PART I
ITEM 1.
Business
(a) General Development of Business
Super 8 Motels Northwest II, a Washington limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), was formed to invest in and operate three "economy" motels to be
located in the states of Washington and Oregon, as a franchise of Super 8
Motels, Inc. The Partnership does not own any interest in Super 8 Motels, Inc.,
the national franchiser, or in The Peninsula Group Incorporated, the regional
sub-franchiser and one of the General Partners of the Partnership. The other
General Partner is Gerald L. Whitcomb.
The Partnership was formed in March, 1982. The Limited Partnership Units of the
Partnership (the "Units") were offered and sold by selected broker-dealers on a
best efforts basis in the states of Washington, Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Alaska,
Wisconsin, Illinois and Georgia.
Sale of the Units began on May 8, 1982. Funds were released from impound on
January 12, 1983, when gross sales of the Units reached $950,000. The
Partnership Agreement was amended in May 1983 to provide for a gross offering of
$6,602,000. At December 31, 1983, the Partnership had raised a total of
$2,710,000. On May 8, 1984, the offering was closed. In the period January 1,
1984, through May 8, 1984, the Partnership raised $1,342,000 in additional
limited partnership subscriptions. The final results of the offering were 4,052
Units sold yielding gross offering proceeds of $4,052,000. This was $2,550,000
under the initially intended subscription amount.
To achieve the Partnership's objective of developing three Super 8 Motel
properties, long-term mortgage financing in the amount of $2,200,000 was
arranged through Sterling Savings and Association of Chehalis, Washington
(formerly Central Evergreen Savings and Loan). This debt is secured by the
Portland property and assignment of the Union Gap (Yakima) land lease (see Item
2a).
(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments.
Not applicable as the registrant operates in a single industry (motels) and
within that industry only in the economy category. For financial information
generally, see "Financial Statements."
(c) Narrative Description of Business.
The motel properties were developed and are being operated as economy motels in
the locations indicated below. The motel properties are franchisees of the
national "Super 8" motel chain. The economy motel concept provides for a clean,
comfortable average-size motel room that has all the basic amenities required by
the traveling public at a price lower than that of most surrounding motel
properties of equal quality.
PAGE 3
<PAGE> 4
All guest rooms are equipped with direct-dial telephone, color television and
tub/shower combination, and are fully carpeted, sound proofed and insulated.
Guests are allowed to use major national credit cards and cash checks with
V.I.P. Club membership. Vending machines are also available.
Each property has interior hallways, a lobby with a manager's office, an
employee lounge, an in-house laundry, a guest laundry facility and conference
room and a manager's apartment. No restaurants are located on any of the
properties,
The 77 room Bremerton property services the military-based City of Bremerton,
Washington.
The 80 room Portland property's proximity to the Portland International Airport
allows it to provide free transportation to and from the airport, courtesy
telephone and long term parking privileges. The property has one mini-suite and
a small conference room available.
The 95 room Union Gap property features a year-round indoor swimming pool, one
mini-suite, a medium-size conference room, guest laundry facilities and special
parking for commercial trucks.
Each of the properties historically experiences seasonal fluctuations in
occupancy, the low point occurring in the winter months and peaking in the late
summer.
The motels provide full or part-time employment for approximately 57 people
(Bremerton 15, Portland 21, Union Gap 21).
(d) Financial Information About Foreign and Domestic Operations and Export
Sales.
The Partnership operates only in one geographic area, the Pacific Northwest
(Washington and Oregon states). For financial information generally, see
"Financial Statements."
ITEM 2.
Properties
(a) Location and General Characteristics
In 1983, the Partnership leased the Bremerton, Washington 1.75 acre site located
on State Road 3 and Kitsap Way. The lease has a 37 year term. Adjacent to the
site is a 24 hour family restaurant.
In 1983, the Partnership purchased the Portland, Oregon site for a purchase
price of $720,000. This site is at the interchange of Interstate 205 and Airport
Way, approximately one mile east of the Portland International Airport.
In 1983, the Partnership leased the Union Gap, Washington site located at the
intersection of 1-82 and Rudkin Road just south of Yakima, Washington. The lease
is for a term of 30 years.
The Bremerton motel opened on October 23, 1983, the Portland motel on May 25,
1984 and the Union Gap motel on September 14, 1984.
PAGE 4
<PAGE> 5
The motels are of frame construction with stucco exteriors and tile roofs and
have full fire alarm systems. In addition, the Portland motel is fully equipped
with a fire protection sprinkler system. Heating and cooling is by individual
room through the wall heat pumps.
The approximate size of the buildings is as follows:
<TABLE>
<S> <C>
Bremerton 29,740 square feet
Portland 31,900 square feet
Union Gap 39,190 square feet
</TABLE>
Additionally, significant environmental contamination including ground water
contamination, has been discovered within the Airport Way Urban Renewal Area at
the former ICN site, a medical manufacturing firm. ICN, which is no longer in
existence, potentially discharged hazardous substances into wells which have
contaminated the ground water. Such contamination may or may not have affected
the Partnership's property. POC has orally advised the Partnership that it
believes it is unlikely that the Partnership's property is contaminated.
A 33 room addition to the Union Gap property opened for occupancy on January 15,
1991. Total cost of the addition (including furniture and fixtures) was
$875,000. For utilization of these properties see Item 7.
See Item 1 (c) for further information on each property.
ITEM 3.
Legal Proceedings
The Partnership is not party to any material legal proceedings.
ITEM 4
Submission of matters for a Vote of Security Holders
None.

