     RED LION INNS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                        

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Red
Lion Inns Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), and its subsidiary limited partnership, Red Lion Inns Operating
L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership").  The
Partnership was organized for the purpose of acquiring and owning, through the
Operating Partnership, ten Red Lion hotels (the "Hotels" or  individually, a
"Hotel").  On April 14, 1987 (the date of the Partnership's inception), the
Operating Partnership acquired the Hotels from Red Lion, a California Limited
Partnership ("Historical Red Lion"), which continued to manage the Hotels under
a long-term management agreement (the "Management Agreement").  All significant
intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

Red Lion Hotels, Inc. ("Red Lion") was incorporated in Delaware in March 1994
and commenced operations in March 1995.  On August 1, 1995, Historical Red Lion
contributed substantially all of its assets (excluding 17 hotels and certain
related obligations, certain minority joint venture interests and certain
current assets) and certain liabilities to Red Lion.  In connection with this
transaction, Historical Red Lion assigned the Management Agreement to Red Lion,
which continues to operate and manage the Hotels thereunder. The Management
Agreement expires in 2012 and can be extended by Red Lion for an additional ten
five-year periods.  The general partner of the Partnership and Operating
Partnership is Red Lion Properties, Inc. (the "General Partner"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Red Lion.  Red Lion became a publicly held company in July 1995.
Red Lion files reports and other information with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and
the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  While management endeavors
to make accurate estimates, actual results could differ from estimates.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of
management, all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature,
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Partnership at June
30, 1996 and the results of operations and cash flows for the six month periods
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for a full fiscal year.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year
presentation.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the Partnership's annual consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto.

                                       7

 
Operating Revenues and Expenses and Current Assets and Current Liabilities

Revenues reported in the accompanying statements of income represent the gross
operating profit of the Hotels which is credited to the Partnership from Red
Lion under the terms of the Management Agreement.  Operating revenues and
expenses and the current assets and current liabilities of the Hotels are
included in the consolidated financial statements of Red Lion and are excluded
from the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Partnership
because Red Lion, and not the Partnership, has operating responsibility for the
Hotels and such operating responsibility is substantially the same as that for
owned hotels.

Income Taxes

No current provision for federal or state income taxes has been provided by the
Partnership in the accompanying consolidated financial statements since such
taxes are the responsibility of the individual partners.  However, as discussed
in Note 2, deferred income taxes have been provided for the projected
differences between the financial accounting and tax bases of property and
equipment on January 1, 1998, when the Partnership will cease to be a nontaxable
entity and income will be taxed at the Partnership level with distributions to
individual partners taxed as dividends.

2.  INCOME TAXES

DURING 1987, CONGRESS PASSED THE OMNIBUS BUDGET RECONCILIATION ACT WHICH, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, TREATS THEN EXISTING PUBLICLY-TRADED PARTNERSHIPS AS CORPORATIONS
FOR TAX PURPOSES FOR YEARS BEGINNING AFTER DECEMBER 31, 1997.  THE PARTNERSHIP
IS NOT CURRENTLY A TAXABLE ENTITY.  THE EFFECT OF TREATING PUBLICLY-TRADED
PARTNERSHIPS AS CORPORATIONS WILL BE TO TAX THE INCOME OF THE PARTNERSHIP AT THE
ENTITY LEVEL AND CHANGE THE NATURE OF DISTRIBUTIONS TO LIMITED PARTNERS, MAKING
FUTURE DISTRIBUTIONS TAXABLE DIVIDENDS.  THE PAYMENT OF INCOME TAXES BY THE
PARTNERSHIP WILL NOT REDUCE CASH AVAILABLE FOR PAYMENT OF THE INCENTIVE
MANAGEMENT FEES TO RED LION DESCRIBED IN NOTE 3. INSTEAD, THE PAYMENT OF INCOME
TAXES BY THE PARTNERSHIP WILL DIRECTLY REDUCE PARTNER DISTRIBUTIONS.

3.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The General Partner is responsible for the management and administration of the
Partnership.  In accordance with the partnership agreement, the Partnership
reimburses the General Partner for related administrative costs.

Under the Management Agreement, the Partnership pays base and incentive
management fees to Red Lion.  Base management fees payable to Red Lion are equal
to 3% of the annual gross revenues of the Hotels.  Incentive management fees
payable to Red Lion are equal to the sum of 15% of annual adjusted gross
operating profit up to $36 million (operating profit target) and 25% of adjusted
gross operating profit in excess of the operating profit target.  Adjusted gross
operating profit is gross operating profit (the revenues reported in the
accompanying financial statements) less base management fees.

