                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Trustees and Shareholders of Hospitality Properties Trust:

We have  audited the  accompanying  consolidated  balance  sheet of  Hospitality
Properties Trust and subsidiaries (a Maryland real estate investment trust) (the
"Company")  as of  December  31,  2001 and 2000,  and the  related  consolidated
statements of income,  shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2001. These financial  statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable  assurance about whether the financial  statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting  the amounts and  disclosures in the financial  statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by  management,  as well as  evaluating  the  overall  financial  statement
presentation.  We believe  that our audits  provide a  reasonable  basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of  Hospitality
Properties  Trust and  subsidiaries  as of  December  31,  2001 and 2000 and the
results of their  operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended  December 31, 2001, in conformity  with  accounting  principles
generally accepted in the United States.

1. Organization

         Hospitality   Properties  Trust  ("HPT")  is  a  Maryland  real  estate
investment  trust  organized on February 7, 1995,  which  invests in hotels.  At
December 31, 2001, HPT, directly and through subsidiaries, owned 230 properties.

         The properties of HPT and its  subsidiaries  (the "Company") are leased
to or managed by  subsidiaries  (the "Lessees" and the  "Managers") of companies
unaffiliated   with  HPT:   Host   Marriott   Corporation   ("Host");   Marriott
International,  Inc. ("Marriott");  Crestline Capital Corporation ("Crestline");
Wyndham   International,   Inc.  ("Wyndham");   Prime  Hospitality   Corporation
("Prime");  Candlewood Hotel Company,  Inc.  ("Candlewood");  and  BRE/Homestead
Village LLC ("Homestead").

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         Consolidation.  These  consolidated  financial  statements  include the
accounts of HPT and its  subsidiaries,  all of which are 100% owned  directly or
indirectly by HPT. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

         Real estate  properties.  Real estate  properties are recorded at cost.
Depreciation  is provided for on a  straight-line  basis over  estimated  useful
lives of 7 to 40 years. The Company periodically evaluates the carrying value of
its  long-lived  assets in  accordance  with  Statement of Financial  Accounting
Standards No. 121.

         Cash and cash equivalents. Highly liquid investments with maturities of
three months or less at date of purchase are considered to be cash  equivalents.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents is equal to its fair value.

         Deferred  financing costs. Costs incurred to borrow are capitalized and
amortized over the term of the related borrowing.  Deferred financing costs were
$6,627,  $8,643 and $10,221 at December 31, 2001,  2000 and 1999,  respectively,
net of accumulated amortization of $7,426, $5,009 and $2,941, respectively.

         Financial  instruments--interest  rate cap agreements.  The Company had
entered into interest rate  protection  agreements to limit exposure to risks of
rising  interest  rates.  In May 1999 the Company sold these  agreements for the
approximate  carrying  value at the time of the sale with no  resulting  gain or
loss.  As of December  31,  2001,  and 2000,  the Company was not a party to any
interest rate cap or swap agreements.

         Revenue recognition.  Rental income from operating leases is recognized
on a straight line basis over the life of the lease agreements.  Percentage rent
is recognized when all contingencies are met and rent is earned. Hotel operating
revenues,  consisting  primarily of room sales and sales of food,  beverages and
telephone  services are  recognized  when earned.  Some of the Company's  leases
provide  that FF&E Reserve  escrows are owned by the  Company.  All other leases
provide that FF&E Reserve  escrows are owned by the tenant and the Company has a
security and remainder interest in the escrow account. When the Company owns the
escrow for leased properties,  generally accepted accounting  principles require
that payments into the escrow be reported as additional  rent.  When the Company
has a security and remainder  interest in the escrow  account,  deposits are not
included in revenue.

         Per common share  amounts.  Per common share amounts are computed using
the weighted average number of common shares  outstanding during the period. The
Company has no common share  equivalents,  instruments  convertible  into common
shares or other dilutive instruments.

         Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management  to make
estimates and  assumptions  that affect reported  amounts.  Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

                  (dollars in thousands, except per share data)

         Segment  Information.  The Company  derives its revenues  from a single
line of business, hotel real estate ownership.

         Income taxes.  The Company is a real estate  investment trust under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company is not subject to Federal
income taxes on its net income  provided it  distributes  its taxable  income to
shareholders and meets certain other requirements.  The  characterization of the
distributions for 2001, 2000 and 1999 was 85.9%, 85.1% and 100% ordinary income,
respectively, and 14.1%, 14.9% and 0.0% return of capital, respectively.

