                      Notes to Financial Statements
                               (Unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q.  Accordingly,
certain information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements have been
omitted.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary
for a fair presentation of financial position and results of
operations have been made.  These interim financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated historical
financial statements and notes thereto, presented in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1996, and the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1
(No. 333-2876), as amended (the "Registration Statement"), and
the Company's prospectus, dated May 23, 1996, filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

     All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.

2.   EARNINGS PER SHARE 

     Earnings per common share for the three month and six month
periods ended June 30, 1997 were computed by dividing net income
by the weighted average shares outstanding for each period.  

     Prior to May 29, 1996, the assets of the Company were owned
and operated by Suburban Lodges of America, Inc. and its
affiliates and the limited liability companies and partnerships
(collectively, the "Predecessor Entities") which owned and
operated 16 Suburban Lodge facilities in operation, construction
or development immediately prior to the Company's initial public
offering (the "IPO").  The transactions whereby the Company
purchased the Predecessor Entities are referred to herein as the
"Corporate Organization."  The outstanding shares or other equity
interests of the Predecessor Entities differ substantially from
the shares of common stock of the Company outstanding after the
IPO.  Accordingly, the Company believes that the presentation of
historical per share information may not be meaningful.  

     The pro forma earnings per share for the three month and six
month periods ended June 30, 1996 were calculated by dividing
income before income taxes by the weighted average number of
shares of common stock deemed to be outstanding during the
respective periods.  Income before taxes has been adjusted to
provide for income taxes (approximately $269,000 and $395,000,


                                  Page 6<PAGE>
respectively, for the three month and six month periods ended
June 30, 1996) assuming a 37.5% effective tax rate.  Prior to May
29, 1996, the Company was not fully subject to income taxes
because it consisted in part of partnerships and limited
liability companies; however, if these partnerships and limited
liability companies had been subject to income taxes, pro forma
net income after taxes would have been approximately $449,000 and
$657,000, respectively, for the three month and six month periods
ended June 30, 1996, assuming a 37.5% effective tax rate.   

     In accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
15, the Company also computed supplemental earnings per common
share to be $.09 and $.15, respectively, for the three month and
six month periods ended June 30, 1996.  Supplemental net income
of approximately $590,000 and $964,000, respectively, for the
three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1996, was
computed by adjusting historical net income for (i) the
elimination of interest expense on debt  repaid with a portion of
the proceeds of the IPO; (ii) the inclusion of certain additional
corporate operating expenses; (iii) adjustments to depreciation
and amortization; (iv) the inclusion of the Forest Park hotel for
the entire quarter and (v) the computation of income taxes for
the entire period at a rate of 37.5%.  The supplemental weighted
average number of common shares outstanding (6,622,251) for both
periods is based upon the outstanding number of shares for the
beginning of each period of 6,622,251, which shares were issued
in connection with the Corporate Organization and the related
stock split and the IPO as described in the Registration
Statement.  Shares outstanding for purposes of computing
supplemental earnings per share exclude 1,925,705 shares issued
relative to amounts used for general corporate purposes.

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

COMPARISON OF THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 TO THE QUARTER
ENDED JUNE 30, 1996


     Total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 was
approximately $5,646,000, which was an increase of $3,562,000, or
171%, over the quarter ended June 30, 1996.  Room revenue for the
quarter increased by approximately $3,326,000, of which
approximately $2,068,000 was attributable to the opening and full
quarter to date results of the nine hotels which opened since
June 30, 1996; a total of $156,000 relates to the full quarter
results for the Forest Park hotel which was acquired in May 1996;
and approximately $1,168,000 relates to the acquisition of four
existing hotels on February 28, 1997.  In addition, a decrease of
approximately $66,000 in revenue was attributable to hotels open
throughout both periods, reflecting a 3.2% decrease in occupancy
and a 1.3% decrease in the average weekly rate ("AWR") from
$153.89 to $151.87 for hotels open throughout both periods.  A
portion of the change in the AWR relates to an Atlanta property
which had a non-recurring increase in AWR in 1996 due to the
Olympic Games in Atlanta.  Occupancy for all Company hotels
declined from 95.6% to 90.2% because of the ramp-up period for
the 12 hotels opened since March 31, 1996; however, the AWR for
all Company hotels increased from $150.40 to $155.33.  In
addition, other hotel revenues increased approximately $316,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 compared to the quarter ended
June 30, 1996.

