                 MARRIOTT HOTEL PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
 
                    SUPPLEMENTAL QUESTION AND ANSWER SHEET
 
(1) HOW WOULD ACCEPTING THE OFFER AFFECT ME FROM A TAX PERSPECTIVE IN 1997?
 
  We strongly suggest that Unitholders considering tendering their Units
consult their tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax
situations.
 
  Assuming that you are an individual U.S. taxpayer, that you purchased a
single Unit in the original offering, and that there is no proration of
tendered Units, if you tender your Unit you will realize estimated total
taxable income of $148,400. An estimated $143,300 would be characterized as
capital gain and the remaining $5,100 would be characterized as ordinary
income. Assuming a capital gain tax rate of 28% and that you are paying taxes
at the highest marginal individual federal income tax rate of 39.6% on
ordinary income, you would have an estimated total federal income tax
liability of $42,144 for 1997 on your 1997 Unit sale. If the closing date
occurs on or prior to January 31, 1997, you would not have any income from
operations for 1997 allocated to you.
 
  Your cash tax liability could be less if you have unused passive activity
loss carryforwards from this Partnership or from other passive investments. If
your investment in the Partnership is and has been your only investment in a
passive activity the General Partner projects that you would have a passive
activity loss carryforward of $39,500, assuming that you have properly
accounted for your passive activity investment over the years.
 
  The income that you recognize from a sale of your Unit will be income from a
passive activity. You are able to deduct passive activity loss carryforwards
from prior years from your income for the current year to the extent of your
net passive activity income for the year. Thus, if your net passive activity
income equals or exceeds your net passive activity loss carryforward from
prior years, the full amount of the carryforward losses may be deducted. The
passive activity loss rules govern the timing of passive activity loss
utilization; however, the character of the losses is unaffected by the passive
activity loss rules. Accordingly, any passive activity loss carryforwards that
you have from this Partnership will be ordinary in character, even though a
substantial portion of the passive activity income permitting these loss
carryforwards to be used is capital gain.
 
  If more than 450 Units are tendered and you tender your Unit, the Purchaser
will purchase a pro rata portion of your Unit. In this case, the basis of your
Unit would also need to be prorated between the portion of your Unit which is
sold and the portion which you retain. For example, if 600 Units are tendered
the Purchaser will purchase 75% of your Unit and you will retain the fraction
of the Unit (25%) not accepted for purchase as a result of the proration. Your
taxable income in this case would be 75% of the amount above.

  If your Unit is prorated as a result of more than 450 Units being validly
tendered, you will continue to own the prorated portion of the unit which is
not purchased by the Purchaser. Accordingly, you will continue to receive cash
distributions, and taxable income and loss allocations for this portion of the
Unit. Your adjusted basis in your prorated Unit in this example would equal
the remaining portion of the adjusted tax basis of the Unit as shown above
(including the allocable portion of the debt for your prorated Unit at that
time), plus the amount of any taxable income allocated to your prorated Unit
after consummation of the Offer, less the amount of any cash distributions or
losses allocated to your prorated Unit after consummation of the Offer.
 
(2) WHAT OTHER FACTORS MAY IMPACT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THIS INVESTMENT IF I
    RETAIN MY UNIT?
 
  The future tax consequence of retaining your Unit will be impacted by
several factors, including the operations of the Hotels, the need for further
capital improvements, the terms of the mortgage debt obtained as a result of
the required refinancings and future tax legislation. One point that you
should be aware of is that the Partnership has benefited from a tax
perspective because the original Hotel improvements have been depreciated
based on a 15 year useful life. These depreciation deductions have reduced the
taxable income allocated to each Unit by approximately $9,000 per year. Since
this depreciation benefit will expire after the year 1999 for the Harbor Beach
Hotel, and after the year 2000 for the Orlando Hotel, investors should
anticipate commensurate increases in taxable income, with no corresponding
increase in cash distributions, ignoring the impact of the other factors.

Dear Unitholder:
 
  MHP Acquisition Corp. (the "Purchaser") is extending its Offer to purchase
your units of limited partnership interest ("Units") in Marriott Hotel
Properties Limited Partnership (the "Partnership") at a net cash price per
Unit of $80,000 until Friday, January 10, 1997. As of December 20, 1996, 392

  Our Offer was originally sent to you on November 19, 1996 (the "Offer to
Purchase") and was originally set to expire on December 20, 1996. Unless
otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms in this letter have the same
meaning as in the Offer to Purchase. The amended term of the Offer set forth
below (the "Amendment") supplement and should be read in conjunction with the
Offer to Purchase, which, except to the extent modified by this letter, is
incorporated herein by reference.
 
                                 THE AMENDMENT
 
  OFFER EXTENDED TO FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1997. The Purchaser's Offer hereby is
amended to extend the period of time for which the Offer is open until 6:00
p.m., New York City time, on Friday, January 10, 1997 (the "Expiration Date").
Accordingly, the Offer, proration period and withdrawal rights now will expire

the discretion to extend the Offer further. See "The Tender Offer--Section 1--
Terms of the Offer, Expiration Date and Proration."
 
  Units which have previously been validly tendered and not withdrawn
constitute valid tenders for purposes of the Offer as amended. In order to
tender your Units pursuant to the Offer, a properly completed and duly
executed Letter of Transmittal (or facsimile thereof) with any required
signature guarantees and any other documents required by the Letter of
Transmittal must be received by the Depositary at its address set forth on the

other things, satisfaction of the Minimum Tender Condition and the Limited
Partners Consent Condition.

  The Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal contain important
information which should be read carefully before any decision is made with
respect to the Offer. As an update to our previous disclosure, the holder of a
 .5 Unit, who is an officer of the Parent and who will be leaving his position
at the end of the year, has advised the Parent that he is undecided as to his
vote on the proposed amendments to the Partnership Agreement and as to whether
or not he will be tendering his .5 Unit. Additional copies of the Offer to
