                 NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               MARCH 31, 1997
                                 (UNAUDITED)

1.     BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

       The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements have been
       prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
       interim financial information, with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
       Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  In the opinion of the General Partner,
       all adjustments necessary for fair presentation of the results of
       operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, have been
       made to the financial information furnished herein.  For further
       information refer to the combined financial statements and footnotes
       thereto included in the Partnerships' annual report on Form 10-K for the
       year ended December 31, 1996.

       On May 10, 1996, the Operating Partnership and affiliated
       sub-partnerships filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the federal
       bankruptcy laws in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern
       District of Illinois.  This filing excludes Partnership I and
       Partnership II.  Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the deeds to
       the remaining hotels were transferred to the senior lender on September
       26, 1996 in consideration for the cancellation of the senior
       indebtedness (the "Transfer").

       As a result of the Transfer, the Partnerships no longer have a source of
       funds.  A cash reserve is being maintained for payment of the
       Partnerships' obligations and contingencies.


2.     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

       Under the terms of the various Partnership Agreements, the Managing
       General Partner and its affiliates are to provide management, financing
       and other services to Portfolio I, Portfolio II and the Operating
       Partnership in return for certain fees as follows:

       (1)  The Partnership Agreements specify the dollar amount of

              accounting, printing, legal department, data processing and
              travel and communication expenses incurred by affiliates for the
              Managing General Partner for operation of the Partnerships.

3.     LITIGATION
      
       Certain affiliates of the Partnerships, including the Managing General
       Partner and certain officers and directors of such affiliates are
       parties to certain pending legal proceedings as described in Form 10-K
       for the year ended December 31, 1996 filed as of March 31, 1997 and
       certain other proceedings.  The adverse outcome of any one or more legal
       proceedings against any one of the affiliates which provides financial
       support or services to the Partnerships could have a materially adverse
       effect on the present and future operations of the Partnerships.  There
       can be no assurance as to the outcome of any of the legal proceedings.

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

On October 28, 1985, VMS National Hotel Portfolio I and II (the Partnerships)
commenced a private offering of $97,350,000 in Limited Partnership interests
pursuant to their respective Private Placement Memorandums.  A total of 649
units were offered and sold at $150,000 per unit.  Subscribers for the Units
had the option to contribute partially in cash upon subscription with the
remaining purchase price payable in annual installments over a five year period
or on a basis other than the foregoing option, which was acceptable to the
Managing General Partner in its sole discretion.  The Limited Partner selecting
to pay in the remaining purchase price of their units over a five year period
executed and delivered to the Partnerships full recourse notes payable.

VMS National Hotel Partners (the Operating Partnership) originally intended to
purchase 28 hotels from Holiday Inns, Inc. (HII).  Under the terms of the
offering, investors would receive a rebate of a portion of their capital
contribution if fewer than 28 hotels were acquired.  Only 24 hotels were
actually purchased, resulting in a $15,000 per unit rebate to each Limited
Partner.  The $15,000 per unit was payable over a five year period to each
Limited Partner who elected the five year payment option.  The Limited Partners
who elected the all-cash option or who prepaid their notes received the $15,000
per unit rebate upon payment of their purchase price of $150,000 per unit.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As a result of the Transfer in 1996, the Partnerships no longer have a source
of funds.  A cash reserve is being maintained for payment of the Partnerships'
obligations and contingencies.

As shown on the Combined Statements of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents
decreased $177,296 from December 31, 1996 to March 31, 1997.  The decrease is
primarily the result of payments for Partnership obligations.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS - VMS REALTY PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES

There have been no material developments or changes from the Recent
Developments - VMS Realty Partners and Affiliates disclosed in Part I, Item 1
of the Partnerships' report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Operating Partnership owned and
operated fifteen hotels located in eight states throughout the continental
United States.  However, overall revenues and expenses of the Partnerships
decreased in 1997 due to the Transfer of the remaining hotels to the senior
lender on September 26, 1996.  The Operating Partnership had previously owned
and operated 24 Holiday Inn Hotels in eleven states.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Partnership revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 decreased from
the same period in 1996.  The decrease is primarily due to the interest income
received in 1996 from the collection of the notes receivable and temporary
investments.

General Partners fees decreased from the first quarter of 1997 to 1996 due to
the decrease in hotel revenues from the Transfer of the hotels.  These fees
were based on gross revenues from the hotels.