         As permitted  by the REIT  Modernization  Act, or RMA,  during 2001 the
Company formed a so-called  "taxable REIT subsidiary," to act as lessee for some
of its hotels. The hotels leased to this subsidiary are operated by subsidiaries
of  Marriott  under a long-term  operating  agreement.  For  federal  income tax
purposes,  this subsidiary is a taxable entity separate from the Company's other
subsidiaries,  which are  generally not subject to federal  taxes,  as described
above.  During 2001, the Company  estimates that its taxable REIT subsidiary had
zero taxable income, and accordingly made no provision for federal income taxes.
As of December 31, 2001, the Company's taxable REIT subsidiary had no difference
between  the  bases  of its  assets  or  liabilities  under  generally  accepted
accounting principles and their tax bases.

         New accounting pronouncements.  In August 2001 the Financial Accounting
Standards  Board  ("FASB")  issued  Statement  No.  144,   "Accounting  for  the
Impairment  or  Disposal  of  Long-Lived  Assets"  ("FAS  144").  The Company is
required to adopt FAS 144 on January 1, 2002,  and does not expect the  adoption
will have a material  effect on the Company's  financial  position or results of
operations.

         In June 2001 the FASB issued Statement No. 141, "Business Combinations"
("FAS 141") and Statement No. 142,  "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("FAS
142").  Adoption of FAS 141 and FAS 142 did not have and is not expected to have
a material impact on the Company's  financial position or results of operations.
FASB  Statement  No. 133  "Accounting  for  Derivative  Instruments  and Hedging
Activities" was adopted for the Company's 2001 financial  statements and did not
have a  material  impact on the  Company's  financial  condition  or  results of
operations.

3. Preferred Shares

         Each  of  the  Company's  3,000,000  outstanding  Series  A  cumulative
redeemable preferred shares has a distribution rate of $2.375 per annum, payable
in equal  quarterly  amounts,  and a  liquidation  preference of $25 ($75,000 in
aggregate).  Series A preferred shares are redeemable,  at the Company's option,
for $25 each plus accrued and unpaid distributions at any time on or after April
12, 2004.

4. Leases and Operating Agreements

         Each of the Company's 230 hotel properties are leased to or operated by
a third party. The Company's agreements have initial terms expiring between 2010
and 2019.  Each of these  agreements is for a group or pool of between 12 and 53
of the Company's properties. The agreements contain renewal options for all, but
not less than all, of the related properties,  and the renewal terms total 20-48
years.  Each agreement  requires the third-party  lessee or operator to: pay all
operating  costs  associated  with the  property;  deposit a percentage of total
hotel  sales into  reserves  established  for the regular  refurbishment  of the
Company's  hotels  ("FF&E  Reserves");  make  payments to the Company of minimum
rents or returns;  and make payments to the Company of additional  returns equal
to 5%-10% of increases in total hotel sales over a base year  threshold  amount.
Each third party has posted a security or  performance  deposit with the Company
generally equal to one year's minimum rent or return.

         In 2001 some hotels which the Company previously leased and four hotels
which the Company  purchased  on June 15,  2001,  began to be  operated  under a
management contract by an affiliate of their former tenant. A total of 16 hotels
are now leased to a taxable  REIT  subsidiary  of the Company and  operated by a
third party under a long-

term agreement.  As a result,  hotel operating  revenues and expenses from these
hotels are reflected in the Company's consolidated  financial statements.  These
hotels  are pooled  with 19 other  hotels  which will be leased  under the prior
agreement  until the third party  operator  elects to operate them under the new
management agreement during 2002.

         The Company's leases and operating  agreements  provide for payments to
be received by the Company during the remaining initial terms as follows:

         As of December 31, 2001, the weighted average  remaining  initial terms
of the Company's leases and operating agreements was approximately 14 years, and
the weighted average remaining total term was 51 years.

         As further  described in Note 8, a number of the  Company's  leases and
operating  agreements  are subject to guarantees by the parent  company owner of
the Company's tenant or operator.  In addition to the security deposits provided
by the lessee equal to one year's rent, two of the Company's  lease  guarantors,
as of December 31, 2001, have deposited an aggregate $26,565 with the Company to
secure  their  guarantee  obligations.  Generally,  the Company is  obligated to
refund these  guarantee  deposits if and when certain  financial  performance is
achieved at the related  leased  hotels.  During the time the Company  holds the
guarantee deposits,  total net payments due from these tenants and guarantors to
the Company are reduced by $2,899 per annum.

5. Real Estate Properties

         The Company's  real estate  properties,  at cost,  consisted of land of

equipment of $297,857, as of December 31, 2001, and land of $319,219,  buildings
and  improvements  of  $1,837,888  and  furniture,  fixtures  and  equipment  of
$272,314,  as of December 31,  2000.  During  2001,  2000 and 1999,  the Company
purchased  and  leased  8, 12 and 40  properties,  respectively,  for  aggregate
purchase  prices of $185,487,  $128,548 and $361,000  excluding  closing  costs,
respectively.  As of December 31, 2001,  the Company  owned and leased 230 hotel
properties.  During 2001, 2000 and 1999, the Company invested $2,507, $5,805 and
$1,787,  respectively,  in its existing  hotels in excess of amounts funded from
FF&E Reserves. As a result of these additional  investments,  tenant obligations
to the Company for annual minimum lease payments  increased $251, $581 and $179,
respectively.

