Dear Mr. Grotewohl:

Pursuant to your  request,  we have  analyzed the proposed  transaction  whereby
Tiburon Capital  Corporation would acquire the following hotel which is owned by
Super 8 Motels II, Ltd.

                                    Super 8 Motel
                                    2632 North Cleveland Avenue
                                    Santa Rosa, California


As we understand it, Tiburon Capital  Corporation would acquire this property on
an all cash basis for a total consideration of $2,200,000. Based on our analysis
of the above hotel property, we are of the opinion that the proposed transaction
is fair and equitable from a financial standpoint to the limited partners of the
Partnership

If you  have  any  questions  on the  foregoing,  or if I can be of any  further
assistance, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.

                                        Very truly yours,
