ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

DESCRIPTION OF THE PARTNERSHIP

Marriott Residence Inn Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), was formed on January 18, 1988 to acquire, own and operate 15
Marriott Residence Inn properties (the "Inns") and the land on which the Inns
are located.  The Inns are located in seven states and contain a total of 2,129
suites as of December 31, 1996.  The Partnership commenced operations on March
29, 1988.

On October 8, 1993, Marriott Corporation's operations were divided into two
separate companies:  Host Marriott Corporation ("Host Marriott") and Marriott
International, Inc. ("MII").  The sole general partner of the Partnership is
RIBM One Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "General Partner"), a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Host Marriott.

The Partnership is engaged solely in the business of owning and operating the
Inns and therefore is engaged in one industry segment.  The principal offices of
the Partnership are located at 10400 Fernwood Road, Bethesda, Maryland 20817.

The Inns are operated as part of the Residence Inn by Marriott system, which
includes over 238 Inns worldwide in the extended-stay segment of the U.S.
lodging industry.  The Inns are managed by Residence Inn by Marriott, Inc. (the
"Manager"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MII, under a long-term management
agreement (the "Management Agreement").  The Management Agreement expires in
2007 with renewals at the option of the Manager for one or more of the Inns for
up to five successive terms of 10 years thereafter.  See Item 13 "Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions."

The objective of the Residence Inn by Marriott system, including the Inns, is to
provide consistently superior lodging at a fair price with an appealing,
friendly and contemporary residential character.  Residence Inn by Marriott Inns
have fewer guest rooms than traditional full-service hotels, containing
approximately 120 guest suites, as compared to full-service Marriott hotels
which typically contain 350 or more guest rooms.

The Inns are extended-stay, limited service hotels which cater primarily to
business and family travelers who stay more than five consecutive nights.  The
Inns typically have 88 to 144 studio, one bedroom, two bedroom and two-story
penthouse suites.  They are generally located in suburban settings throughout
the United States and feature a series of residential style buildings with
landscaped walkways, courtyards and recreational areas.  See Item 2
"Properties."  Residence Inns do not have restaurants, but offer a complimentary
continental breakfast.  In addition, most of the Inns provide a complimentary
hospitality hour.  Each suite contains a fully-equipped kitchen and many suites
have woodburning fireplaces.

The Partnership's financing needs have been funded through loan agreements with
independent financial institutions and through loans and advances made by Host
Marriott and its affiliates.  See "Debt Financing."

                                       1

 
ORGANIZATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP

Between March 29, 1988 and April 22, 1988 (the "Closing Date"), 65,600 limited
partnership interests (the "Units") were sold in a public offering.  The
offering price per Unit was $1,000.  The General Partner contributed $662,627
for its 1% general partnership interest.  On the Closing Date, the Partnership
acquired the Inns and the land on which the Inns are located from MII for $178.8
million.  Of the total purchase price, $123 million was paid from the proceeds
of mortgage financing and the remainder from the sale of the Units.

DEBT FINANCING

As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership had outstanding bank mortgage
indebtedness of $123 million (the "Term Loan").  The Term Loan carried interest
at a fixed rate of 10.4% and required no principal amortization prior to
maturity.  The Partnership also had $6 million outstanding under a $10 million
revolving loan facility (the "Revolving Loan") which carried interest at a
floating rate equal to .5% over the one, two, three or six month London
Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") as elected by the Partnership and required no
principal amortization prior to maturity.  An additional $1.4 million was
outstanding on a note payable to Host Marriott, the proceeds from which were
used for the expansion of the St. Louis Galleria Inn.  The note payable to Host
Marriott carried interest at a fixed rate of 10.4% and required no principal
amortization prior to maturity.

The Term Loan, Revolving Loan and note payable to Host Marriott matured on April
24, 1995.  The Term Loan and Revolving Loan went into default on the maturity
date as the Partnership was unable to secure replacement financing.  Effective
April 25, 1995 through August 31, 1995, the lender granted a forbearance on the
Term Loan and the Revolving Loan in which both loans began to accrue interest at
10.4%.  However, effective September 1, 1995, pursuant to the loan documents,
both the Term Loan and Revolving Loan began to accrue interest at the Default
Rate, as defined, of prime plus 2.5 percentage points through October 11, 1995.
Host Marriott granted the Partnership a six-month forbearance of the note
payable upon maturity on April 24, 1995 at the original interest rate.

Host Marriott Corporation had also provided the Partnership a $15 million debt
service guarantee (the "Limited Guarantee") to the extent necessary for payment
of (i) interest on the Term Loan, (ii) interest on the Revolving Loan, and (iii)
the principal amount of the Term Loan and the Revolving Loan.  Host Marriott was
released from the Limited Guarantee on the date of the original debt maturity of
April 24, 1995.

REFINANCING

On October 12, 1995 the Partnership completed a refinancing of the Partnership's
debt through the proceeds of a $100 million senior mortgage (the "Senior
Mortgage") and a $30 million second mortgage (the "Second Mortgage").  The net
proceeds of the Senior and Second Mortgages and existing Partnership cash were
used as follows:  (i) to repay the Term Loan of $123 million, (ii) to repay the
Revolving Loan of approximately $6 million, (iii) to repay the $1.4 million note
payable to Host Marriott and (iv) to pay certain costs of structuring the debt.

                                       2

 
The Senior Mortgage of $100 million bears interest at 8.6%, requires monthly
amortization of principal on a 20 year schedule and matures on September 30,
2002.  The Second Mortgage of $30 million bears interest at 15.25%, requires
monthly amortization of principal on a 20 year schedule and matures on September
30, 2002.

In addition to the required monthly principal amortization, during each of the
four years from 1996 through 1999, the Partnership is required to pay, on a cash
available basis, an additional $2 million annually toward principal amortization
on the Senior Mortgage.  Additionally, during the entire seven year term, the
Partnership has the option to pay up to an additional $1 million principal
payment annually on the Second Mortgage and up to another $1 million optional
principal payment which would be applied in a 2:1 ratio to the Senior and Second
Mortgage, respectively.

