Dear Limited Partner:
Since the December filing of the preliminary Consent Solicitation/Prospectus
(the "S-4") with the Securities and Exchange Commission which proposed the
consolidation of six limited partnerships into a publicly traded real estate
investment trust ("REIT"), we have been working to resolve various open issues
concerning the proposed consolidation.
Not surprisingly, our announcement of the potential formation of the largest
hotel REIT focused on the moderate price and extended stay segments of the
marketplace generated interest from some existing REIT's who are active in these
segments. As a result, since January 1998, we have had preliminary discussions
with some of these other companies. Although no agreements have yet been
reached, we continue to pursue the possibility of a potential transaction
involving the partnerships' assets or a merger of the partnerships with an
existing publicly traded company.
The General Partner has retained Merrill Lynch to advise the partnerships with
respect to the partnerships' strategic alternatives, including the original
consolidation plan and other available alternatives. Over the next sixty days,
we intend to continue to explore these alternatives and determine which path to
pursue, obviously subject to appropriate partner approval.
Please contact our Partnership Investor Relations Department at (301) 380-2070,
if you have additional questions.
Sincerely,
/s/ Bruce F. Stemerman
Bruce F. Stemerman
President