Incentive management fees are only payable to the extent that cash flow
available for distributions and incentive management fees ("Cash Flow") on an
annual basis, as defined in the Management Agreement, exceeds $2.20 per unit
("Priority Return").  Cash Flow is defined as pre-tax income (or loss) before
noncash charges (primarily depreciation and amortization) and incentive
management fees, but after the reserve for capital improvements and principal
payments on certain debt.  Incentive management fees that are earned but not
paid on an annual basis because of the Cash Flow limitation are deferred without
interest up to a maximum of $6 million.

Once the Partnership becomes a taxable entity in 1998, a portion of the Priority
Return will be used to pay any income taxes payable by the Partnership, thereby
reducing the quarterly distributions to limited partners.  In addition, the
Priority Return can be used to repay certain indebtedness owed to Red Lion or to
fund capital improvements.

                                       8

 
The Hotels, in accordance with the Management Agreement, are also charged by Red
Lion for their pro rata share of support services such as computer, advertising,
public relations, promotional and sales and central reservation services.

All Partnership personnel are employees of Red Lion and its affiliates.  All
costs for services of such employees are reimbursed to Red Lion by the Operating
Partnership.  These costs include salaries, wages, payroll taxes and other
employee benefits.  Additionally, auxiliary enterprises owned by Red Lion sell
operating supplies, furnishings and equipment to the Partnership.

Amounts payable to affiliate consists of the following (in thousands):

Included in the amounts payable to affiliate are $22,455,000 and $19,078,000 at
June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively, representing amounts payable
to Red Lion primarily for advances made by Red Lion for capital improvements
which exceeded the 3% reserve established in accordance with the provisions of
the Management Agreement.  The amounts advanced for capital improvements incur
interest at the rate of prime plus 0.5%  (8.75% and 9.0% at June 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995, respectively).

Long-term payables to affiliate are non-interest bearing amounts comprised of
deferred incentive management fees and a General Partner credit facility.
Deferred incentive management fees payable were $701,000 and $6,000,000 at June
30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.  Of such amount at June 30, 1996,
$60,000 is classified as a current payable to affiliate which represents an
estimate of the amount to be repaid to Red Lion in January 1997 out of excess
cash flow for the year ended December 31, 1996.  The amount drawn against the
General Partner credit facility was $3,726,000 at June 30, 1996 and December 31,
1995 and is classified as a long-term payable.

Amounts payable to affiliate are recorded net of an amount for the current
assets and current liabilities of the Hotels of $3,231,000 and $2,194,000 at
June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively.  The current assets and
current liabilities of the Hotels consist of cash held in hotel accounts,
accounts receivable, inventories, prepaid expenses, hotel accounts payable and
certain taxes other than property, income and payroll taxes. Since Red Lion has
operating responsibilities associated with the Hotels, these current asset and
current liability items are excluded from the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.

On April 2, 1996, the Partnership entered into a three-year $125 million credit
facility. The credit facility includes a $120 million term loan and a $5 million
revolving credit line. The proceeds of the new term loan were used to pay in
full all amounts owed under the prior mortgage note and revolving credit
facility, to pay a portion of the payable to affiliate related to deferred
incentive management fees, as discussed in Note 3, and to pay loan fees.
Borrowings under the facility bear interest at the London Interbank Offering
Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.25% (8% at June 30, 1996) and are secured by the Hotels.
Principal payments on the three-year term loan will amount to $1.5 million, $2.4
million and $3.2 million for 1996, 1997 and 1998, respectively, with a lump-sum
payment of $112.9 million due at the end of the term (March 31, 1999).

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Partnership enters into interest rate swap agreements in order to reduce its
exposure to interest rate fluctuations.  The agreements have effectively
converted floating rate debt, which is tied to LIBOR, to fixed rates.
Accordingly, the net interest received or paid on the interest rate swap is
recorded as an adjustment to interest expense.

At June 30, 1996, the Partnership had four interest rate swap agreements
outstanding which have substantially converted $100 million of debt from
floating LIBOR based rates to fixed rates ranging from 6.17% to 6.23%.  The
agreements expire from December 1998 to March 1999.  Interest expense incurred
by the Partnership relating to interest rate swap agreements for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1996, was approximately $130,000 and is included as an
adjustment to interest expense.

5.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

At June 30, 1996, the Partnership had commitments relating to capital
improvement projects of $2.8 million.

The Partnership is subject to litigation arising in the ordinary course of
business.  In the opinion of management, these actions will not have a material
adverse effect, if any, on the financial position or results of operations or
liquidity of the Partnership or its subsidiary.