The terms of the Senior and Second Mortgages include requirements of the
Partnership to maintain certain defined ratios of operating cash available after
debt service to total debt service.  In the event the Partnership fails to
maintain the required debt service ratios, all Inn operating cash flow, plus all
cash or other amounts to which the Partnership is entitled from any source, must
be paid directly to a cash collateral account until the ratios are restored to
their required levels.

Both the Senior and Second Mortgages are secured by the Inns, the land on which
they are located, a security interest in all personal property associated with
the Inns including furniture and equipment, inventory, contracts and other
general intangibles and an assignment of the Partnership's rights under the
Management Agreement, as defined below.

The weighted average interest rate on the Partnership's debt for the years ended
December 31, 1996 and 1995 was 10.13% and 10.14%, respectively.  In 1994, the
weighted average interest rate on the Revolving Loan was 4.8%.

MATERIAL CONTRACTS

Management Agreement

The primary provisions of the Management Agreement are discussed in Item 13,
"Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."

COMPETITION

The United States lodging industry generally is comprised of two broad segments:
full service hotels and limited service hotels.  Full service hotels generally
offer restaurant and lounge facilities and meeting spaces, as well as a wide
range of services, typically including bell service and room service.  Limited
service hotels generally offer accommodations with limited or no services and
amenities.  As extended-stay, the Inns compete effectively with both full
service and limited service hotels in their respective markets by providing
streamlined services and amenities exceeding those provided by typical limited
service hotels at prices that are significantly lower than those available at
full service hotels.

The lodging industry in general, and the extended-stay segment in particular, is
highly competitive, but the degree of competition varies from location to
location and over time.  The 

                                       3

 
Inns compete with several other major lodging brands. Competition in the
industry is based primarily on the level of service, quality of accommodations,
convenience of locations and room rates. The following are key participants in
the extended-stay segment of the lodging industry: Residence Inn, Homewood
Suites, Hawthorne Suites, Summerfield Suites and AmeriSuites.

CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

Because Host Marriott, the parent of the General Partner, MII and their
affiliates own and/or operate hotels other than the Partnership's Inns and MII
and its affiliates license others to operate hotels under the various brand
names owned by MII and its affiliates, potential conflicts of interest exist.
With respect to these potential conflicts of interest, Host Marriott, MII and
their affiliates retain a free right to compete with the Partnership's Inns,
including the right to develop, own, and operate competing hotels now and in the
future in markets in which the Inns are located, in addition to those existing
hotels which may currently compete directly or indirectly with the Inns.

Under Delaware law, the General Partner has unlimited liability for the
obligations of the Partnership, unless those obligations are, by contract,
without recourse to the partners of the Partnership.  Since the General Partner
is entitled to manage and control the business and operations of the
Partnership, and because certain actions taken by the General Partner or the
Partnership could expose the General Partner or its parent, Host Marriott, to
liability that is not shared by the limited partners (for example, tort
liability and environmental liability), this control could lead to conflicts of
interest.

Policies with Respect to Conflicts of Interest

It is the policy of the General Partner that the Partnership's relationship with
the General Partner, any affiliate of the General Partner, or persons employed
by the General Partner or its affiliates be conducted on terms that are fair to
the Partnership and that are commercially reasonable.  Agreements and
relationships involving the General Partner or its affiliates and the
Partnership are on terms consistent with the terms on which the General Partner
or its affiliates have dealt with unrelated parties.

The Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "Partnership
Agreement") provides that any agreements, contracts or arrangements between the
Partnership and the General Partner or any of its affiliates, except for
rendering legal, tax, accounting, financial, engineering, and procurement
services to the Partnership by employees of the General Partner or its
affiliates, will be on commercially reasonable terms and will be subject to the
following additional conditions:

(i)   the General Partner or any such affiliate must have the ability to render
      such services or to sell or lease such goods;

(ii)  such agreements, contracts or arrangements must be fair to the Partnership
      and reflect commercially reasonable terms and must be embodied in a
      written contract which precisely describes the subject matter thereof and
      all compensation to be paid therefor;

(iii) no rebates or give-ups may be received by the General Partner or any such
      affiliate, nor may the General Partner or any such affiliate participate
      in any reciprocal business arrangements 

                                       4

 
      which would have the effect of circumventing any of the provisions of the
      Partnership Agreement; and

(iv)  no such agreement, contract or arrangement as to which the limited
      partners had previously given approval may be amended in such a manner as
      to increase the fees or other compensation payable by the Partnership to
      the General Partner or any of its affiliates or to decrease the
      responsibilities or duties of the General Partner or any such affiliate in
      the absence of the consent of the holders of a majority in interest of the
      limited partners.

EMPLOYEES

Neither the General Partner nor the Partnership has any employees.  Host
Marriott provides the services of certain employees (including the General
Partner's executive officers) of Host Marriott to the Partnership and the
General Partner.  The Partnership and the General Partner anticipate that each
of the executive officers of the General Partner will generally devote a
sufficient portion of his or her time to the business of the Partnership.
However, each of such executive officers also will devote a significant portion
of his or her time to the business of Host Marriott and its other affiliates.
No officer or director of the General Partner or employee of Host Marriott
devotes a significant percentage of time to Partnership matters.  To the extent
that any officer, director or employee does devote time to the Partnership, the
General Partner or Host Marriott, as applicable, is entitled to reimbursement
for the cost of providing such services.  See Item 11 "Management Remuneration
and Transactions" for information regarding payments made to Host Marriott or
its subsidiaries for the cost of providing administrative services to the
Partnership.


CONSOLIDATION

The General Partner has undertaken, on behalf of the Partnership, to pursue,
subject to further approval of the partners, a potential transaction (the
"Consolidation") in which (i) subsidiaries of CRF Lodging Company, L.P. (the
"Company"), a newly formed Delaware limited partnership, would merge with and
into the Partnership and up to five other limited partnerships, with the
Partnership and the other limited partnerships being the surviving entities
(each, a "Merger" and collectively, the "Mergers"), subject to the satisfaction
or waiver of certain conditions, (ii) CRF Lodging Trust ("CRFLT"), a Maryland
real estate investment trust, the sole general partner of the Company, would
offer its common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.01 per share
("Common Shares") to investors in an underwritten public offering and would
invest the proceeds of such offering in the Company in exchange for units of
limited partnership interests in the Company ("Units") and (iii) the Partnership
would enter into a Lease for the operation of its Hotels pursuant to which a
Lessee would pay rent to the Partnership based upon the greater of a fixed
dollar amount of base rent or specified percentages of gross sales, as specified
in the Lease. If the partners approve the transaction and other conditions are
satisfied, the partners of the Partnership would receive Units in the Merger in
exchange for their interests in the Partnership.

