ITEM 9. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE
Because of the merger of Interstate Hotels Corporation and MeriStar
Hotels & Resorts, Inc., which resulted in the formation of Interstate Hotels &
Resorts, Inc. ("IHR") and the increased scale of IHR, MeriStar Hospitality
Corporation (the "Parent"), the parent of the Registrant, and IHR plan to
further separate the management teams of the Parent and IHR, reducing the amount
of overlap between the management teams. Paul W. Whetsell will remain Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of both the Parent and IHR. The Registrant has
decided to commence a search for a Chief Financial Officer. No other definitive
decisions have been reached with respect to the composition of the management
teams of the Parent and IHR.