ITEM 2  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
- ------  -----------------------------------------------------------------------
        OF OPERATIONS
        -------------

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 1998, THE PARTNERSHIP WILL BE SUBJECT TO TAXES ON ITS
INCOME.  THE EFFECT OF THIS WILL BE TO REDUCE CURRENT DISTRIBUTIONS TO LIMITED
PARTNERS BY THE AMOUNT OF THESE INCOME TAXES.  INCOME TAXES WILL NOT REDUCE
AMOUNTS AVAILABLE FOR PAYMENT TO RED LION OF ANY FEES DUE UNDER THE MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT. DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTNERS WILL BE CONSIDERED TAXABLE DIVIDENDS.

The revenues of the Partnership represent the gross operating profit of the
Hotels which is credited to the Partnership from Red Lion under the terms of the
Management Agreement.  The gross operating revenues and expenses of the Hotels
are included in the consolidated financial statements of Red Lion, and are
excluded from the financial statements of the Partnership, because Red Lion, and
not the Partnership, has operating responsibility for the Hotels.  The following
table sets forth Red Lion's operating revenues and expenses associated with the
Hotels (in thousands):

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

Gross Revenues of the Hotels.  For the three months ended June 30, 1996, gross
- -----------------------------                                                 
revenues rose to $29.4 million from $28.4 million in the comparable quarter
ended June 30, 1995, an increase of  approximately $1 million or 4%.  The rise
in gross revenues is primarily a result of increased room revenues.

During the three months ended June 30, 1996, room revenues rose to $18 million
from $17.1 million in the comparable three months ended June 30, 1995, an
increase of 5%. The increase in room revenues is due principally to higher
average room rates.  The average occupancy rate was slightly lower for the
current quarter due in part to the effects of renovation work at various hotels.

                                       11

 
A summary of occupancy and room rates for the Hotels for the three months ended
June 30 is as follows:


 
                         1996     1995
                        -------  -------
                           
Occupancy Percentage      77.9%    80.9%
Average Room Rate       $82.71   $75.87


Operating results are affected by seasonality.  The current quarter results
reflect spring and early summer seasons in which revenues are typically lower
than in the third quarter but higher than in the first quarter.  There can be no
assurance, however, that such trends will continue.

Gross Operating Costs and Expenses of the Hotels. Gross operating costs and
- -------------------------------------------------                          
expenses of the Hotels for the three months ended June 30, 1996 rose slightly to
$17.6 million from $17.2 million in the comparable three months ended June 30,
1995, an increase of $400,000 or 2%.  Gross operating costs and expenses as a
percentage of gross revenues of the Hotels remained relatively constant at 60%
and 61% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Gross Operating Profit of the Hotels.  Gross operating profit as a percentage of
- -------------------------------------                                           
revenues was 40% and 39% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

Partnership Revenues. During the three months ended June 30, 1996, revenues
- ---------------------                                                      
(which represent the gross operating profits of the Hotels credited from Red
Lion) increased to $11.8 million from $11.2 million in the comparable three
months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of 5%.  The changes in gross revenues
and expenses of the Hotels that affect the amounts credited from Red Lion are
discussed above.

Partnership Operating Costs and Expenses.  Operating costs and expenses for the
- -----------------------------------------                                      
three months ended June 30, 1996 increased by 11% from the three months ended
June 30, 1995.  The increase is due to higher base and incentive management fees
as a result of increased partnership revenues.  Additionally, depreciation and
amortization increased as a result of capital expenditures made in 1996 to
renovate certain hotels.

Incentive Management Fee.  Incentive management fees payable to Red Lion are
- -------------------------                                                   
equal to the sum of 15% of annual adjusted gross operating profit up to $36
million and 25% of adjusted gross operating profit in excess of $36 million.
Adjusted gross operating profit is gross operating profit (Partnership revenues)
less base management fees (3% of gross revenues of the Hotels).  Incentive
management fees are only payable to the extent that cash flow available for
distributions and incentive management fees ("Cash Flow") on an annual basis, as
defined in the Management Agreement, exceeds $2.20 per unit ("Priority Return").
Cash Flow is defined as pre-tax income (or loss) before noncash charges
(primarily depreciation and amortization) and incentive management fees, but
after the reserve for capital improvements and principal payments on certain
debt.

Once the Partnership becomes a taxable entity in 1998, a portion of the Priority
Return will be used to pay any income taxes payable by the Partnership, thereby
reducing the quarterly distributions to limited partners.  In addition, the
Priority Return can be used to repay certain indebtedness owed to Red Lion or to
fund capital improvements.