A preliminary Prospectus/Consent Solicitation was filed as part of a
Registration Statement on Form S-4 with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and which describes the potential transaction in greater detail. Any offer of
Units in connection with the Consolidation will be made solely by a final
Prospectus/Consent Solicitation.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

INTRODUCTION

The properties consisted of 15 Residence Inn by Marriott hotels as of December
31, 1996.  The Inns, which range in age between nine and 12 years, are
geographically diversified among seven states:  four in Ohio, three in
California, three in Georgia, two in Missouri, and one in Illinois, Colorado and
Michigan.

The extended-stay segment of the lodging industry experienced increased
competition throughout 1996 as new extended-stay purpose-built competitors
entered the market.  This trend is expected to continue in 1997.  In response to
this increased competition, Residence Inn by Marriott's strategy is to
differentiate the brand on the basis of superior service offerings and delivery.
On a combined basis, competitive forces affecting the Inns are not, in the
opinion of the General Partner, more adverse than the overall competitive forces
affecting the lodging industry generally.  See Item 1 "Business--Competition."

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR THE PARTNERSHIP'S LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNITS AND RELATED
         SECURITY HOLDER MATTERS


There is currently no established public trading market for the Units and it is
not anticipated that a public market for the Units will develop.  Assignments of
Units are limited to the first date of each fiscal quarter and are subject to
approval by the General Partner.  As of December 31, 1996, there were 4,225
holders of record of the 65,600 Units.

In accordance with Sections 4.06 and 4.09 of the Partnership Agreement, cash
available for distribution for any year will be distributed quarterly to the
Partners of record at the end of each accounting period during such year as
follows:  (i) first, 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner,
until the partners have received, with respect to such year, an amount equal to
10% of their Invested Capital, defined as the excess of original capital
contributions over cumulative distributions of net refinancing and sales
proceeds ("Capital Receipts")--this amount is $6,626,263 at December 31, 1996;
(ii) second, remaining cash available for distribution will be distributed as
follows, depending on the amount of Capital Receipts previously distributed:

(a) 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner, if the partners
    have received aggregate cumulative distributions of Capital Receipts of less
    than 50% of their original capital contributions; or

(b) 85% to the limited partners and 15% to the General Partner, if the partners
    have received aggregate cumulative distributions of Capital Receipts equal
    to or greater than 50% but less than 100% of their original capital
    contributions; or

(c) 70% to the limited partners and 30% to the General Partner, if the partners
    have received aggregate cumulative distributions of Capital Receipts equal
    to 100% or more of their original capital contributions.

Cash available for distribution means, with respect to any fiscal period, the
cash revenues of the Partnership from all sources during the fiscal period,
other than Capital Receipts less (i) all cash expenditures of the Partnership
during such fiscal period, including, without limitation, debt service,
repayment of advances made by the General Partner, fees for management services
and administrative expenses (excluding expenditures incurred by the Partnership
in connection with a transaction resulting in Capital Receipts), and (ii) such
reserves as may be determined by the General Partner in its reasonable
discretion to be necessary to provide for the foreseeable cash needs of the
Partnership or for the maintenance, repair, or restoration of the Inns.

As of December 31, 1996, the Partnership has distributed a total of $38,700,104
($584 per limited 


                                       7

 
 
partner unit) since inception. In 1996, $4,969,697 ($75 per limited partner
unit) was distributed, of this amount, $1,656,566 was from 1996 operations ($25
per limited partner unit) and the remaining $3,313,131 was from 1995 operations
($50 per limited partner unit). An additional $1,656,566 ($25 per limited
partner unit) was distributed in February 1997 bringing the total distribution
from 1996 operations to $3,313,131 ($50 per limited partner unit). In 1995
$861,414 ($13 per limited partner unit) was distributed from 1994 operations. No
distributions of Capital Receipts have been made since inception.

                                       8


GENERAL

The following discussion and analysis addresses results of operations for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.  During the period from
1994 through 1996, Partnership revenues (Inn sales less direct Inn operating
costs and expenses) grew from $27.3 million to $32.1 million, while the
Partnership's total Inn sales grew from $53.4 million to $60.8 million.  Growth
in suite sales, and thus Inn sales, is primarily a function of combined average
occupancy and combined average suite rates.  During the period from 1994 through
1996, the Inns' combined average suite rate increased by $12.49 from $75.53 to
$88.02, while the combined average occupancy decreased three percentage points
from approximately 87% to approximately 84%.

The Partnership's operating costs and expenses are, to a great extent, fixed.
Therefore, the Partnership derives substantial operating leverage from increases
in revenue.  This operating leverage is offset in part by variable expenses,
including base management and Residence Inn system fees under the Management
Agreement, which are 2% of gross sales, and 4% of suite sales, respectively.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1996 COMPARED TO 1995:

Revenues.  Revenues increased by $2.0 million in 1996, to $32.1 million, a 7%
increase when compared to 1995.  This increase in revenues was achieved
primarily through an increase in Inn revenue per available room ("REVPAR"),
which represents the combination of the combined average daily room rate charged
and the combined average occupancy achieved, and is a commonly used indicator of
hotel performance.  REVPAR grew nearly 6% in 1996 as a result of an increase in
average suite rates, as discussed below.

Inn sales.  Total 1996 Inn sales of $60.8 million represented a $4.1 million, or
7%, increase over 1995 results.  This increase was achieved primarily through
increases in the combined average suite rate from $81.14 in 1995 to $88.02 in
1996.  As a result, 1996 suite sales increased by $4.1 million, or 8%, to $58.0
million from $53.9 million in 1995, despite a two percentage point decrease in
occupancy to 83.5% during 1996.  Eleven of the Partnership's 15 Inns posted
occupancy rates exceeding 80% for 1996.