         All of the  Company's  senior  notes  are  prepayable  prior  to  their
maturity date.  Notes due in 2008 and 2010 are prepayable at anytime at par plus
a premium  equal to a  make-whole  amount,  as  defined,  generally  designed to
preserve a stated yield to the note  holder.  Notes due 2005 are  prepayable  at
anytime at par. Notes due 2009 are not prepayable until December 15, 2002, after
which they are prepayable at anytime at par.

         Interest  on  the  Company's   notes  due  2008  and  2010  is  payable
semi-annually  in arrears.  Interest on the Company's notes due 2005 and 2009 is
payable monthly in arrears.

         The Company's $300 million  revolving  credit facility is available for
draw and repayment until March 2002, at which time any  outstanding  amounts are
due. The revolving credit facility  carries  interest at floating rates.  During
2001,  2000  and  1999,  the  weighted  average  interest  rate  on the  amounts
outstanding  under  the  revolving  credit  facility  was  5.5%,  8.3% and 6.2%,
respectively.  As of December  31, 2001 and 2000,  no amounts  were  outstanding
under the facility.

         The company's  credit agreement and note indentures  contain  financial
covenants  which,  among other  things,  restrict  the ability of the Company to
incur  indebtedness  and require the  Company to maintain  financial  ratios and
minimum net worth. The Company was in compliance with these covenants during the
periods presented.

         As of December 31, 2001,  none of the Company's  assets were pledged or
mortgaged.  The estimated  aggregate market value of the Company's  indebtedness
based on a combination of their  observable  trading prices and quotations  from
financial institutions for similar obligations were:

8. Concentration

         At December 31, 2001, the Company's 230 hotels  contained  31,691 rooms
and were located in 37 states in the United  States,  with between 5% and 13% of
its hotels,  by investment,  in each of California,  Texas,  Virginia,  Georgia,
Florida, and Arizona.

         All of the Company's third party tenants or operators are  subsidiaries
of other  companies.  Many of the  Company's  agreements  include  guarantees of
minimum  rents or  returns by the parent  company of the  third-party  tenant or
operator.  The  percentage  of the  Company's  investment in each pool of hotels
shown below as of December 31, 2001,  is  approximately  equal to the  Company's
percentage of minimum rent and return  payments shown in Note 4 and reflected in
the accompanying financial statements for 2001.

         Guarantees  provided to the Company  from  Marriott and  Crestline  are
limited,  in the  case of 35  hotels  to  $48.3  million,  and in the case of 19
hotels,  to $31.2 million.  These  guarantees  expire in 2005, or earlier if and
when the related hotels reach  negotiated net operating  results  levels.  Other
guarantees  are  unlimited as to amounts,  and do not expire with the passage of
time.  These other  guarantees  are subject to release  when the related  hotels
reach  negotiated  annual net operating  results  levels,  except that if the 18
Homestead hotels reach their negotiated  annual net operating  results for three
years,  the  guarantee  from  BRE/Homestead  Village LLC may only be released if
additional cash or a letter of credit is posted with the Company.

         Each of the Company's hotels is combined as a part of a single lease or
operating  agreement,  as outlined in the above table. During a portion of 2001,
16 hotels in the 35 hotel combination operated by Marriott began to be leased to
the Company's taxable REIT subsidiary,  but remained operated by Marriott, under
an  arrangement  which  provides the Company with  aggregate  minimum  rents and
returns  for all 35  hotels  of $48.3  million  per  annum.  The  aggregate  net
operating  results  of all 35 hotels  were in excess  of the  aggregate  minimum
return to the Company  during 2001 and no payments under the guarantee were due.
However, the 16 hotels leased to the Company's taxable REIT subsidiary generated
net operating  results which were $1.9 million less than the minimum returns due
to the Company. This amount has been reflected in the accompanying  statement of
income as a net reduction to hotel operating expenses.

         During  2001,  2000 and  1999  total  hotel  sales  for  each  group of
properties  reflected  above  were in excess  of the  aggregate  of total  hotel
expenses  and minimum  rent or returns due to and paid to the Company  except in
the case of 24 hotels leased to a subsidiary of Prime.  Shortfalls  representing
3.1%,  2.3% and 3.0% of total 2001, 2000 and 1999 total revenue were paid to the
Company as and when due by this tenant or its affiliates.