During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership accrued $2.7
million (15% of year-to-date adjusted gross operating profit) of incentive
management fees to be paid to Red Lion.

Operating Income. Operating income before incentive management fee and
- -----------------                                                     
depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 1996 rose to
$9.5 million from $9.2 million in the comparable three months ended June 30,
1995, an increase of 3%.  After incentive management fee and depreciation and
amortization expense, operating income for the three months ended June 30, 1996
decreased to $4.3 million from $4.4 million in the comparable three months ended
June 30, 1995, a decrease of 2%. The decrease is predominantly due to the
increases in depreciation and amortization and incentive management fee
discussed above.

                                       12

 
Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased approximately $170,000 to $3.1
- -----------------                                                           
million for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $2.9 million for
the three months ended June 30, 1995.  The increase is primarily due to a higher
average outstanding principal balance and  interest rate swap agreement
adjustments.

Income Tax Expense.  During the three months ended June 30, 1996, the
- -------------------                                                  
Partnership provided for deferred income tax of approximately $150,000.
Deferred income tax arises primarily from differences in depreciation for
financial accounting and tax purposes.  The Partnership is not currently a
taxable entity.  However, for years beginning after December 31, 1997, income
will be taxed at the partnership level.

Net Income.  During the three months ended June 30, 1996, net income was $1.1
- -----------                                                                  
million ($.26 per limited partner unit) compared to $1.6 million ($.37 per
limited partner unit) for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease in
net income is due primarily to increases in Partnership operating costs and
expenses and interest expense and recognition of deferred income taxes at the
partnership level.

Cash Flow decreased for the three months ended June 30, 1996 to $5 million
($1.18 per limited partner unit) from the three months ended June 30, 1995 of
$5.3 million ($1.25 per limited partner unit), a decrease of approximately
$300,000 ($.07 per limited partner unit) or 6%.  The decrease in Cash Flow is
due to the factors impacting net income, discussed above, and higher principal
repayments of certain debt.

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

Gross Revenues of the Hotels.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996, gross
- -----------------------------                                               
revenues rose to $54.3 million from $52.1 million in the comparable six months
ended June 30, 1995, an increase of  approximately $2.2 million or 4%.  The rise
in gross revenues is primarily a result of increased room and other revenues.

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, room revenues rose to $31.9 million
from $30.5 million in the comparable six months ended June 30, 1995, an increase
of 5%. The increase in room revenues is due principally to higher average room
rates.  The average occupancy rate declined during the current six month period
due in part to the effects of renovation work at various hotels.

                                       13

 
A summary of occupancy and room rates for the Hotels for the six months ended
June 30 is as follows:


 
                         1996     1995
                        -------  -------
                           
Occupancy Percentage      71.8%    73.9%
Average Room Rate       $79.74   $74.35


During the six months ended June 30, 1996, other revenues rose to $5.8 million
from $5 million in the comparable six months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of
16%.  The increase in other revenues is due principally to increased banquet
room rentals and ancillary banquet services.

Gross Operating Costs and Expenses of the Hotels. Gross operating costs and
- -------------------------------------------------                          
expenses of the Hotels for the six months ended June 30, 1996 rose to $34.6
million from $33.1 million in the comparable six months ended June 30, 1995, an
increase of $1.5 million or 5%.  Gross operating costs and expenses as a
percentage of gross revenues of the Hotels remained constant at 64% for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Gross Operating Profit of the Hotels.  Gross operating profit as a percentage of
- -------------------------------------                                           
revenues was 36% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Partnership Revenues. During the six months ended June 30, 1996, revenues (which
- ---------------------                                                           
represent the gross operating profits of the Hotels credited from Red Lion)
increased to $19.7 million from $19 million in the comparable six months ended
June 30, 1995, an increase of 4%.  The changes in gross revenues and expenses of
the Hotels that affect the amounts credited from Red Lion are discussed above.

Partnership Operating Costs and Expenses.  Operating costs and expenses for the
- -----------------------------------------                                      
six months ended June 30, 1996 increased by 2% from the six months ended June
30, 1995.  The increase is primarily due to higher base and incentive management
fees as a result of increased partnership revenues.

Incentive Management Fee.   During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the
- -------------------------                                                 
Partnership accrued $2.7 million (15% of year-to-date adjusted gross operating
profit) of incentive management fees to be paid to Red Lion.

