 47% in
1996. Average daily rate increased by $5.52 to $57.07 for an increase of 11%
over 1995. Total revenue increased by over $66,000 or 27% over the same period
in 1995. Operating expenses were again well controlled, with the result of an
increase in Net Income from $30,000 to $63,000 after payment of interest and
lease expenses which are a result of borrowing money for the renovation.

If you have not had the opportunity to see the completed renovation, we
encourage you to do so. We have received many good comments on the "new look"
as well as the functional new design of the lobby and common areas. Guests
enjoy the new elevator and exercise room, as well as the brighter and more
up-to-date look of the rooms.

Your first quarter distribution in the amount of $25.00 per partnership
unit. This represents a 10% annualized return on your original investment.
Enclosed you will find occupancy charts and room rate comparisons, first
quarter unaudited financial statements and a copy of the December 31,
1995, year-end audited financial statements, as prepared by the Partnership's
certified public accounting firm of Moss Adams.

The partnership information meetings were held at the SeaTac Super 8
Motel on April 16, 1996, and at the Portland Super 8 Motel on April 18, 1996.
Attendance was very good and we appreciate your continued interest. One of the
comments at the meeting was that once again there had been offers made by
various liquidity funds to purchase units at far below the original cost of
$1,000. If you need to dispose of your units, you are urged to call your NASD
registered securities representative or the corporate office of The Peninsula
Group at (360) 943-8000, so that you may be assisted in assessing a fair value
for your units.

The official business meeting for Super 8 Motels Northwest I will be
held on Wednesday, June 12, 1996, at 10:30 a.m. at the corporate office located
at 7515 Terminal St. S.W., Turnwater, Washington.

Thank you for your continued support of Super 8 Motels Northwest I.
Remember, when making your summer travel plans, THINK SUPER 8. Call
1-800-800-8000 for reservations at any Super 8 Motel located in the United
States and Canada.