<PAGE> 6
PART II
ITEM 5.
Market for the Registrant's Common Stock
Related Security Holder Matters
The units are owned by approximately 850 investors.
There is no established public trading market for the units and no significant
transactions in units between a willing buyer and a willing seller have occurred
since the original offering of limited partnership units. Because of this, the
Partnership is unable to ascertain a fair market value for the units.
Distributions of cash to the Limited Partners made during 1995 totaled
$1,174,026. This was an increase of $414,276 from the $759,750 cash distribution
made to the Limited Partners in 1994.

*In filings prior to the year ended December 31, 1994 with the United States
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and in the Partnership's prior
years' financial statements, the Partnership did not accrue unpaid property
management fees due to the uncertainty of payment. During the year ended
December 31, 1994, the partnership changed its method of accounting for such
fees and the above information was restated for 1993, 1992, 1991 to account for
such fees so that Net Income, Long Term Debt and Net Income Per Unit was revised
to accrue the expense when incurred and reflect the associated liability on the
balance sheet.

Detailed financial data is provided in the form of audited financial statements
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and for each of the three years ended December
31, 1995, 1994, and 1993. These statements show the results of operations,
changes in partners' equity, cash flows and additional financial disclosures.
ITEM 7.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Liquidity of the Partnership continued to be strong for the year ended December
31, 1995. The current ratio at December 31, 1995, was 2.57:1 and working capital
consisted of $540,908.
The interest rate on the Partnership's long term debt is tied to a treasury bill
index plus margin of 3.5% per annum. The long term interest rate on debt
encumbering the Portland property was changed to 9.0% per annum on September 1,
1994 and will remain at this level through August of 1995 when it will be
adjusted, again based upon treasury bill rates. The interest rate was 6.875% per
annum through August 31, 1994, prior to the annual adjustment.
Interest rate on the long term loan funding the Yakima addition is variable
based on the treasury bill index plus 2.5% per annum, but was fixed through
December 31, 1995 at 10.25% per annum.
The economic growth occurring throughout the regional economy resulted in stable
occupancy at each of the Partnership's three properties.

Gross room rate* $49.25 $47.03 $49.05
</TABLE>
*"Gross Room Rate" is defined as total room revenue divided by total rooms sold.
Rented rooms decreased from 68,822 during 1994 to 66,537, or a decrease of 2,285
rented rooms or a percentage decrease of 3.3%. Management believes that the
properties could have been more aggressive in 1995 in their marketing efforts
and has taken steps to attempt to reverse this downward trend.
Total occupancy declined slightly from 75% during 1994 to 73% during 1995, a
decrease of 2%. The decline in rented rooms was offset by a $2.22 increase in
gross room rates which resulted in a $40,607 increase in gross room revenues
during 1995 from $3,236,567 to $3,277,174.
Net income decreased $65,769 from $771,673 to $705,904, a decrease of 8.52% from
1994 net income. The slight decrease in net income resulted almost exclusively
from increases in direct operating, interest and general and administrative
expenses.
In 1995, the Bremerton property entered into a contract with the U.S. Navy to
rent approximately 42 rooms through late Fall, 1996, in order to berth sailors
from the U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln while the ship was undergoing repairs in
Bremerton. This contract should significantly increase occupancy in the
Bremerton property for 1996.
A planned maintenance program for the properties began in 1995 (estimated cost
of approximately $250,000 - financed through a line of credit obtained in 1995)
which is intended to provide repairs and refurbishments needed to improve guest
facilities and appearance of the properties to assure guest satisfaction.

