Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

         On June 8, 2004, Fairfield Inn by Marriott Limited Partnership (the
"Partnership") sold its properties located in Auburn Hills, Michigan, Canton,
Michigan, Kalamazoo, Michigan, Madison Heights, Michigan and Warren, Michigan to
an unaffiliated third party for a gross sales price of $15,200,000. In addition,
on June 10, 2004, the Partnership sold its property located in Greenville, South
Carolina to an unaffiliated third party for a gross sales price of $1,750,000.

         As previously reported, due to a default by the Partnership on its loan
obligations as well as defaults under its franchise agreements and ground
leases, the Partnership is in liquidation and is seeking to sell its remaining
properties. In accordance with the agreement reached with the Partnership's
lender and Marriott International, Inc. (the lessor under the ground lease), the
Partnership is permitted to retain a fee of $65,217 from the sale of each
property with the balance being used to make payments on the outstanding
obligations due the lender.

         After giving effect to these sales, the Partnership continues to hold
an interest in 33 hotel properties. In addition, the Partnership has entered
into contracts to sell an additional 11 hotel properties.
