                        POTOMAC HOTEL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1. The accompanying condensed financial statements have been prepared by Potomac
   Hotel  Limited  Partnership  (the  "Partnership")   without  audit.   Certain
   information  and  footnote   disclosures   normally   included  in  financial
   statements   presented  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting
   principles have been condensed or omitted from the  accompanying  statements.
   The  Partnership  believes  the  disclosures  made are  adequate  to make the
   information  presented  not  misleading.  However,  the  condensed  financial
   statements  should be read in conjunction  with the  Partnership's  financial
   statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's  Form 10-K for the
   fiscal year ended December 31, 1996. 
    
   In  the  opinion  of  the  Partnership,  the accompanying unaudited condensed
   financial statements reflect  all  adjustments  (which  include  only  normal
   recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position  of
   the Partnership as of March 28, 1997, and December 31, 1996,  and the results
   of operations and cash flows for the twelve weeks ended  March 28, 1997,  and
   March 22,  1996. Interim results are not  necessarily  indicative  of  fiscal
   year performance because of seasonal and short-term variations.

   For  financial  reporting purposes, the Partnership's net income is allocated
   99% to  the  limited   partners  and 1% to  Host  Marriott  Corporation  (the
   "General  Partner").   Significant  differences  exist between the net income
   for financial  reporting purposes and the  net  income for Federal income tax
   reporting purposes.   These differences are  due primarily to the use for tax
   purposes  of  differing  useful lives and accelerated  depreciation  methods,
   differing  tax  bases in contributed  capital,  and differing  timings in the
   recognition of management fee expense.
   
   Certain  reclassifications were made to the prior quarter condensed financial
   statements to conform to the current quarter presentation.

2. Revenues  represent  house  profit  of the  Partnership's  Hotels  since  the
   Partnership  has  delegated  substantially  all  of the  operating  decisions
   related to the generation of house profit of the Hotels to the manager. House
   profit  reflects  hotel  operating  results which flow to the  Partnership as
   property owner and represents gross hotel sales less property-level expenses,
   excluding depreciation and amortization,  base and incentive management fees,
   real and personal property taxes, ground and equipment rent,  insurance,  and
   certain  other  costs,  which  are  disclosed  separately  in  the  condensed
   statement of operations.  Revenues consist of the following operating results
   (in thousands):

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


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Principal Sources and Uses of Cash

The  Partnership's  principal  source  of  cash  is cash  from  operations.  Its
principal  uses of cash are to pay debt  service on the  Partnership's  mortgage
debt,  to pay amounts owed to Host  Marriott and  Marriott  International,  Inc.
("MII"),  to fund the property  improvement  funds, and to make deposits to cash
collateral accounts. Total cash provided by operations was $7.2 million and $6.9
million  for the  twelve  weeks  ended  March 28,  1997,  and  March  22,  1996,
respectively.  Principal  payments of mortgage  debt were $2.2  million and $1.2
million  for the  twelve  weeks  ended  March 28,  1997,  and  March  22,  1996,
respectively.  Principal  payments to Host  Marriott  and  affiliates  were $4.8
million and $1.0 million for the twelve  weeks ended March 28,  1997,  and March
22, 1996,  respectively.  Contributions to the property  improvement  funds were
$2.1 million and $1.8  million for the twelve  weeks ended March 28,  1997,  and
March 22, 1996,  respectively.  Net deposits to cash  collateral  accounts  were
$1.6 million and $2.1 million for the twelve  weeks ended March 28,   1997,  and
March 22, 1996,  respectively.  No cash was distributed to the Partners for the 
twelve weeks ended March 28, 1997, and March 22, 1996.

The General Partner believes that the Partnership  will have sufficient  capital
resources  and  liquidity  to continue to conduct its  business in the  ordinary
course.  It is anticipated that shortfalls in the furniture,  fixtures and 
equipment ("FF&E") reserve will occur over the next few years.  However, the
General Partner is working to resolve the expected shortfalls.

Debt

The  Partnership's  financing  needs are funded through loan agreements with (i)
The Mitsui Trust and Banking Company (the "Bank Lender"),  (ii) Host Marriott or
its affiliates, and (iii) MII or its affiliates.

Total Partnership interest expense increased 6% for the twelve weeks ended March
28, 1997,  when  compared to the same period in 1996  primarily due to increased
interest  expense  on  the  mortgage  loan  (the  "Bank  Loan")  for  six of the
Partnership's hotels (the "Bank Hotels").  The weighted average interest rate on
the Bank Loan was 7.4% for the twelve weeks ended March 28, 1997, as compared to
7.2% for the comparable period in 1996.