     Franchise and other revenue from corporate operations for
the quarter ended June 30, 1997, which includes management,
franchise and development revenue, was approximately $216,000,
compared to $296,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996. 
Franchise revenue for the quarter increased about $34,000 from
$70,000 in 1996 to $104,000 in 1997.  The additional franchise
revenue reflects a decrease of $16,000 in initial franchise fees
from two openings in the quarter ended June 30, 1996 to one
opening in the current quarter, and an increase of $50,000 in
royalties on open hotels. Development and construction revenue
decreased approximately $80,000, as the Company focused on
accelerating development of Company-owned hotels during 1997. 
For the quarter ended June 30, 1997, there were no third party
management fees, whereas in the comparable quarter ended June 30,
1996, there was one hotel under management, which was acquired on
May 29, 1996 as part of the Corporate Organization.

     Hotel operating expenses increased about $1,683,000, or
216%, to approximately $2,462,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
1997, from approximately $780,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
1996. The majority of this increase, or approximately $1,594,000,
related to the opening and quarter to date expenses for the nine
hotels which opened and the five hotels acquired since June 30,
1996. The balance of the increase in hotel operating expenses of
$89,000 related to expenses at hotels open during the entire
period for both years. Hotel operating margins decreased from
56.4% to 54.6% from June 30, 1996 to June 30, 1997, due primarily
to fixed operating costs associated with new hotels, which lower
the operating margin during the ramp-up period.  


                                Page 8<PAGE>
     Corporate operating expenses increased $131,000, or
approximately 41%, to $452,000, due to additional staffing in the
financial, management and development segments of the business,
insurance, legal and professional fees associated with being a
public company, increased rent and related office expenses and
expanded travel related expenses.  

     Depreciation and amortization increased to $638,000 from
approximately $130,000 as a result of the hotels opened or
acquired since June 30, 1996. In addition, the Company incurred
loan amortization costs associated with its $25 million line of
credit. 

     Interest expense declined from $268,000 in the quarter ended
June 30, 1996 to $12,000 for the comparable quarter in 1997, as a
result of the payoff of all debt on operating properties with
proceeds from the IPO.  In addition, the Company completed a
second offering on November 25, 1996, and the investment of the
excess funds generated interest income for the quarter ended June
30, 1997 of approximately $552,000, compared to $139,000 in the
quarter ended June 30, 1996.  Income tax expense increased by
$821,000 as compared to 1996.  The effective tax rate of 36% in
1997 exceeded the 18% rate applicable in the comparable quarter
of 1996 because the Company became a taxable entity on May 29,
1996.


COMPARISON OF THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 TO THE SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996

     Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was
approximately $9,568,000, which was an increase of $5,815,000, or
155%, over the six month period ended June 30, 1996.  Room
revenue for the period increased by approximately $5,410,000, of
which approximately $5,531,000 was attributable to the opening
and year to date results for the 11 hotels which opened and the
one hotel acquired during or after the quarter ended June 30,
1996, and the partial year to date room revenue for the four
hotels acquired in February 1997.  In addition, facilities open
throughout both periods experienced a decrease in room revenue of
$121,000, reflecting a 3.2% decrease in occupancy and a 1.3%
decrease in the AWR.  The decrease in revenue relates primarily
to the temporary impact of opening additional Company-owned
facilities in cities in which the Company had existing
facilities.  The increase in total room revenue reflects a 3.3%
increase in the AWR for all Company hotels from $150.40 to
$155.33, which resulted from rate increases at some existing
hotels as well as the overall impact of additional deluxe rooms
available at all of the facilities opened after June 30, 1996.   

     Franchise and other revenue from corporate operations for
the six month period ended June 30, 1997, which includes
management, franchise and development revenue, was approximately
$451,000, compared to $513,000 for the six month period ended
June 30, 1996.  Franchise revenue for the period increased
$104,000, or 65%, from $160,000 in 1996 to $264,000 in 1997.  The
additional franchise revenue reflects initial franchise fees on
four new Suburban Lodge facilities opened in 1997 and increased

                                  Page 9
<PAGE>
royalties on open facilities.  Development and construction
revenue decreased approximately $119,000 due to the Company's
focus on development of Company-owned facilities since June 30,
1996.      

