          MARRIOTT HOTEL PROPERTIES LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARY
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


     1.  The accompanying  condensed consolidated financial statements have been
         prepared  by  Marriott  Hotel  Properties   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 consolidated 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, 1997.

         In the opinion of the Partnership, the accompanying unaudited condensed
         consolidated   financial  statements  reflect  all  adjustments  (which
         include only normal recurring  adjustments) necessary to present fairly
         the financial  position of the Partnership as of March 27, 1998 and the
         results of  operations  and cash flows for the twelve weeks ended March
         27,  1998 and March  28,  1997.  Interim  results  are not  necessarily
         indicative  of  fiscal  year   performance   because  of  seasonal  and
         short-term variations.

         The  Partnership  owns  Marriott's  Orlando  World Center (the "Orlando
         Hotel") and a 50.5% interest in a partnership  owning Marriott's Harbor
         Beach  Resort  (the  "Harbor  Beach   Partnership"),   whose  financial
         statements  are  consolidated   herein.  The  remaining  49.5%  general
         partnership  interest in the Harbor  Beach  Partnership  is reported as
         minority   interest.   All   significant   intercompany   balances  and
         transactions have been eliminated.

         For  financial  reporting  purposes,  net profits and net losses of the
         Partnership  are  allocated  99% to the limited  partners and 1% to the
         general partner.  Significant differences exist between the net profits
         and net losses for financial reporting purposes and the net profits and
         net losses reported for Federal income tax purposes.  These differences
         are due primarily to the use, for income tax purposes,  of  accelerated
         depreciation   methods,   shorter  depreciable  lives  of  the  assets,
         differences in the timing of the  recognition of management fee expense
         and the deduction of certain costs incurred during  construction  which
         have  been  capitalized  in  the  accompanying  condensed  consolidated
         financial statements.

     2.  Certain  reclassifications  were  made to the prior  quarter  financial
         statements to conform to the current quarter presentation.

     3.  Hotel revenues  represent house profit from the Orlando Hotel since the
         Partnership has delegated  substantially all of the operating decisions
         related  to the  generation  of house  profit of the  Orlando  Hotel to
         Marriott  International,  Inc. (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,

     5. On April 15, 1998, the Partnership  successfully completed the financing
        for the expansion of the Orlando Hotel (the "Construction  Loan"). The
        lender is obligated to provide up to $88 million to fund costs related
        to the construction of a  500-room  tower, new parking garage, expansion
        of the existing  JW's Steakhouse restaurant, redesign of the existing
        golf course and  constructing 15,000 square feet of additional meeting 
        space. During the construction period, the Partnership is required to
        make interest only payments at the fixed interest rate of 7.48% with 
        such interest payments funded by the Construction  Loan. Upon completion
        of the expansion, the Partnership will be required to pay principal and 
        interest at the fixed interest rate of 7.48% amortized over the 
        remaining term of the loan. The loan matures on January 1, 2008.

    6.   On April 17, 1998, Host Marriott Corporation ("Host Marriott"), parent
         company of the General Partner of the Partnership, announced that its
         Board of Directors has authorized the company to reorganize its
         business operations to qualify as a real estate investment trust 
         ("REIT") to become effective as of January 1, 1999. As part of the REIT
         conversion, Host Marriott expects to form a new operating  partnership
         (the "Operating Partnership") and limited partners in certain Host
         Marriott full-service hotel partnerships and joint ventures, including
         the Partnership, are expected to be given an opportunity to receive, on
         a tax-deferred basis, Operating Partnership units in the new Operating
         Partnership in exchange for their current partnership interest.

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


     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.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The chart below summarizes REVPAR for first quarter 1997 and 1998:

                          --------------    ----------      -------------
     <S>                   <C>            <C>                    <C>
     Orlando World Center  $   149        $     146              1%
     Harbor Beach          $   205        $     197              4%

     Combined Average      $   166        $     161              3%
</TABLE>
     Total  consolidated  Partnership  revenues for first quarter 1998 increased
     slightly to $27.6 million when compared to the same period in 1997 due to 
     strong operating  results at the Orlando World Center and the Harbor Beach 
     Hotel (the "Hotels"). REVPAR, or revenue per available room, represents the
     combination of the average daily room rate charged and the average daily
     occupancy achieved and is a commonly used indicator of hotel performance 
     (although it is not a GAAP, or generally accepted accounting principles,
     measure of revenue).  The combined average REVPAR for the twelve weeks 
     ended March 27, 1998 improved 3%, to $166, over the comparable period in
     1997 due to a 6% increase in combined average room rate to $193 offset by a
     three percentage point decrease in combined average occupancy to 86%.