Operating Costs and Expenses.  Operating costs and expenses increased to $15.9
million in 1996 from $15.7 million in 1995.  As a percentage of Inn revenues,
operating costs and expenses represented 50% of revenues for 1996 and 52% in
1995.

Operating Profit.  As a result of the changes in revenues and operating costs
and expenses discussed above, operating profit increased $1.8 million to $16.2
million, or 50% of total revenues, in 1996 from $14.4 million, or 48% of
revenues in 1995.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense remained unchanged at $13.4 million.

Net Income.  Net income increased $1.6 million to $3.1 million, or 10% of
revenues, in 1996 

                                       9

 
from $1.5 million, or 5% of total revenues, in 1995 due primarily to improved
lodging results.

1995 COMPARED TO 1994:

Revenues.  Revenues (Inn sales less direct Inn operating costs and expenses)
increased $2.8 million in 1995 to $30.1 million, a 10% increase, when compared
to 1994.  This increase in revenues was achieved primarily through a 6% increase
in REVPAR, that was primarily the result of an increase in the average suite
rate, as discussed below.

Inn sales.  Total 1995 Inn sales of $56.7 million represented a $3.3 million, or
6%, increase over 1994 results.  This increase was achieved primarily through
increases in the combined average suite rate from $75.53 in 1994 to $81.14 in
1995.  As a result, 1995 suite sales increased by $3.1 million, or 6%, to $53.9
million from $50.8 million in 1994, despite a one percentage point decrease in
occupancy from approximately 87% to 86%, during these periods.  All of the
Partnership's Inns posted occupancy rates exceeding 80% for 1995.

Operating Costs and Expenses.  Operating costs and expenses increased to $15.7
million, or 52% of revenues, in 1995 from $15.6 million, or 57% of revenues, in
1994.

Operating Profit.  Operating profit increased $2.7 million to $14.4 million, or
48% of revenues, in 1995 from $11.7 million, or 43% of revenues, in 1994 due to
the changes in revenues and operating costs discussed above.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense decreased to $13.4 million for 1995 from
$13.5 million in 1994.

Net Income.  Net income increased $3.1 million to $1.5 million, or 5% of
revenues, in 1995, from a net loss of $1.6 million in 1994 due to the items
discussed above.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

GENERAL

The General Partner believes that cash from Inn operations and Partnership
reserves will provide adequate funds in the short term and long term for the
operational and capital needs of the Partnership.

PRINCIPAL SOURCES AND USES OF CASH

The Partnership's principal source of cash is cash from operations.  Its
principal uses of cash are to make debt service payments, fund the property
improvement fund, and to make distributions to the limited partners.

Cash provided from operations was $10.8 million, $9.4 million and $8.0 million
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The $1.4
million increase in cash from operations in 1996 was primarily due to the $2.0
million increase in Inn revenues during this time period, partially offset by
the $244,000 increase in base management and Residence Inn system 

                                       10

 
 
fees which increased as a result of improved sales. Cash from operations
increased $1.4 million in 1995 primarily because of the $2.8 million increase in
Inn revenues during this time period. This increase in revenues was offset by
the additional $1.2 million in interest payments made in 1995 compared to 1994.
Interest payments increased because of the 1995 refinancing of the Partnership's
debt, which required the Partnership to make monthly payments of principal and
interest on the new debt, as opposed to quarterly payments of interest on the
old debt. See "Refinancing" below. The Partnership paid $13.0 million, $14.4
million and $13.2 million in interest in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Cash used in investing activities was $3.2 million, $3.0 million and $2.8
million, respectively, in 1996, 1995 and 1994.  The Partnership's cash investing
activities consist primarily of contributions to the property improvement fund
and capital expenditures for improvements to existing Inns.  Contributions to
the property improvement fund were $3.0 million, $2.8 million and $2.7 million
for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994, while capital expenditures
were $3.6 million, $3.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, during these
same time periods.

Cash used in financing activities was $11.5 million, $4.5 million and $3.3
million, respectively, in 1996, 1995 and 1994.  The Partnership's cash financing
activities consist primarily of repayments of debt, capital distributions to
partners, payment of debt financing costs and debt refinancing.  In October
1995, the Partnership refinanced debt of $130.4 million with the proceeds from a
$100 million senior mortgage loan ("Senior Mortgage") and a $30 million second
mortgage loan ("Second Mortgage").  The partnership paid $207,000 and $3.1
million in 1996 and 1995, respectively, for refinancing costs associated with
this transaction.  See "Refinancing" below.  During 1996 and 1995, respectively,
the Partnership repaid $6.3 million and $177,000 of principal on the Senior and
Second Mortgages.  No principal payments were made on the Partnership's debt in
1994.  Capital distributions to the partners were $5.0 million, $861,000 and
$3.3 million, respectively, in 1996, 1995 and 1994.  Of the $5.0 million
distributed in 1996, $1.7 million was from 1996 operations and $3.3 million was
from 1995 operations.  The $861,000 distributed in 1995 was from 1994
operations.  Of the $3.3 million distributed in 1994, $2.4 million was from 1994
operations and $861,000 was from 1993 operations.

REFINANCING

As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership's debt consisted of a $123 million
nonrecourse mortgage loan (the "Term Loan"), $6 million borrowed under a $10
million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Loan") and a $1.4 million note
payable to Host Marriott for an expansion at the St. Louis Galleria Inn.  Both
the Term Loan and the note payable to Host Marriott carried interest at a fixed
rate of 10.4% and required no principal amortization prior to maturity.  The
Revolving Loan was available to provide interest payments on up to $19 million
of the principal amount of the Term Loan.  Borrowings carried interest at a
floating rate equal to .5% over the one, two, three or six-month London
Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") as elected by the Partnership and required no
principal amortization prior to maturity.

The Term Loan, Revolving Loan and note payable to Host Marriott matured on April
24, 1995.  The Term Loan and Revolving Loan went into default on the maturity
date as the Partnership was unable to secure replacement financing.  Effective
April 25, 1995 through August 31, 1995, the 

                                       11


 
lender granted a forbearance on the Term loan and the Revolving Loan in which
both loans began to accrue interest at 10.4%. However, effective September 1,
1995, pursuant to the loan documents, both the Term Loan and Revolving Loan
began to accrue interest at the Default Rate, as defined, of prime plus 2.5
percentage points through October 11, 1995. Host Marriott granted the
Partnership a six-month forbearance of the note payable upon maturity on April
24, 1995 at the original interest rate.