     Hotel operating expenses increased $2,898,000, or
approximately 202%, to $4,330,000 for the six month period ended
June 30, 1997, from $1,432,000 for the six month period ended
June 30, 1996.  The majority of this increase, or $2,741,000,
reflects the opening and full year to date expenses for 11 hotels
which opened and the one hotel acquired during or after the
quarter ended June 30, 1996, and the partial year to date
expenses for the four hotels acquired in February 1997.  In
addition, hotels opened throughout both periods experienced an
increase in operating expenses of $157,000.  Facility operating
margins decreased from 55.8% to 52.5% from June 30, 1996 to June
30, 1997, due primarily to fixed operating costs associated with
new facilities which opened after June 30, 1996.  

     Depreciation and amortization increased from $247,000 to
$1,104,000, principally as a result of the 14 facilities opened
or acquired after June 30, 1996.   

     Corporate operating expenses increased $259,000, or
approximately 43%, to $856,000, due to  additional staffing in
the financial, management and development segments of the
business, legal and professional fees associated with being a
public company and executive compensation and benefit plans.  

     Interest expense during the six month period ended June 30,
1997 decreased to $13,000 from $554,000 during the six month
period ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease is primarily
attributable to the use of a portion of the net proceeds from the
IPO to retire all of the then existing debt.  

     Income tax expense increased by $1,494,000 as compared to
1996, because the Company became a taxable entity on May 29,
1996.  


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company applied a portion of the net proceeds from the
IPO to the repayment of approximately $21 million in debt, plus
accrued interest, and paid approximately $7.6 million in
connection with the acquisition of certain hotels as part of the
Corporate Organization, leaving approximately $30 million
available for development of additional Suburban Lodge hotels and
general corporate purposes.  Since the IPO, the Company has used
the remaining net proceeds from the IPO and cash flow from
operations to fund development and construction of additional
hotels and for working capital. 

     On November 25, 1996, the Company completed a secondary
offering which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of
approximately $53 million.  As of June 30, 1997, the Company had
approximately $38 million in cash and cash equivalents.  These
funds are targeted for future acquisitions and construction and

                               Page 10<PAGE>
development of additional hotels.  As of June 30, 1997, the
Company had borrowed $15 million under its line of credit.  On
February 28, 1997, the Company acquired four Suburban Lodge
hotels from a franchisee and utilized approximately $12.5 million
in cash to pay off the existing debt related to such hotels.

     The Company anticipates that the total cost to complete
construction of the 17 Company-owned hotels expected to open by
the end of 1997 will be approximately $46 million.  The Company
intends to fund the development and construction of these hotels
with existing cash balances, cash flow from operations and
borrowings under its line of credit.  While the Company
anticipates that there may be some markets where, due to a number
of factors (such as union subcontractors), its development costs
will be higher, overall the Company anticipates that in the
immediate future a typical 136-guest room Suburban Lodge hotel
will cost approximately $3.6-3.8 million (approximately $26,000-
28,000 per guest room).   

     The Company has obtained a $25 million line of credit (the
"Line of Credit") with PNC Bank, Kentucky, Inc. ("PNC"), an
approval from PNC to increase the Line of Credit to $50 million
and a commitment, which is subject to obtaining other
participating lenders, to increase the commitment to $100
million.  The Line of Credit matures March 31, 1999, and bears
interest, at the Company's option, at (i)  the higher of PNC's
prime rate plus three-quarters of one percent or the federal
funds rate, plus one and one quarter percent or (ii) the Euro-
Rate plus two and one quarter percent.  The Line of Credit is
secured by substantially all the assets of the Company.  The Line
of Credit restricts, among other items, the incurrence of
indebtedness, the sale of assets, the incurrence of liens, the
concentration of facility locations and the payment of cash
dividends.  In addition, the Company is required to satisfy,
among other items, certain financial performance criteria,
including minimum net worth levels and minimum levels of earnings
before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.  As of
June 30, 1997, the Company had $35 million available under the
Line of Credit.

     In the future, the Company may seek to increase the amount
of its credit facilities, negotiate additional credit facilities
or issue corporate debt or equity securities.  Any debt incurred
or issued by the Company may be secured or unsecured, fixed or
variable rate interest and may be subject to such terms as the
Board of Directors of the Company deems prudent.  

     The Company believes that existing cash balances, cash
generated from operations and borrowings under the Line of Credit

will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital and
capital expenditure needs through the end of 1997.  However,
additional capital may be necessary for the Company to execute
its long-term development plans.
