VOL. 17 NO. 1 /APRIL 30, 1997 FIRST QUARTER 1997
UPDATE
SUPER 8 MOTELS NORTHWEST I
NATIONAL NEWS
DOMINANCE IN ECONOMY LODGING CONTINUES IN '97
The first quarter of 1997 was one of continuing strength throughout the nation.
As the fastest-growing motel chain in North America, Super 8 now has over 1,500
motels operating in 48 states and 6 Canadian provinces. The additional 260
properties currently under construction will provide for even greater dominance
by Fall.
D.K. Shiffiet, the leading consumer research firm in the hospitality industry,
recently confirmed that Super 8 leads all other brands in the economy segment
both in system growth rate and in the number of reservations secured through the
toll-free reservation system. Rooms reserved through Superline stand at a
record-breaking 43%.
Completing the picture is a look at the VIP Club, clearly an industry stand-out
in customer-retention programs. The Club now boasts over 4.4 million members,
accounting for 51% of Super 8 reservations in 1996.
SUPER 8 UPHOLDS QUALITY
Following its commitment made one year ago, Super 8 has continued to be vigilant
in quality assurance by terminating 14 motels in 1996, while still maintaining
dynamic growth. "Super 8 will not tolerate motels that jeopardize the quality
image of the system. With quarterly inspections at motels, Super 8 continues to
have the most consistent quality image among large chains in America," said
Super 8 President Bob Weller.
On a positive note, there were several cases where reinstatement of terminated
properties was granted based upon extensive renovations and upgrades reviewed
and approved by Super 8. The owners of these reinstated motels recognized Super
8's competitive advantage and decided to comply with Super 8's quality standards
in order to remain in the system. Super 8 will continue to be vigilant with its
quality assurance policies.
NATIONAL ADVERTISING AND PROMOTIONS FOR 1997
Super 8 Motels will continue its NASCAR sponsorship with Bill Elliott
Motorsports in 1997. Advertising space has been acquired on the TV panel located
on the rear of Elliott's Winston Cup car #94. Other sponsors on the car include
Ford Thunderbird and McDonald's restaurants.
In order to increase television exposure, Super 8 will air its commercials on
the highly-viewed NBA playoff games this Spring. A total of 18 games is slotted
to reach the 70% male market.
<PAGE> 7
A thirteen-week schedule from April to June has been set on "Imus in the
Morning," a national radio program that airs during morning drive-time in 72
markets. Don Imus, the hottest radio personality in America today, covers
politics, current events, and celebrity interviews. Imus will do a live read of
five 30-second spots per week.

REGIONAL NEWS
On April 7, key members of Peninsula Management Northwest traveled to REDMOND,
OREGON, for a Redmond Chamber of Commerce "Business After Hours" function, held
at the construction site of the newest Northwest Super 8 Motel. In addition to
an excellent turnout of Chamber members, Peninsula was joined by the Redmond
Mayor, Rotary President, and representatives of numerous area developers. Tours
of the facility were offered, and PMNW sales/marketing staff enlightened
attendees as to the amenities of the new Super 8.
This 85-room property features an elevator, central corridor, indoor pool and
spa, guest laundry facilities, electronic door locks, and a meeting room that
seats approximately 30 people. Adjacent to the property is a family-style
restaurant, which will complement the Super 8 operation well. Look for this
motel to open on June 27 for a brisk Summer season.
Construction continues on a new 81-room Super 8 Motel, which will be located
just off the I-5 corridor in WOODBURN, OREGON. The property will feature all the
amenities mentioned above, including a complementary continental breakfast,
indoor pool and spa, and a handicapped-accessible suite. A Fall opening date
will be announced in the next edition of the Update.
SUPER 8 MOTELS NORTHWEST I
First quarter 1997 operational results for Super 8 Motels Northwest I show Total
Sales increased by $14,428 over the first quarter of 1996. This is an increase
of 2.6%.
Federal Way occupancy decreased by about 3%, while its average daily rate
increased by $1.46 per rented room. The net result was a slight decline in
revenues. On the other hand, SeaTac occupancy remained essentially even with
1996, while average daily rate increased by $3.60, which resulted in an increase
in room sales of over $20,000. The result for the partnership is that Net Income
increased slightly in 1997 to $128,215 compared to $126,760 in 1996.
<PAGE> 8
First quarter distribution is in the amount of $25.00 per partnership unit. This
represents a 10% annualized return on your original partnership investment.
Enclosed you will find occupancy and room rate charts, first quarter unaudited
financial statements, and a copy of the December 31,1996 year-end audited
financial statements as prepared by the CPA firm of Moss Adams.
The partnership informational Meeting was held at SeaTac on April 14th and at
Portland on April 16th. Partner attendance was very good and we appreciate the
interest. One of the comments at the meeting was that once again there had been
offers made by various liquidity funds to purchase units at far below the
original unit cost of $1,000. If you find a need to dispose of your units, you
are urged to call your NASD registered securities representative or the
partnership office so that you may be assisted in receiving a fair value for
your units.
The official Business Meeting for Super 8 Motels Northwest I will be held on
Thursday, June 12, 1997, at 10:30 a.m. at the Corporate Office of The Peninsula
Group located at 7515 Terminal Street S.W., Tumwater, Washington.
Thank you for your continuing support of Super 8 Motels Northwest I, and
remember: If your summer plans include travel, CALL SUPERLINE AT 1-800-800-8000