The Partnership's debt was refinanced on October 12, 1995 at which time the Term
Loan, Revolving Loan and note payable to Host Marriott were fully repaid with
the proceeds from a $130 million nonrecourse mortgage loan (the "Mortgage
Debt").  The Mortgage Debt is comprised of a $100 million note (the "Senior
Mortgage") which bears interest at 8.6% and a $30 million note (the "Second
Mortgage") which bears interest at 15.25% for an initial blended interest rate
of 10.13%.  Both the Senior Mortgage and Second Mortgage require monthly
amortization of principal and mature on September 30, 2002.  In addition to the
required monthly amortization, during each of the four years from 1996 through
1999, the Partnership is required to pay, on a cash available basis, an
additional $2 million annually toward principal amortization on the Senior
Mortgage.  Additionally, during the entire seven year term, the Partnership has
the option to pay up to an additional $1 million principal payment annually on
the Second Mortgage and up to another $1 million optional principal payment
which would be applied in a 2:1 ratio to the Senior and Second Mortgage,
respectively.

Host Marriott was released from its $15 million debt service guarantee
obligation on the date of the original debt maturity of April 24, 1995.  No
amounts were advanced under this obligation.

Both the Senior Mortgage and the Second Mortgage are secured by the Inns, the
land on which they are located, a security interest in all personal property
associated with the Inns including furniture and equipment, inventory, contracts
and other general intangibles and an assignment of the Partnership's rights
under the management agreement.

Operating profit from the Inns in excess of debt service on the Senior and
Second Mortgages is distributed as follows, in order of priority: (i) to pay the
Partnership its annual 10% priority return of $6.6 million, (ii) to the Manager
in payment of deferred base management fees, (iii) 50% of the remaining
operating profit is paid to the Manager for incentive management fees and 50% is
retained by the Partnership until the amount retained by each party, separately,
equals 5% of the Partnership's invested capital, and (iv) once the Partnership
has retained the additional 5% return, 75% of any remaining operating profit is
paid to the Manager for incentive management fees and 25% is retained by the
Partnership.

PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT FUND

The Management Agreement requires annual contributions to a property improvement
fund to ensure that the physical condition and product quality of the Inns are
maintained.  Contributions to this fund are based on a percentage of annual
total Inn sales, currently equal to 5%.  Based upon current capital expenditure
forecasts for the Partnership's Inns, it is expected that there will be a
shortfall in the Partnership property improvement fund beginning in 1998 for the
years 1998 through 2002.  This shortfall is primarily due to the need to
complete total suite refurbishments at the majority of the Partnership's Inns in
the next several years.  The Partnership has not yet 

                                       12


 
received final notification from the Manager defining the extent of the
shortfall, as the manager is still in the process of finalizing the 1998 capital
expenditure budgets. However, estimates range from $1.4 million to $3.5 million.
The Partnership will work with the Manager to develop a strategic plan to
provide for the future capital needs of the Inns by better utilization of the
property improvement fund and, potentially, funds provided from operating cash.
As a result of this expected future shortfall, the General Partner established a
reserve in 1996 for the future capital needs of the Partnership's Inns. It is
expected that 1997 distributions will be net of an additional reserve as well.
The balance in the fund totaled $2.8 million as of December 31, 1996. Total
capital expenditures for 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $3.6 million, $3.1 million and
$1.4 million, respectively.

DEFERRED MANAGEMENT FEES

The Manager earns a base management fee equal to 2% of the Inns' gross sales.
Through 1990, payment of the base management fee was subordinate to qualifying
debt service payments and retention by the Partnership of annual cash flow from
operations of $6,626,263.  Deferred base management fees are payable from
operating cash flow, but only after the payment of (i) debt service, (ii) a
priority return to the Partnership and (iii) certain other priorities as defined
in the Management Agreement.  Beginning in 1991 and thereafter, base management
fees are paid currently.  Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement, the
Partnership paid deferred base management fees of $515,000 and $491,000 for
fiscal years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  No deferred base
management fees were paid for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.  Deferred
base management fees do not accrue interest.

As of December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, cumulative deferred base
management fees totaled $1.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively.

In addition, the Manager is entitled to an incentive management fee equal to 15%
of operating profit, as defined in the Management Agreement (20% in any year in
which operating profit is equal to or greater than $23.5 million).  The
incentive management fee is payable out of 50% of cash flow from operations
remaining after payments of qualifying debt service, retention by the
Partnership of annual cash flow from operations of $6,626,263 and the deferred
base management fee.  Of this amount, the Partnership retains an additional 50%
of the excess cash flow, up to 5% of its invested capital.  Thereafter, the
incentive management fee is payable out of 75% of the remaining cash flow from
operations.  Through 1989, the Manager was not entitled to accrue any unpaid
incentive management fees.  Incentive management fees earned after 1989 are
payable in the future from operating cash flow, as defined.  Unpaid incentive
management fees are paid from cash flow available for incentive management fees
following payment of the then current incentive management fees.

For the years ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1996, respectively, $3.1
million and $3.4 million in incentive management fees were earned.  Through
December 31, 1996 no incentive management fees have been paid to the Manager and
none are expected to be paid during 1997.  As of December 31, 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively, deferred incentive management fees were $19.3 million, $16.0
million and $12.8 million.

There are two priority returns to the Partnership defined as 10% and 5% of
invested capital, or 

                                       13


 
the "First" and "Second" Priority, respectively. Operating profit from the Inns
(which reflects the deduction of the base management and Residence Inn system
fees) will be used to pay the following, in order of priority: (i) debt service
on the Senior and Second Mortgages, (ii) the First Priority return to the
Partnership, (iii) the balance of deferred base management fees, (iv) 50% of the
excess is paid to the Partnership and 50% to the Manager for incentive
management fees, until each party, separately, has retained an amount equal to
the Second Priority, and (v) of any remaining operating profit, 75% is paid to
the Manager for incentive management fees and 25% is paid to the Partnership.