     Hotel Revenues.  For the twelve weeks ended March 27, 1998,  hotel revenues
     remained  stable at $18.2 million when compared to the same period in 1997.
     First quarter 1998 REVPAR at the Orlando Hotel increased  slightly over the
     same period in 1997 from $146 to $149 due to a 4% increase in average  room
     rate to $171 offset by a two percentage point decrease in occupancy to 87%.
     Marketing efforts at the Orlando Hotel are focused on attracting short-term
     group demand,  as well as leisure  transient  demand for the summer months.
     Demand is expected to remain strong in the leisure transient segment.

     Rental  Income.  For the twelve weeks ended March 27, 1998,  rental  income
     from the  Harbor  Beach  Hotel  increased  slightly  to $9.4  million  when
     compared  to the same  period  in  1997.  REVPAR  for  first  quarter  1998
     increased  4% over the same  period in 1997 to $205 due to a 9% increase in
     average  room rate to $247 offset by a four  percentage  point  decrease in
     average occupancy to 83%.

     Operating  costs and expenses.  Indirect hotel operating costs and expenses
     increased 3% to $8.6 million for the twelve weeks ended March 27, 1998 when
     compared to the same period in 1997. The principal  reason for the increase
     in this category is discussed below:

     Depreciation and amortization.  Depreciation and amortization  increased 7%
     to $2.4 million for first  quarter  1998.  The increase is primarily due to
     the completion of the rooms renovation  project at the Orlando Hotel during
     fourth quarter 1997.

     Operating  profit.  Operating profit  decreased  slightly to $19 million in
     first quarter 1998 when compared to the same period in 1997.

     Interest  expense.  Consolidated  interest  expense for first  quarter 1998
     decreased 6% to $4.7 million due to the  refinancing  of the Orlando  World
     Center's mortgage debt at a lower interest rate in 1997.

     Minority interest in income.  Based upon its 50.5% ownership interest,  the
     Partnership  controls the Harbor Beach  Partnership,  and as a result,  the
     condensed  consolidated financial statements of the Partnership include the
     accounts  of the Harbor  Beach  Partnership.  Minority  interest  in income
     represents  the net income from the Harbor Beach  Partnership  allocable to
     the co-general  partner of that  Partnership.  Minority  interest in income
     decreased  from $2.8 million in first quarter 1997 to $2.7 million in first
     quarter  1998  primarily  due to a slight  decrease  in net income from the
     Harbor Beach Partnership due to an increase in depreciation expense.

     Net income.  For first quarter 1998,  net income  increased 2% to $11.7
     million  when  compared  to the same  period  in 1997.  This  increase  was
     primarily due to the decrease in interest expense, as discussed above.

     CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

     The  Partnership's  financing needs have  historically  been funded through
     loan  agreements with  independent  financial  institutions,  Host Marriott
     Corporation ("Host Marriott") and its affiliates or Marriott International,
     Inc. (the "Manager") and its affiliates.  The general partner believes that
     the  Partnership  will have sufficient  capital  resources and liquidity to
     continue to conduct its business in the ordinary course.


<PAGE>


     Principal Sources and Uses of Cash

     The  Partnership's  principal  source  of  cash  is  from  operations.  Its
     principal  uses of cash are to fund the property  improvement  funds of the
     Hotels,  pay the required  principal  amortization of the mortgage debt and
     other debt incurred to fund costs of the capital improvements at the Hotels
     and pay cash distributions to the partners.

     Total  consolidated  cash provided by operations for the twelve weeks ended
     March 27, 1998 and March 28,  1997,  was $10.2  million and $11.1  million,
     respectively.  The  variance  was  primarily  due  to an  increase  in  the
     receivable from the Manager when compared to first quarter 1997.

     For the twelve weeks ended March 27, 1998 and March 28, 1997,  cash used in
     investing  activities  was $2.1  million  and $2.7  million,  respectively,
     consisting of additions to property and equipment and cash  contributed  to
     the property and improvement funds of the Hotels.

     For the twelve weeks ended March 27, 1998 and March 28, 1997,  cash used in
     financing  activities  was $1.4  million  and $0.4  million,  respectively,
     consisting of principal repayments on the mortgage debt and payments to the
     Manager and affiliates on the rooms renovation loans for the Hotels.

     SEASONALITY

     Demand,  and thus  occupancy  and  room  rates,  is  affected  by  normally
     recurring seasonal patterns. Demand tends to be higher during the months of
     November  through  April  than  during  the  remainder  of the  year.  This
     seasonality  tends to affect the  results  of  operations,  increasing  the
     revenue  and  rental  income  during  these  months.   In  addition,   this
     seasonality may also increase the liquidity of the Partnership during these
     months.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



     ITEM 1.        LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     Neither  the  Partnerships  nor the  Hotels  are  presently  subject to any
     material  litigation  nor,  to  the  General  Partner's  knowledge,  is any

     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 condition or results of
     operations of the Partnership.