Operating Income. Operating income before incentive management fee and
- -----------------                                                     
depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 1996 rose to
$15.5 million from $14.9 million in the comparable six months ended June 30,
1995, an increase of 4%.  After incentive management fee and depreciation and
amortization expense, operating income in the six months ended June 30, 1996
rose to $7.9 million from $7.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 1995, an
increase of 7%. As a percentage of revenues, operating income is relatively
constant at 40% and 39% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The increases are predominantly due to the higher revenues
discussed above.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased approximately $270,000 to $5.9
- -----------------                                                           
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $5.6 million for
the six months ended June 30, 1995. The increase is primarily due to a higher
average outstanding principal balance and  interest rate swap agreement
adjustments.

Income Tax Expense.  During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership
- -------------------                                                            
provided for deferred income taxes of approximately $250,000.  Deferred income
tax arises primarily from differences in depreciation for financial accounting
and tax purposes. The Partnership is not currently a taxable entity.  However,
for years beginning after December 31, 1997, income will be taxed at the
partnership level.

Net Income.  During the six months ended June 30, 1996, net income was $1.7
- -----------                                                                
million ($.41 per limited partner unit) compared to $1.8 million ($.42 per
limited partner unit) for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease in
net income is due primarily to increased interest expense and the recognition of
deferred income taxes at the partnership level which was offset by improved
operating income.

Cash Flow Available for Distribution and Incentive Management Fees. Cash Flow
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
remained relatively constant at $7.2 million ($1.71 and $1.70 per limited
partner unit) for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Partnership's principal source of cash is hotel operations.  During the six
months ended June 30, 1996, the Hotels generated sufficient cash from operations
to cover operating needs.  It is expected that, for the remainder of 1996, cash
provided by both operations and the credit facilities, discussed below, or by
Red Lion will be sufficient to meet anticipated cash requirements.

On April 2, 1996 the Partnership entered into a three-year $125 million credit
facility.  The credit facility includes a $120 million term loan and a $5
million revolving credit line.  The proceeds of the new term loan were used to
pay in full all amounts owed under the prior mortgage note and revolving credit
facility, to pay a portion of the payable to affiliate related to deferred
incentive management fees (discussed in Note 3 to the Partnership's consolidated
financial statements) and to pay loan fees.  Borrowings under the facility bear
interest at the London Interbank Offering Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.25% and are
secured by the Hotels.  Principal payments on the three-year term loan will
amount to $1.5 million, $2.4 million and $3.2 million for 1996, 1997 and 1998,
respectively, with a lump-sum payment of $112.9 million due at the end of the
term (March 31, 1999).

Borrowings under the current and prior  revolving credit line averaged $7.3
million during the six months ended June 30, 1996. At June 30, 1996, the
interest rate was 8% and the balance outstanding was $2 million on the revolving
credit line. For further discussion of the Partnership's credit facilities, see
Note 4 to the Partnership's consolidated financial statements. At August 9,
1996, $2 million was outstanding on the revolving credit line.

During the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Partnership made total capital
improvements amounting to approximately $7 million.  Major improvements included
guest room renovations and common area refurbishments at 5 hotels.  These
capital expenditures were reserved and funded from Hotel operations in the
amount of approximately $1.6 million pursuant to provisions of the Management
Agreement requiring 3% of gross revenues to be set aside for capital
improvements.   Capital expended above the reserved amounts has been funded
principally from advances made by Red Lion.

INCOME TAXES: IN ACCORDANCE WITH CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE OMNIBUS BUDGET
RECONCILIATION ACT OF 1987, THE PARTNERSHIP WILL BE TREATED AS A CORPORATION FOR
INCOME TAX PURPOSES BEGINNING JANUARY 1, 1998.  INCOME TAXES WILL NOT AFFECT
AMOUNTS AVAILABLE FOR PAYMENT OF INCENTIVE MANAGEMENT FEES TO RED LION UNDER THE
MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT DESCRIBED ABOVE.  DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTNERS AFTER THAT TIME
WILL BE CONSIDERED TAXABLE DIVIDENDS.  THE PAYMENT OF INCOME TAXES BY THE
PARTNERSHIP WILL DIRECTLY REDUCE THE DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTNERS.

On July 18, 1996, the General Partner declared a quarterly cash distribution of
$.55 per limited partner unit ($2.20 annualized) for the current quarter,
payable on August 15, 1996, to unitholders of record on July 31, 1996.  This
distribution has been accrued in the accompanying financial statements.

                                 **************

The statements contained in this report that are not statements of historical
fact may include forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and
uncertainties.  Moreover, from time to time the Partnership may issue other
forward-looking statements.  The following factors are among those that could
cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements:
national or local economic conditions affecting the supply and demand for hotel
space, competition in hotel operations, including additional or improved
services or facilities of competitors, price pressures and continuing
availability of capital to fund growth and improvements.  The forward-looking
statements should be considered in light of these factors.
