                                  (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, 1998 and 1997, 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,
     1997.

     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 this
           fee.  The various Partnerships are obligated to incur in the
           aggregate, $50,000 per year of salary fees in the future.

2.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)

     (2)  These fees represent reimbursement for partnership 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, 1997 filed as of March 31, 1998 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


The following discussion in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" contain certain forward-looking statements 
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 which
reflect management's current views with respect to future events and financial
performance.  Such forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainty.

On October 28, 1985, VMS National Hotel Portfolio I and II (the Partnerships)
commenced a private offering of $97,350,000 ("Offering") 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), with proceeds of the
Offering and Debt borrowing, purchased 24 hotels from Holiday Inns, Inc.

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 excluded
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 related
indebtedness (the "Transfer").

In the short term, the Partnerships will continue to maintain a cash reserve for
the payment of the remaining Partnerships' obligations and contingent
liabilities.  In the long term, the Partnerships will wind-up their affairs and
will distribute any remaining Partnerships' funds to their Limited Partners
after paying all Partnerships' expenses and the Partnerships will be dissolved
at that time. It is anticipated that the Partnerships will be dissolved sometime
within the next two years.

In the year 2000, many existing computer programs that use only two digits
(rather than four) to identify a year in the date field could fail or create
erroneous results if not corrected.  This computer program flaw is expected to
affect virtually all companies and organizations.  The Partnerships cannot
quantify the potential costs and uncertainties associated with this computer
program flaw at this time, but does not anticipate that the effect of this
computer program flaw on the operations of the Partnerships' will be
significant.  However, the Partnerships may be required to spend time and
monetary resources addressing any necessary computer program changes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Partnership revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998 decreased by
$3,699 from the same period in 1997.  The decrease is due in total to the 
reduction in interest income attributed to

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

the reduction in the Partnership's cash and cash equivalents.

Partnership expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 decreased by
$11,536 from the same period in 1997.  The decrease is due to the reduction in  
professional, consulting and other fees due to the reduction in the
Partnerships' activities which is the result of the Transfer.

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 $75,024 from December 31, 1997 to March 31, 1998.  The decrease is
primarily the result of payments for Partnership obligations.

In the short term, the Partnerships will continue to maintain a cash reserve for
the payment of the remaining Partnerships' obligations and contingent
liabilities.  In the long term, the Partnerships will wind-up their affairs and
will distribute any remaining Partnership' funds to their Limited Partners      
after paying all Partnerships' expenses and the Partnerships will be dissolved
at that time.  It is anticipated that the Partnerships will be dissolved
sometime within the next two years.