The Bank Loan matures on December 22, 1997; however, two one-year extensions are
available.  In order to extend the Bank Loan  maturity  date until  December 22,
1998, the Partnership  must provide notice to the lender of its intent to extend
the loan along with a debt service  coverage ratio  calculation  with a ratio of
greater than 1.2 by June 22, 1997. Based on current debt service coverage tests,
the Partnership  expects to be able to exercise the first one-year  extension of
the  loan and extend the Bank Loan  maturity  until  December 22, 1998.

Pursuant to the terms of the restated Bank Loan,  operating profit from the Bank
Hotels and the subordinated  portion of the MII base management fee, equal to 1%
of  gross  Bank  Hotel  sales,  in  excess  of  debt  service  must be held in a
collateral  account  with the Bank  Lender.  After the end of each fiscal  year,
excess cash  remaining in the  collateral  account is applied to repay Bank Loan
principal, advances

                                        5

<PAGE>

under the $26 million debt service  guaranty (the "Bank  Guaranty")  provided by
Host Marriott and,  depending upon the unadvanced  balance of the Bank Guaranty,
deferred base  management  fees to MII. As a result,  on February 24, 1997,  the
Partnership  repaid $2.2  million in principal on the Bank Loan and $2.2 million
to Host Marriott on the Bank Guaranty from 1996 excess  operating cash flow from
the Bank Hotels.  As of March 28, 1997,  the balance of the Bank Loan was $177.6
million, and $19.4 million was available under the Bank Guaranty.

In connection with the  restructuring  of the Bank Loan, Host Marriott agreed to
provide an additional  guaranty  (the  "Interest  Guaranty")  for $12 million to
cover any  shortfalls in the payment of interest  after  application of all cash
flow available for debt service.  Advances with respect to interest will be made
first  under  the  Interest  Guaranty  and then  under the Bank  Guaranty  or an
equivalent  "back-up" guaranty provided by MII (the "MII Back-up Guaranty").  No
amounts have been advanced under the Interest Guaranty.  Additionally,  in early
1997, in accordance  with the terms of the Interest  Guaranty,  Host  Marriott's
liability was reduced from $8 million to $4 million.

Host Marriott  advanced  funds (the "Host FF&E Loans") to the  Partnership  from
1991 through  1994 for the  purchase of FF&E.  The loans are secured by payments
from MII under leases from the Partnership for FF&E replacements.  On January 3,
1997, the  Partnership  repaid $2.3 million of principal to Host Marriott on the
Host  FF&E  Loans  from  funds  received  from MII as  payments  on the  leases.
Therefore,  as of March 28,  1997,  the  balance of the Host FF&E Loans was $2.9
million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Hotel  revenues  increased 16% to $15.9 million for the twelve weeks ended March
28, 1997,  when compared to the same period in 1996. The increase in revenues is
primarily due to the  increases in REVPAR at each of the eight  Hotels.  For the
first quarter of 1997, the combined  average room rate increased 9% to $116, and
the combined average  occupancy  increased three percentage  points to 84%, when
compared to the same period in 1996.  On a combined  basis,  the Hotels have all
been able to increase their average room rates with little or no negative impact
to their  average occupancies. It appears that strong demand for the rooms still
exists throughout the country.

Incentive management fees, base management fees, and ground rent are  calculated
generally as  a  percentage  of Hotel sales or Hotel revenues.  The increases in
these expenses for first quarter 1997 are directly related to the  increases  in
Hotel sales and Hotel revenues for first quarter 1997.

Net income  increased  76% to $3.0  million for the twelve weeks ended March 28,
1997 as compared to $1.7 million for the same period in 1996 due to the increase
in Hotel revenues as discussed above.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain  matters  discussed  herein are  forward-looking  statements  within the
meaning of the  Private  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 and as such may  involve
known and unknown  risks,  uncertainties,  and other factors which may cause the
actual  results,  performance or achievements of the Partnership to be different
from any future  results,  performance or  achievements  expressed or implied by
such  forward-  looking  statements.   Although  the  Partnership  believes  the
expectations  reflected  in  such  forward-looking  statements  are  based  upon
reasonable  assumptions,  it can give no assurance that its expectations will be
attained.  These  risks  are  detailed  from  time to time in the  Partnership's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Partnership undertakes
no  obligation  to  publicly  release  the  result  of any  revisions  to  these
forward-looking  statements  that may be made to reflect  any  future  events or
circumstances.

ITEM 1.        LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Neither the  Partnership  nor the Hotels are  presently  subject to any material
litigation nor, to the General Partner's  knowledge,  is any material litigation
threatened against the Partnership or the Hotels,  other than routine litigation
and administrative  proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some
of  which  are  expected  to  be  covered  by  liability   insurance  and  which
collectively are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the business,
financial conditions, or results of operations of the Partnership.