COMPETITION

The extended-stay lodging segment continues to be highly competitive.  An
increase in supply growth began in 1996 with the introduction of a number of new
national brands.  For 1997, the outlook continues to be positive.  Residence
Inns continue to command a premium share of the market in which they are located
in spite of the growth of new chains.  It is expected that Residence Inn will
continue outperforming both national and local competitors.  The brand is
continuing to carefully monitor the introduction of new extended-stay brands and
growth of existing brands including Homewood Suites, Hawthorne Suites,
Summerfield Suites and AmeriSuites.

INFLATION

The rate of inflation has been relatively low in the past four years.  The
Manager is generally able to pass through increased costs to customers through
higher room rates and prices.  In 1996, the increase in average suite rates of
Residence Inns exceeded inflationary costs.

SEASONALITY

Demand, and thus room occupancy, is affected by normally recurring seasonal
patterns.  For most of the Inns, demand is higher in the spring and summer
months (March through October) than during the remainder of the year.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TO THE PARTNERS OF MARRIOTT RESIDENCE INN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Marriott Residence Inn Limited
Partnership (a Delaware limited partnership) as of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
and the related statements of operations, changes in partners' capital and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1996.  These
financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the General
Partner's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform an 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Marriott Residence Inn Limited
Partnership as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations
and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The schedule listed in the index at Item
14(a)(2) is presented for the purpose of complying with the Securities and
Exchange Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements.
This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all
material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                                                             ARTHUR ANDERSEN LLP

Notes to Financial Statements




MARRIOTT RESIDENCE INN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
DECEMBER 31, 1996 AND 1995
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1.  THE PARTNERSHIP

Description of the Partnership

Marriott Residence Inn Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), a Delaware
limited partnership, was formed March 29, 1988 to acquire, own and operate 15
Residence Inn by Marriott hotels (the "Inns") and the land on which the Inns are
located.  The Inns are located in seven states in the United States:  four in
Ohio, three in California, three in Georgia, two in Missouri and one in
Illinois, Colorado and Michigan, and as of December 31, 1996, have a total of
2,129 suites.

On December 29, 1995, Host Marriott Corporation's operations were divided into
two separate companies:  Host Marriott Corporation ("Host Marriott") and Host
Marriott Services Corporation.  The sole general partner of the Partnership,
with a 1% interest, is RIBM One Corporation (the "General Partner"), a Delaware
corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Host Marriott.

Between March 29, 1988 and April 22, 1988 (the "Closing Date"), 65,600 limited
partnership interests (the "Units") were sold in a public offering.  The
offering price per Unit was $1,000.  The General Partner contributed $662,627
for its 1% general partnership interest.  The Inns are managed by Residence Inn
by Marriott, Inc. (the "Manager"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Marriott
International, Inc. ("MII"), as part of the Residence Inn by Marriott hotel
system.

Partnership Allocations and Distributions

Net profits for Federal income tax purposes are generally allocated to the
partners in proportion to the distributions of cash available for distribution.
The Partnership generally distributes cash available for distribution as
follows:  (i) first, 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner,
until the partners have received, with respect to such year, an amount equal to
10% of their Net Capital Investment, defined as the excess of original capital
contributions over cumulative distributions of net refinancing and sales
proceeds ("Capital Receipts"); (ii) second, remaining cash available for
distribution will be distributed as follows, depending on the amount of Capital
Receipts previously distributed:

(a) 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner, if the partners
    have received aggregate cumulative distributions of Capital Receipts of less
    than 50% of their original capital contributions; or

(b) 85% to the limited partners and 15% to the General Partner, if the partners
    have received aggregate cumulative distributions of Capital Receipts equal
    to or greater than 50% but less than 100% of their original capital
    contributions; or

(c) 70% to the limited partners and 30% to the General Partner, if the partners
    have received aggregate cumulative distributions of Capital Receipts equal
    to 100% or more of their original capital contributions.

Losses and net losses are allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the
General Partner.

                                       21

 
Capital Receipts not retained by the Partnership will generally be distributed
(i) first, 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner until the
partners have received cumulative distributions from all sources equal to a
cumulative simple return of 12% per annum on their Net Capital Investment and an
amount equal to their contributed capital, payable only from Capital Receipts;
(ii) next, if the Capital Receipts are from a sale, 100% to the General Partner
until it has received 2% of the gross proceeds from the sale and; (iii)
thereafter, 70% to the limited partners and 30% to the General Partner.

Gains will generally be allocated (i) first, to those partners whose capital
accounts have negative balances until such negative balances are brought to
zero; (ii) second, to all partners in amounts necessary to bring each of their
respective capital account balances equal to their invested capital, as defined,
plus a 12% return on such invested capital; (iii) next, to the General Partner
in an amount necessary to bring the General Partner's capital account balance to
an amount which is equal to 2% of the gross proceeds from the sale; and (iv)
thereafter, 70% to the limited partners and 30% to the General Partner.

Proceeds from the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Partnership
will be distributed to the partners in accordance with their capital account
balances as adjusted to take into account the gain or loss resulting from such
sale.

For financial reporting purposes, profits and losses are allocated among the
partners based upon their stated interests in cash available for distribution.


NOTE 2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Accounting

The Partnership's records are maintained on the accrual basis of accounting and
its fiscal year coincides with the calendar year.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenues and Expenses

Revenues represent house profit of the Inns because the Partnership has
delegated substantially all of the operating decisions related to the generation
of house profit of the Inns to the Manager.  House profit reflects Inn operating
results which flow to the Partnership as property owner and represents gross Inn
sales less property-level expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization,
base, Residence Inn system and incentive management fees, property taxes,
equipment rent and other costs, which are disclosed separately in the statement
of operations.

                                       22

 
Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation is computed using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

              Land improvements           40 years
              Buildings and improvements  40 years
              Furniture and equipment     3 to 10 years

All property and equipment is pledged as security for the mortgage debt
described in Note 6.

The Partnership assesses impairment of its real estate properties based on
whether estimated undiscounted future cash flows from such properties on an
individual hotel basis will be less than their net book value.  If a property is
impaired, its basis is adjusted to fair market value.

