$15.00 per share, under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, 6,842 shares of
Common Stock are subject to outstanding options with an exercise price of

Stock being registered hereunder with an exercise price which cannot be

PART II
INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
ITEM 3. INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.
The following documents filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "Commission") are incorporated herein by reference:
(a) Prospectus of Cavanaughs Hospitality Corporation (the "Company")
filed on April 6, 1998 relating to the Registration Statement on
Form S-1 filed with the Commission on January 20, 1998 (File No.
333-44491), as amended on February 27, 1998, March 10, 1998 and
March 27, 1998;
(b) The description of the Company's Common Stock contained in the
Company's Registration Statement on Form 8-A filed on March 13,
1998 (File No. 001-13957);
(c) The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
March 31, 1998; and

All documents subsequently filed by the Company pursuant to Sections
13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act"), prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment that
indicates that all securities offered have been sold or that deregisters all
securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by
reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of
filing of such documents.
ITEM 4. DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.
Not applicable.
ITEM 5. INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.
Not applicable.
ITEM 6. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
The Company's Amended and Restated By-Laws ("By-Laws") and Amended and
Restated Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") provide that the Company
shall, to the full extent permitted by the Washington Business Corporation Act
(the "WBCA"), as amended from time to time, indemnify all directors and officers
of the Company. In addition, the Articles contain a provision eliminating the
personal liability of directors to the Company or its shareholders for monetary
damage arising out of a breach of fiduciary duty. Chapter 23B.08.510 and .570
of the WBCA authorizes a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers,
employees, or agents in terms sufficiently broad to permit such indemnification
under certain circumstances for liabilities (including provisions permitting
advances for reasonable expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act.
II-1
<PAGE>
Pursuant to Chapter 23B.08.580 of the WBCA, the Board of Directors (the
"Board") may authorize, by a vote of a majority of a quorum of the Board, the
Company to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was
a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at
the request of the Company as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or
agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee
benefit plan or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and
incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such,
whether or not the Company would have the power to indemnify him against such
liability under Chapter 23B.08.510 or 23B.08.520 of the WBCA. The Board has
authorized the Company to purchase and maintain appropriate policies of
insurance on behalf of the Company's directors and officers against liabilities
asserted against any such person arising out of his or her status as such. The
Board may authorize the Company to enter into a contract with any person who is
or was a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee or agent of the Company
or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
employee or agent of another partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit
plan or other enterprise providing for indemnification rights equivalent to or,
if the Board so determines, greater than those provided for in the By-Laws. The
Board has authorized the Company to enter into contracts providing for
indemnification with any person who is or was a director or officer of the
Company.
The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain members
of management containing provisions entitling the executive to indemnification
for losses incurred in the course of service to the Company or its subsidiaries,
under certain circumstances.

ITEM 9. UNDERTAKINGS
The Company hereby undertakes:
(1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
i. to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the
Securities Act;
ii. to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after
the effective date of the registration statement (or the most
recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or
in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the registration statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume
of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities
offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any
deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed
with the Commission pursuant to rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20
percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth
in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective
registration statement.
iii. to include any material information with respect to the plan of
distribution not previously disclosed in the registration
statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (ii) do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the
Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof;
(3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering;
(4) that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant to Section
13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof; and
(5) insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company
has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.
In the
II-3
<PAGE>
event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Company of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Company in the successful defense of any action, suit
or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the shares being registered, the Company will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Re: SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF CAVANAUGHS
HOSPITALITY CORPORATION
Gentlemen:
I am general counsel to Cavanaughs Hospitality Corporation, a Washington
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with its Registration Statement on
Form S-8, filed on or about August 6, 1998 (the "Registration Statement"), filed
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to the proposed
offering of an aggregate of up to 1,502,385 shares (the "Shares") of the
Company's Common Stock, par value $.01 per share.
In that connection, I have reviewed the Amended and Restated Articles of
Incorporation of the Company, its Amended and Restated By-Laws, resolutions of
its Board of Directors and such other documents and records as I deemed
appropriate.
On the basis of such review and having regard to legal considerations that I
deemed relevant, it is my opinion that the Shares have been duly authorized, and
upon issuance, delivery and payment therefor in the manner contemplated by the
Registration Statement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration
Statement.
Very truly yours,