On February 16, 1993, the Board of Directors of Super 8 Motels, Inc., the
Partnership's franchiser, announced an agreement to sell the company to
Hospitality Franchise Systems, Inc. The transaction closed shortly thereafter.
Hospitality Franchise Systems, Inc., the world's largest franchiser of hotel
rooms, is a publicly held company whose stock is traded on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol "HFS." The company has more than 4,400 franchised
Super 8 Motels, Days Inn, Howard Johnson, Ramada and other motel brands with
over 300,000 rooms in the United States, Canada, Mexico, India, and Europe.
HFS operates its franchise business in a manner that respects the separate
identity of each brand. They maintain separate marketing campaigns, additional
general franchise services, and separate reservation systems and "800" numbers.
Having over 4,200 properties worldwide, HFS provides enormous opportunities in
marketing, purchasing, and technology. This transaction will now make available
to Super 8 franchisees HFS's operational, marketing, and franchise sales
experience.
Nationwide the Super 8 motel chain continues to grow, increasing the name
familiarity of the chain.

The Super 8 "Superline" national reservation system and "VIP Club"

Distributions paid to the partners in 1995 aggregated $1,174,026, which equaled
a per-unit amount necessary to pay to the limited partners a 10% cumulative
return on their investment from the final closing of the offering of units on
May 5, 1984. Subsequently, on January 31, 1996, the limited partners were paid
amounts, which varied by partner, necessary to pay that partner a 10% return on
their investment from the date of their investment (or, if later, the initial
breaking of the escrow established in connection with the offering on January
12, 1983) until the closing of the offering on May 5, 1984.
Prior to 1985, the Partnership had been accruing, as an expense and as a
liability, the Motels' property management fees. Even though the obligation to
pay those fees exists, the terms of the partnership agreement of the Partnership
did not allow them to be paid until such time as the limited partners have
received a cumulative annual 10% return on their adjusted capital investment. In
previous filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC"), and in the Partnership's prior years' financial statements, the
Partnership's accounting policy regarding these fees was to expense them when
paid (instead of when earned) and to not accrue unpaid property management fees
as a liability on the face of the balance sheet.
PAGE 9
<PAGE> 10
In 1994, the Partnership changed its accounting policy for property management
fees to reflect, on the Partnership's income statement, the expense when the
obligation to pay the fee was incurred and to accrue the corresponding liability
on the face of the Partnership's balance sheet. Thus, the financial information
contained in this report conforms with that reporting position. Previously,
incurred but unpaid management fees totaled $1,367,000 on December 31, 1995.
Subsequently, the Partnership paid, in February 1996, the management fees
accrued and unpaid during 1995 of $168,112. Attention is directed to Note 7 in
the "Financial Statements," for a discussion of property management fees.

incurred by the affiliate in connection with the management of the property. The
5% base fees are property management fees. The reimbursement of out-of-pocket
costs as administrative service fees."

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the General and Limited Partners
Super 8 Motels Northwest II
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Super 8 Motels Northwest II
as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of income, changes
in partners' equity, and cash flows for the three years ended December 31, 1995,
1994, and 1993. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Super 8 Motels Northwest II as
of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for the three years ended December 31, 1995, 1994, and 1993, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.
As described in Note 7, the accompanying financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1993, have been restated to reflect the accrual of property
management fees.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(g) Income per Limited Partnership Unit - Net income per limited
partnership unit was computed by dividi g the limited partners' share of net
income by the limited partners' units outstanding for each year.

vacation pay as paid rather than as earned as required by generally accepted
accounting principles. The effect upon the financial statements is not
significant.
(i) Reclassification - Certain reclassifications have been made to the
1993 statement of income for comparative purposes.
(j) Use of Estimates - The preparation of the financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amoun s reported in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
(k) Concentration of Credit Risk - The partnership has bank deposits in
excess of Federal Deposit Insurance limits. The partnership's management does
not anticipate any adverse effect on its financial position resulting from the
credit risk.
NOTE 3 - DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES
Distributions - Under the partnership agreement, on a
quarterly basis, the general partner determines the amount, if any, of cash
available for distribution and distributes cash as follows:
- 1% to the general partner and 99% to the limited partners
until the limited partners have received a cumulative pretax
return on their adjusted capital investment of 10% per year
through the end of the partnership year for which the
distribution is being made, then
- Payment of the unpaid balance of property management fees (see
Note 6), then
- Any remaining cash will be allocated 15% to the general
partner and 85% to the limited partners.

