                                  TENDER OFFER

      This Amendment No. 10 to the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO,
constituting the final amendment, amends and supplements the Tender Offer
Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
May 18, 2000, as amended (as so amended, the "Schedule TO") in connection with
an offer by CBM I Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the
"Purchaser") and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of CBM Joint Venture LLC
(the "Joint Venture"), a Delaware limited liability company that is a joint
venture among MI CBM Investor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a
wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Marriott International, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("Marriott International"), Host Marriott, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership and Rockledge Hotel Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Rockledge") (through wholly owned subsidiaries), to purchase (the "Purchase
Offer") all outstanding units of limited partnership interest (the "Units") in
Courtyard by Marriott Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), other than Units owned by the Partnership's general partner, for
$134,130 per Unit in cash (or a pro rata portion thereof), or a net amount per
Unit of $133,500 after payment of court-awarded attorneys' fees and expenses,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Offer and
Consent Solicitation dated August 7, 2000, the Supplement thereto dated
September 26, 2000 and the related Proof of Claim, Assignment and Release
(collectively, the "Purchase Offer and Consent Solicitation"). Capitalized terms
used and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in
the Purchase Offer and Consent Solicitation.

ITEMS 6 AND 8.

     The information previously provided in response to these Items 6 and 8 is
hereby amended and supplemented by adding to the end thereof the following:

     The judgement order of the Court approving the Settlement has become Final
(as such term is defined in the Settlement Agreement) and the Purchaser has
given notice to the Claims Administrator that the "Effective Date" under the
Settlement Agreement has occurred. As a result, all of the conditions to the
Purchase Offer and the Merger, as set forth in the Purchase Offer and the
Consent Solicitation, have been satisfied. Pursuant to the Purchase Offer, the
Purchaser has accepted for payment all of the Units validly tendered on or prior
to the Expiration Date and not validly withdrawn according to the terms of the
Purchase Offer. Based on information provided by the Claims Administrator,
approximately 938 Units were validly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date
and not validly withdrawn, representing approximately 82% of the outstanding
Units.

     Immediately following the consummation of the Purchase Offer, Merger Sub
was merged with and into the Partnership pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of
Merger by and among the Joint Venture, Merger Sub and the Partnership. At the
effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding Unit of the
Partnership (other than Units held by the General Partner and the Purchaser) was
converted into the right to receive the same consideration per Unit as will be
paid to Unitholders who tendered their Units in the Purchase Offer.

     On December 8, 2000, Marriott International and Rockledge issued a joint
press release with respect to the foregoing matters. A copy of this joint press
release is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(13) and is incorporated herein by
reference.

          PURSUANT TO SCHEDULE 13E-3.

amended and supplemented to include the following exhibits:
