                  NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 (UNAUDITED)
1.     Basis of Accounting

       The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements have been
       prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
       interim financial information, with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
       Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  In the opinion of the General Partner,
       all adjustments necessary for fair presentation of the results of
       operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, have been
       made to the financial information furnished herein.  For further
       information refer to the combined financial statements and footnotes
       thereto included in the Partnerships' annual report on Form 10-K for the
       year ended December 31, 1996.

       On May 10, 1996, the Operating Partnership and affiliated
       sub-partnerships filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the federal
       bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
       District of Illinois.  This filing excludes Partnership I and
       Partnership II.  Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the deeds to
       the remaining hotels were transferred to the senior lender on September
       26, 1996 in consideration for the cancellation of the senior
       indebtedness (the "Transfer").

       As a result of the Transfer, the Partnerships no longer have a source of
       funds.  A cash reserve is being maintained for payment of the
       Partnerships' obligations and contingencies.

2.     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       Under the terms of the various Partnership Agreements, the Managing
       General Partner and its affiliates are to provide management, financing
       and other services to Portfolio I, Portfolio II and the Operating
       Partnership in return for certain fees as follows:



                                      
                
                                  Fees paid and payable for the six months ended
                                                 June 30, 1997
                                                                        
                                                        
                                                Paid            Payable

          Managing General Partner
                Salary (1)                  $  50,000         $     ---
          Other services and costs (2)         30,470             2,528 
                                            ---------         ---------

                                            =========         =========


          (1) The Partnership Agreements specify the dollar amount of
              this fee.  The various Partnerships are obligated to incur 
              in the aggregate, $50,000 per year of salary fees in the future.

2.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

         (2)  These fees represent reimbursement for partnership
              accounting, printing, legal department, data processing and
              travel and communication expenses incurred by affiliates for the
              Managing General Partner for operation of the Partnerships.

3.   LITIGATION

     Certain affiliates of the Partnerships, including the Managing General     
     Partner and certain officers and directors of such affiliates are parties
     to certain pending legal proceedings as described in Form 10-K for the
     year ended December 31, 1996 filed as of March 31, 1997 and certain other
     proceedings.  The adverse outcome of any one or more legal proceedings
     against any one of the affiliates which provides financial support or
     services to the Partnerships could have a materially adverse effect on the
     present and future operations of the Partnerships.  There can be no
     assurance as to the outcome of any of the legal proceedings.

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

On October 28, 1985, VMS National Hotel Portfolio I and II (the Partnerships)
commenced a private offering of $97,350,000 in Limited Partnership interests
pursuant to their respective Private Placement Memorandums.  A total of 649
units were offered and sold at $150,000 per unit.  Subscribers for the Units
had the option to contribute partially in cash upon subscription with the
remaining purchase price payable in annual installments over a five year period
or on a basis other than the foregoing option, which was acceptable to the
Managing General Partner in its sole discretion.  The Limited Partner selecting
to pay in the remaining purchase price of their units over a five year period
executed and delivered to the Partnerships full recourse notes payable.

VMS National Hotel Partners (the Operating Partnership) originally intended to
purchase 28 hotels from Holiday Inns, Inc. (HII).  Under the terms of the
offering, investors would receive a rebate of a portion of their capital
contribution if fewer than 28 hotels were acquired.  Only 24 hotels were
actually purchased, resulting in a $15,000 per unit rebate to each Limited
Partner.  The $15,000 per unit was payable over a five year period to each
Limited Partner who elected the five year payment option.  The Limited Partners
who elected the all-cash option or who prepaid their notes received the $15,000
per unit rebate upon payment of their purchase price of $150,000 per unit.

On May 10, 1996, the Operating Partnership and affiliated sub-partnerships
filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the federal bankruptcy laws in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois.  This filing
excludes Partnership I and Partnership II.  Pursuant to the Plan of
Reorganization, the deeds to the remaining hotels were transferred to the
senior lender on September 26, 1996 in consideration for the cancellation of
the senior indebtedness (the "Transfer").

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As a result of the Transfer in 1996, the Partnerships no longer have a source
of funds.  A cash reserve is being maintained for payment of the Partnerships'
obligations and contingencies.

In the short term, the Partnerships will continue to maintain a cash reserve    
for the payment of the remaining Partnerships' obligations and contingent
liabilities.  In the long term, the Partnerships will wind-up their affairs and
will distribute any remaining Partnerships' funds to their Limited Partners
after paying all Partnerships' expenses and the Partnerships will be dissolved
at that time.

As shown on the Combined Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents
decreased $244,453 from December 31, 1996 to June 30, 1997.  The decrease is
primarily the result of payments for Partnership obligations.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the six months ended June 30, 1996, the Operating Partnership owned and
operated fifteen hotels located in eight states throughout the continental
United States.  However, the revenues and expenses from the Partnerships' hotel
operations in 1997 are zero due to the Transfer of the remaining hotels to the
senior lender on September 26, 1996.

Partnership revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1997 decreased by
$53,641 from the same period in 1996.  The decrease is due to the reduction in
interest income and interest on the collection of notes receivable in the
amounts of $43,466 and $10,175 respectively.

Partnership expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1997 decreased by
$775,762 from the same period in 1996.  The decrease is primarily due to a
reduction of General Partners fees which are based on the gross revenues from
the hotels in the amount of $693,787.  The decrease is also due to the
reduction in professional, consulting and other fees in the amount of $81,975
which is the result of the transfer of the hotels.