NOTE 3 - DISTRIBUTIONS AND ALLOCATIONS OF PROFITS AND LOSSES (CONTINUED)
Distributions paid to the partners in 1995 aggregated
$1,174,026, which equaled a per-unit amount necessary to pay to the limited
partners a 10% cumulative return on their investment from the final closing of
the offering of units on May 5, 1984. Subsequently, on January 31, 1996, the
limited partners were paid amounts, which varied by partner, necessary to pay
that partner a 10% return on their investment from the date of their investment
(or, if later, the initial breaking of the escrow established in connection with
the offering on January 12, 1983) until the closing of the offering on May 5,
1985.
Profit and Losses - Profits and losses are allocated 1% to the
general partner and 99% to the limited partners until the limited partners have
received a cumulative pretax return of 10% per year on their adjusted capital
investment; and thereafter, 15% to the general partner and 85% to the limited
partners.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES
The cost of certain assets and the amount of certain expenses
reported for federal income tax purposes are different from the amounts reported
under generally accepted accounting principles in the accompanying financial
statements. The differences arise primarily from:
(a) Depreciating the building for financial reporting purposes using
the straight-line method over a 30 year life, and for federal income tax
purposes using the straight-line method over a 15 or 18 year life.

NOTE 6 - RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
The partnership has a management agreement with an affiliate
of the general partner to employ the affiliate for a period of 20 years as
manager of the motels owned by the partnership. The agreement provides for
payment of a property management fee to the affiliate equal to 5% of the
partnership's gross revenues from motel operations in addition to reimbursement
of certain out-of-pocket cost incurred by the affiliate in connection with
management of the property. The 5% base fees are property management fees. The
reimbursements of out-of-pocket costs are recorded as administrative service
fees.
Payment of property management fees is subordinated to receipt
by the limited partners of a cumulative, pretax return on their adjusted capital
investment of 10% per annum. The amount of such fees that would have been paid
for services performed through December 31, 1995, had the return to the limited
partners stipulated above been met, is $1,367,160. Due to the uncertainty of
payment, property management fees had not been accrued prior to 1994. In 1994
this management fee was accrued with restatement of prior years' information.
See Note 7 for further discussion.
NOTE 7 - PRIOR-PERIOD ADJUSTMENT
As discussed in the last paragraph of Note 6, management did
not previously accrue unpaid property management fees because management then
believed that such fees were not probable of payment. In 1994 the partnership
adopted the accrual method of accounting for unpaid property management fees.
Accordingly, the accompanying December 31, 1993, financial statements were
restated.
A summary of the effect of this restatement on the 1993
financial statements is as follows:

NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS
(a) Lease Commitments - The partnership leases the land upon which the
Bremerton and Yakima motels are located under three operating leases with
initial lease terms of 36, 30, and 24 years.
The Bremerton and one of the Yakima land leases provide for
adjustment of the minimum rent ranging from one to three years by a factor based
on changes in the consumer price index.
The remaining Yakima land lease provides for adjustment of the
minimum rent annually by a factor of 5%. This lease requires fixed minimum
payment escalations over the lease term. Generally accepted accounting
principles require the partnership to recognize lease expense on a straight-line
basis over the term of each lease. As a result, lease expense is presently
greater than cash lease payments. Cash lease payments are captioned "lease
expense--current" in the statement of operations. Noncash lease expense is
captioned "lease expense--deferred" in the statement of operations. In the
balance sheet under noncurrent liabilities, "accrued rent under lease
agreements" reflects the accrual of noncash lease expense. This accrued rent
will not begin to be paid until 2004.
Minimum lease payments based on current rents are as follows:

rights to provi e motel services to the general public using a system commonly
known as Super 8 Motels. An initial franchise fee of $15,000 was paid for each
motel and the partnership is committed to pay additional fees equal to 4% of
gross room revenue for the 20 year term of the agreement. The franchise
agreement with Super 8 Motels, Inc. to pay 1% of gross room revenue to the
national advertising fund was terminated December 31, 1995.

NATIONAL NEWS
NATIONAL PRESS ATTENTION CONTINUES
In a recent issue of the Hotel and Motel Management magazine, Super 8
Motels President Robert Weller revealed that the secret of Super 8's repeat
customer business is evidenced in the long-standing VIP Club -- which, with 3.3
million members, accounted for more than one-half of the 1994 room nights.
ADDITIONAL GOOD NEWS
REGARDING MARKET SHARE
A primary focus in the presentations at the Super 8 Winter 1995
Regional Marketing Meetings was a current market share report from D.K.
Shifflet, Inc. Super 8's Vice President of Marketing, Thomas McNulty, shared
the following:
"Super 8 shows the greatest market share increase in the economy
segment, followed by Comfort Inns in second place. Today, Super 8 enjoys
a 7.3% share of the market, compared to 6.4% in 1993, and only 5.6% in
1992.
"Superline posted a 5% increase in call volume in 1995 over 1994 -- up
to 7 million calls. Even more importantly, Superline produced a 20%
increase in reservations made. These 3 million reservations represent
35% of all rooms sold system-wide, second only to Red Roof Inns at 30%.
"Super 8 proudly notes that it is now the economy segment leader in
guest satisfaction, outranking all its competitors in the three major
categories, satisfaction, service, and value.
C.U.C. AGREEMENT PROVES PRODUCTIVE
Investors will recall a brief report in the October 1995 Update, about
Super 8's marketing agreement with C.U.C. International, the leading discount
travel club in the United States. We are advised that as of December 20, 1995,
C.U.C. has enrolled 40,000 new VIP Club members. Further, they have booked
24,000 reservations, representing 34,000 room nights and $1,300,000 in revenue.
All this activity was generated in just six months.
FIRST SUPER 8 HOTEL OPENS IN SAN FRANCISCO
August of 1995 marked the opening of Super 8's first downtown property
with the "Hotel" designation on Geary Street in San Francisco. With 102 rooms
in six stories, the hotel is unlike the chain's traditional roadside inn. The
bright lobby retains much of the original look of its predecessor. The Lombard
Hotel, Exterior and guest room renovations look eight months and included a
custom-made marquee sign.
This new concept of the Super 8 Hotel is designed as a solution to the
needs of the Super 8 customer in major city/downtown locations. Currently the
San Francisco unit is breaking all revenue records. It will, however, lose its
one-of-a-kind status with the opening of a similar property in Ottawa, Canada.
An increase in Super 8's corporate business from 40% to 48% of its guest mix
prompted this move to the city; as a result, negotiations for other hotels are
underway in Atlanta, New York, and Philadelphia.
REGIONAL NEWS
1996 BUSINESS PLANNING
The entire Peninsula Management Northwest team devoted the months of
September, October, and November to the development and approval of a 1996
Business Plan and Budget for each of the 23 motels operated by the Company. The
process entailed extensive input from the property managers, as well as
observations and inspections from Regional Managers, Personnel and Training,
Marketing, and Maintenance departments. The process culminated in a
presentation of the final product at the Managers' Meeting held in early
December at the Corporate Office in Tumwater. Both the Business Plans and 1996
Budgets received official approval by The Peninsula Group's Board of Directors
at its December 20, 1995 meeting.
Illustrative of these 1996 Plans, and of their utility as working
tools, is the following brief outline of their contents:
I. Background and Operational Histories
II. History of Results in Critical Areas for Success
III. Business Condition -- Economic and Competitive Data
IV. Physical Plant Analysis
V. 1996 Revenue Objectives/Plans -- Marketing and Guest Retention
VI. Productivity and Cost Control Plans
Integral to all plans are mechanisms for both monthly, and more
formalized quarterly, reviews of objectives and results, affording management
timely opportunities to make mid-course adjustments.
PENINSULA EMPLOYEE BENEFITS SHINE IN SURVEY
The scope of a recently commissioned independent employee benefits
survey was to compare the benefits offered by The Peninsula Group Incorporated
and affiliates with other hospitality companies similar in size and operations.
Eight companies participated in the study.
The survey results indicate that the benefit package offered by The
Peninsula Group is favorably comparable with ALL eight companies in the areas
of life insurance, health insurance, vacation pay, and exceeded the average
trend in the area of sick pay. Further, most surveyed were just beginning to
research or offer the more specialized 401K and Section 125 plans. Included in
the 1996 plan is similar research on behalf of Peninsula's employee group.

GUEST SECURITY IMPROVED
WITH NEW GUEST ROOM LOCKS
The list of motels with newly installed or soon-to-be installed "Ving"
locks continues to grow and now includes Lacey, SeaTac, Anchorage, Fairbanks,
Juneau, Federal Way, Katchikan, and Yakima. This important improvement in guest
security will be incorporated into all reasonable major motel renovations in
1996. Also, new motels built since the latter part of 1993 (Kelso and
Corvallis) and all scheduled new motel construction will have Ving security
locks for additional guest security and comfort.
NEW DEVELOPMENT '96
In late September, the Board approved the purchase of a new Super 8
Motel site on the North I-5 corridor in Ferndale, Washington. Site plan,
development studies, including soils and environmental assessments and traffic
study, are complete. Construction start is slated for February 1, 1996.
Occurring concurrently to the Ferndale development was the acquisition
of a site on the I-5 corridor south of Portland in Woodburn, Oregon. Crews are
expected to commence work on this highly visible location in May, 1996. Two
additional Oregon sites are in various stages of negotiation for possible
starts late in 1996 or early 1997.
SUPER 8 MOTELS NORTHWEST II
The partnership completed 1995 operations with total revenues of
$3,360,055 compared with total revenues of $3,335,713 in 1994. The partnership
rented 66,537 rooms for a consolidated occupancy of 72.34% This represented a
decrease of 2.48 occupancy points versus 1994. The average daily rate (ADR) of
the properties increased to $49.31 per rented room, for an overall increase in
ADR of $2.27 or 4.83% over 1994.
Bremerton did not have the benefit of a Navy contract until the
beginning of December, 1995. Still, the property rented only 276 fewer rooms in
1995 for a net occupancy decrease of less than one occupancy point,ending the
year at 64.15%. Average daily rate went from $42.20 to $44.20 for a 4.75%
increase. This results in a better than 3% increase in net room sales compared
to 1994.
In Yakima, occupancy dropped from an extremely high 78% in 1994 to just
under 72%, while average daily room rate climbed $1.92 per rented room. The
room rate increase could not offset the drop of eight occupancy points, and the
net result was a drop in net room sales of about 4.5%.
Portland, under the leadership of Peninsula Management Northwest's
Manager of the Year Runner-up Tom Zett, had another very good year averaging
81% occupancy. This was compared to 80% in 1994. However, the average daily
rate went from $53.27 to $55.77 for an increase of over 4.7%. This pushed net
room sales to an all time high of over 1.3 million dollars, an increase of
almost 6% over 1994.
You will find comparative occupancy and room rate charts for the fourth
quarter enclosed, along with unaudited year-end financial statements. The CPA
firm of Moss Adams is currently performing the 1995 year-end audit of the
partnership books. The audited statement will be sent to you along with your
first quarter 1996 statements in the April 30, 1996 newsletter mailing.
Each partner will receive one check in the amount of $25.00 per
partnership unit, which represents your fourth quarter 1995 distribution. This
distribution equals a 10% annualized distribution for the quarter.
Some investors may receive additional distribution checks. Any
additional checks are in an amount that is calculated to bring the total cash
paid per partnership unit to an annualized 10% since the date the unit was
originally purchased (or the date the partnership was formed, whichever
occurred later). This amount varies from unit to unit depending upon the date it
was originally purchased and thus is unique to each unit. As of this
distribution, every unit will have been paid an amount equal to 10% per annum
from the date of formation of the partnership or the date of original purchase
of the unit, whichever occurred later. If you have any questions as to the
amount of this check, you may call the Investor Relations Administrator at
360-943-8000 during normal business hours.
Two items for your calendars: First, you should receive your 1995
income tax information directly from the preparer during the first several days
in March, 1996. As always, they will be mailed not later than the last day of
February, 1996. Should you not receive your information in very early March
1996, please call the Corporate Office at 360-943-8000. You only need to leave
your name, current address and partnership (Northwest II) with the receptionist
and she will forward the information to Investor Relations. Please do not call
for the information prior to the above-noted date; the information is mailed to
you directly from the tax preparer and we do not have the information before
that date. Thank you for your help in this matter.