Income Taxes

Provision for Federal and state income taxes has not been made in the financial
statements since the Partnership does not pay income taxes but rather allocates
its profits and losses to the partners.  Significant differences exist between
the net income or loss for financial reporting purposes and the net income or
loss reported in the Partnership's tax return.  These differences are due
primarily to the use, for income tax purposes, of accelerated depreciation
methods and shorter depreciable lives of the assets and differences in the
timing of the recognition of base and incentive management fee expenses.  As a
result of these differences, the net excess between the Partnership's net assets
reported in the accompanying financial statements and the tax basis of such net
assets at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $15,689,000 and $12,611,000,
respectively.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs represent the costs incurred in connection with
obtaining the debt financing and are amortized over the term thereof.  The
original mortgage debt described in Note 6 matured on April 24, 1995.  Deferred
financing costs associated with the original mortgage debt totaling $2,017,000
were fully amortized at maturity and removed from the Partnership's books.
Costs incurred in connection with the mortgage debt refinancing totaled
$3,303,000 and will be amortized using the straight-line method, which
approximates the effective interest method, over the seven year term of the
loan.  At December 31, 1996 and 1995, accumulated amortization of deferred
financing costs totaled $575,000 and $102,000, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less at date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

New Statements of Financial Accounting Standards

In the first quarter of 1996, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-
Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."  Adoption of SFAS No.
121 did not have an effect on its financial statements.

                                       23

 
Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications were made to prior year financial statements to
conform to the 1996 presentation.

NOTE 6.  MORTGAGE DEBT

As of December 31, 1994, the Partnership's debt consisted of a $123,000,000
nonrecourse mortgage loan (the "Term Loan"), $5,967,000 borrowed under a $10
million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Loan") and a $1,395,000 note
payable to Host Marriott for an expansion at the St. Louis Galleria Inn.  Both
the Term Loan and the note payable to Host Marriott carried interest at a fixed
rate of 10.4% and required no principal amortization prior to maturity.  The
Revolving Loan was available to provide interest payments on up to $19 million
of the principal amount of the Term Loan.  Borrowings carried interest at a
floating rate equal to .5% over the one, two, three or six-month London
Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") as elected by the Partnership and required no
principal amortization prior to maturity.  The Partnership did not borrow under
the Revolving Loan in 1995.

The Term Loan, Revolving Loan and note payable matured on April 24, 1995.  The
Term Loan and Revolving Loan went into default on the maturity date as the
Partnership was unable to secure replacement financing.  Effective April 25,
1995 through August 31, 1995, the lender granted a forbearance on the Term loan
and the Revolving Loan in which both loans began to accrue interest at 10.4%.
However, effective September 1, 1995, pursuant to the loan documents, both the
Term Loan and Revolving Loan began to accrue interest at the Default Rate, as
defined, of prime plus 2.5 percentage points through October 11, 1995.  Host
Marriott granted the Partnership a six-month forbearance of the note payable
upon maturity on April 24, 1995 at the original interest rate.  During the
forbearance period, the Partnership was required to make monthly debt service
payments of interest only on the Term Loan and Revolving Loan and quarterly
payments of interest only on the note payable.

                                       25

 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Partnership's debt was refinanced on October 12, 1995 at which time the Term
Loan, Revolving Loan and note payable to Host Marriott were fully repaid with
the proceeds from a $130 million nonrecourse mortgage loan (the "Mortgage
Debt").  The Mortgage Debt is comprised of a $100 million note (the "Senior
Mortgage") which bears interest at 8.6% and a $30 million note (the "Second
Mortgage") which bears interest at 15.25% for a blended interest rate of 10.13%.
Both the Senior Mortgage and Second Mortgage require monthly amortization of
principal and mature on September 30, 2002.  In addition to the required monthly
amortization, during each of the four years from 1996 through 1999, the
Partnership is required to pay, on a cash available basis, an additional $2
million annually toward principal amortization on the Senior Mortgage.
Additionally, during the entire seven year term, the Partnership has the option
to pay up to an additional $1 million principal payment annually on the Second
Mortgage and up to another $1 million optional principal payment which would be
applied in a 2:1 ratio to the Senior and Second Mortgage, respectively.  The
weighted-average interest rate for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995
was 10.13% and 10.14%, respectively.  In 1994, the weighted-average interest
rate on the Revolving Loan was 4.8%.  During 1996, the Partnership made payments
of $4,719,000 and $1,585,000 on the Senior Mortgage and Second Mortgage,
respectively.  At December 31, 1996, the outstanding principal balance of the
Senior Mortgage and the Second Mortgage was $95,124,000 and $28,395,000,
respectively.

Host Marriott was released from its $15 million debt service guarantee
obligation on the date of the original debt maturity of April 24, 1995.  No
amounts were advanced under this obligation.

Both the Senior Mortgage and the Second Mortgage are secured by the Inns, the
land on which they are located, a security interest in all personal property
associated with the Inns including furniture and equipment, inventory, contracts
and other general intangibles and an assignment of the Partnership's rights
under the management agreement.

Principal amortization of the Senior and Second Mortgages at December 31, 1996
is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 7.  MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

The Manager operates the Inns pursuant to a long-term management agreement with
an initial term expiring December 28, 2007.  The Manager has the option to
extend the agreement on one or more of the Inns for up to five 10-year terms.
The Manager earns a base management fee equal to 2% of gross sales.  Through
1990, payment of the base management fee was subordinated to qualifying debt
service payments and retention by the Partnership of annual cash flow from
operations of $6,626,263.  Deferred base management fees are payable from
operating cash flow, as defined.  Beginning in 1991 and thereafter, base
management fees are paid currently.  Pursuant to the terms of the management
agreement, the Partnership paid deferred base management fees of $515,000 and
$491,000 for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

                                       26

 
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the Manager is entitled to an incentive management fee equal to 15%
of operating profit, as defined (20% in any year in which operating profit is
equal to or greater than $23.5 million).  The incentive management fee is
payable out of 50% of cash flow from operations remaining after payments of
qualifying debt service, retention by the Partnership of annual cash flow from
operations of $6,626,263 and the deferred base management fee.  After the
Partnership has retained an additional 5% return, the incentive management fee
is payable out of 75% of the remaining cash flow from operations.  Through 1989,
the Manager was not entitled to accrue any unpaid incentive management fees.
Incentive management fees earned after 1989 are payable in the future from
operating cash flow, as defined.  Unpaid incentive management fees are paid from
cash flow available for incentive management fees following payment of the then
current incentive management fees.  Through December 31, 1996, no incentive
management fees have been paid to the Manager and none are expected to be paid
during 1997.

