SUPER 8 MOTELS NORTHWEST I UPDATE
VOL. 18 NO. 1 /APRIL 30, 1998 FIRST QUARTER 1998
NATIONAL NEWS
CENDANT CORPORATION IS LAUNCHED
On December 17, 1997, the Super 8 Motels franchise owner, HFS Incorporated,
merged with CUC International, Inc., and officially became "Cendant
Corporation." With assets valued at $14 billion, Cendant is one of the world's
leading providers of consumer and business services.
Cendant will create innovative approaches to delivering value and convenience to
consumers and business partners. The company's three principal segments of
operation are travel, membership and real estate. With each of these business
units combined, Cendant is poised to make marketing history.
SUPER 8 MOTELS, INC. RECEIVES MARKETING AWARDS
On January 19,1998, Super 8 received four awards at the Hospitality Sales &
Marketing Association International Award Competition. This competition is the
largest and most prestigious in the hospitality and travel industry. Super 8
competed against thousands of entries from all over the world, winning:
* Gold Public Relations Award for the Super 8 "Rooms at the Inn"
Program
* Silver Public Relations Award for the Super 8 Bedmaking Championship
* Bronze Public Relations Award for the 1500th motel grand opening
campaign
* Bronze Advertising Award for the Bill Elliott television commercial
50TH SUPER 8 MOTEL NOW OPEN IN CANADA
Super 8 Motels' rapid growth has reached north to Canada, with its fiftieth
motel opening in the fourth quarter of 1997. In just one year, ten new motels
have opened in that country, bringing the year-end total to 52.
Calgary-based Royop Hospitality Corporation, the owner of development and
franchise rights for Canada, is focused on building the Super 8 name across
Canada. Plans are in place for the opening of another 48 Super 8 Motels within-
the next two years.
1998 NASCAR SPONSORSHIP ANNOUNCED
Super 8 Motels, Inc., recently announced the renewal of its NASCAR sponsorship
with Bill Elliott Racing. In 1997, Elliott appeared in a national Super 8
commercial praising the benefits of staying at Super 8 Motels. This television
campaign will continue in 1998 with the "Let's Look Inside Bill's Room"
commercial.
The sponsorship includes Elliott's #94 McDonald's Ford for the entire Winston
Cup Series. The series is covered on national television and radio, and reached
more than 188 million viewers in 1997.

NATIONAL CONVENTION KEYNOTES BOB DOLE
Keynote speaker at the 1998 Super 8 Motels International Convention, held March
6-8 in Orlando, Florida, was former U. S. Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole.
Although retired from elective office, Mr. Dole's public service record gives
him a solid perspective on political issues facing our nation, and insight into
the most pressing issues in our nation's future.
Other highlights of the convention included Super 8 President Bob Weller's
"State of the 8" address, a full presentation and update on the "Project Power
Up" computerization program, numerous business development seminars, and
national awards in VIP sales, marketing programs, and customer service. The
Peninsula Group's national awards are noted in the Regional News section of the
Update.
REGIONAL NEWS
PENINSULA MANAGEMENT NORTHWEST SELECTED AS BETA SITE
As mentioned in the January Update, Peninsula Management Northwest requested,
and subsequently received, permission to serve as a test site for the "Project
Power Up" computer program. Power Up is scheduled to go nationwide in 1999.
The Lacey Super 8 Motel was chosen for installation, as it is the official
training property for Peninsula Management. Its close proximity to the corporate
headquarters was also a factor, enabling daily hands-on training and
communication with key management, accounting, and staff development personnel.
Installation and training began in March, and though the first several weeks
were not without challenges, each was worked through to Peninsula's
satisfaction. Management continues to be enthusiastic about the program's short-
and long-term benefits to operations as follows:
* Integration of inventory management with central reservations
* Improved yield management
* On-line credit card processing
* Improved staffing allocations and room maintenance management
* Direct property-to-property reservations
* Access to customer profiles and databases
Equipment and training for Project Power Up are being provided to all 1,600
Super 8 Motels nationwide at no cost by the Cendant Corporation. A schedule for
installation at the balance of Super 8s operated by Peninsula Management
Northwest will be announced in the fall of 1998.
NORTHWEST MOTELS NATIONAL AWARD WINNERS
Several properties managed by Peninsula Management Northwest received national
awards at the 1998 Super 8 Motels International Convention as noted below:
* Golden Pineapple Hospitality Awards for Customer Service: Denise
Johnson, Regional Director, PMNW; Jeanne Wilson and Robin Shaw,
Redmond Super 8 Motel; and Jean Gesh, Lacey Super 8 Motel
<PAGE> 6
* Super Sales Award in Marketing-. Esin Davis, Sales and Marketing
Director, PMNW
* National 1997 VIP Challenge Award: Tom Zett, General Manager,
Portland Super 8 Motel, and Ron Ehli, General Manager, SeaTac Super
8 Motel
In addition to these honors, 16 PMNW motels were added to the 1997 National "VIP
Club All Stars" Hall of Fame.
ROSEBURG CONSTRUCTION PROGRESSING ON SCHEDULE
Since the January announcement of the Roseburg site acquisition, actual
construction has commenced. Foundation work is complete, and summer travelers on
the 1-5 corridor will observe its progress towards completion.
The total development plan includes sites for the construction, by third
parties, of both a family-style restaurant and a fuel and food mart, as well as
a Phase II addition of 16 rooms to the Super 8 Motel. Future Update news will
keep readers informed as to project process.
The 88-room Roseburg Super 8 Motel is scheduled to open Thursday, November 12,
1998. It will feature all the traditional Peninsula amenities, including an
enclosed pool, meeting room, and continental breakfast bar in the lobby area.
SUPER 8 MOTELS NORTHWEST I
First Quarter 1998 operational results for Super 8 Motels Northwest I show Total
Sales increased by $62,562, or 11 %, over the first quarter of 1997. The Net
Income line shows a decrease relative to 1997, but this is principally a result
of the costs resulting from the major renovation going on at the Federal Way
property. The majority of these costs are traditionally expensed, thus the
Supplies and Maintenance line item in Direct Operating Expenses is about $70,000
higher than 1997. Most of the other expenses were well controlled.
The increase in revenues was largely attributable to the good growth at SeaTac
where occupancy for the quarter increased by 9%, while average daily rate
increased $.47 as compared to the first quarter 1997. The Federal Way property
experienced relatively flat occupancy, but had an increase of average daily rate
of $.64. These figures kept Federal Way essentially even with the same period of
1997. If we were to adjust for the increase in expenses arising from the
renovation, Net Income would be up about 30% year to date over 1997.
Enclosed are occupancy and room rate comparisons for each property, first
quarter unaudited financial statements, and a copy of the December 31, 1997
year-end audited financial statements as prepared by the CPA firm of Moss Adams.
Your first quarter 1998 distribution check is in the amount of $37.50 per
partnership unit. This represents a 15% annualized return on your original
investment.
Please be reminded that the offers to purchase units by various liquidity funds
are normally far below the original cost of $1,000 per unit, and less than the
consolidated appraised value of the motels owned by the partnership as completed
in August of 1996. This information has been reported to you in past
newsletters, but we again want to remind you that if you find a need to dispose
of your units, you are
<PAGE> 7
encouraged to call your NASD registered securities representative, or the
partnership office, so that you may be assisted in transferring your units at a
fair value.