The management agreement also provides for a Residence Inn system fee equal to
4% of suite sales.  In addition, the Manager is reimbursed for each Inn's pro
rata share of the actual costs and expenses incurred by the Manager in providing
certain services ("Chain Services") on a central or regional basis to all hotels
operated by the Manager.  As franchisor of the Residence Inn by Marriott system,
the Manager maintains a marketing fund to pay the costs associated with certain
system-wide advertising, promotional, and public relations materials and
programs, and operating a toll-free reservation system.  Each Inn contributes
2.5% of suite sales to the marketing fund.  For the years ended December 31,
1996, 1995 and 1994, the Partnership paid a Residence Inn system fee of
$2,321,000, $2,158,000 and $2,032,000, reimbursed the Manager for $1,031,000,
$988,000 and $982,000 of Chain Services and contributed $1,450,000, $1,349,000
and $1,270,000 to the marketing fund, respectively.  Chain Services and
contributions to the marketing fund are included in other Inn operating expenses
in Note 3.

The Partnership is required to provide the Manager with working capital to meet
the operating needs of the Inns.  The Manager converts cash advanced by the
Partnership into other forms of working capital consisting primarily of
operating cash, inventories, and trade receivables and payables which are
maintained and controlled by the Manager.  Upon termination of the management
agreement, the working capital will be returned to the Partnership.  The
individual components of working capital controlled by the Manager are not
reflected in the Partnership's balance sheet.  As of December 31, 1996 and 1995,
$775,000 has been advanced to the Manager for working capital.

The management agreement provides for the establishment of a property
improvement fund for the Inns which provides for the replacement of furniture,
fixtures and equipment.  Contributions to the property improvement fund are
equal to 5% of gross revenues of each Inn.  Contributions to the property
improvement fund as of December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $3,041,000,
$2,836,000 and $2,672,000, respectively.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Management Agreement

Term


                                       29

 
The Management Agreement has an initial term expiring on December 28, 2007. The
Manager may renew the term, as to one or more of the Inns, at its option, for up
to five successive terms of 10 years each. The Partnership may terminate the
Management Agreement if, during any three consecutive years after 1992,
specified minimum operating results are not achieved. However, the Manager may
prevent termination by paying to the Partnership the amount by which the minimum
operating results were not achieved.

Management Fees

The Management Agreement provides for annual payments of (i) the base management
fee equal to 2% of gross sales from the Inns, (ii) the Residence Inn system fee
equal to 4% of gross suite sales from the Inns, and (iii) the incentive
management fee equal to 15% of operating profit, as defined (20% in any year in
which operating profit is equal to or greater than $23.5 million).  During 1996,
1995 and 1994, respectively, the Partnership paid a Residence Inn system fee of
$2,321,000, $2,158,000 and $2,032,000.  See "Deferral Provisions" for a
discussion of the payment of base and incentive management fees.

Deferral Provisions

Through 1990, payment of the base management fee was subordinated to qualifying
debt service payments and retention by the Partnership of annual cash flow from
operations of $6,626,263.  Deferred base management fees are payable from
operating cash flow, as defined, but only after payment of debt service and the
Partnership's 10% priority return.  Beginning in 1991 and thereafter, base
management fees are paid currently.  For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994, respectively, the Partnership paid current base management fees of
$1,216,000, $1,135,000 and $1,069,000.  During 1996 and 1995, $515,000 and
$491,000, respectively, of deferred base management fees were repaid.  Deferred
base management fees as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 were $1.5 million and $2.0
million, respectively.

The incentive management fee is payable out of 50% of cash flow from operations
remaining after payments of qualifying debt service, retention by the
Partnership of annual cash flow from operations of $6,626,263 and the deferred
base management fee.  After the cash flow retained by the Partnership reaches 5%
of invested capital plus any owner funded capital improvements, the incentive
management fee is payable out of 75% of the remaining cash flow from operations.
Through 1989, the Manager was not entitled to accrue any unpaid incentive
management fees.  Incentive management fees earned after 1989 are payable in the
future from operating cash flow, as defined.  Unpaid incentive management fees
are paid from cash flow available for incentive management fees following
payment of the then current incentive management fees.  Through December 31,
1996, no incentive management fees have been paid to the Manager and none are
expected to be paid during 1997.  During 1996 and 1995, $3.4 million and $3.1
million, respectively, of incentive management fees were deferred.  Deferred
incentive management fees were approximately $19.3 million and $16.0 million as
of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Chain Services and Marketing Fund

The Manager is reimbursed for each Inn's pro rata share of the actual costs and
expenses incurred by the Manager in providing certain services ("Chain
Services") on a central or regional basis to all hotels operated by the Manager.
As franchisor of the Residence Inn by Marriott system, the Manager maintains 

                                       30

 
a marketing fund to pay the costs associated with certain system-wide
advertising, promotional, and public relations materials and programs, and
operating a toll-free reservation system. Each Inn contributes 2.5% of gross
suite sales to the marketing fund. For the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995
and 1994, the Partnership reimbursed the Manager for $1,031,000, $988,000 and
$982,000 of Chain Services and contributed $1,450,000, $1,349,000 and $1,270,000
to the marketing fund, respectively.

Working Capital

The Partnership is required to provide the Manager with working capital to meet
the operating needs of the Inns.  The Manager converts cash advanced by the
Partnership into other forms of working capital consisting primarily of
inventories, trade receivables and payables which are maintained and controlled
by the Manager.  Upon termination of the management agreement, the working
capital will be returned to the Partnership.  The individual components of
working capital controlled by the Manager are not reflected in the Partnership's
balance sheet.  As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, $775,000 has been advanced to
the Manager for working capital.

Property Improvement Funds

The Management Agreement provides for the establishment of a property
improvement fund for the Inns which provides for the replacement of furniture,
fixtures and equipment.  Contributions to the property improvement fund are
equal to 5% of gross sales of each Inn.  Contributions to the property
improvement fund as of December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 were $3,041,000,
