                                  TENDER OFFER

     This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the "Schedule TO") relates to
an offer by CBM II 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 between MI CBM Investor LLC ("MI Investor"), a Delaware limited
liability company and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Marriott
International, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Marriott International"), 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 in Courtyard by Marriott II Limited
Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership (the "Partnership") other than units
owned by the general partner, at $147,959 per unit (or a pro rata portion
thereof) in cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Purchase Offer and Consent Solicitation dated July ___, 2000 and the related
Proof of Claim, Assignment and Release, copies of which are attached hereto as
Exhibits (a) (1) and (a) (2), respectively (which, as amended or supplemented
from time to time, are collectively herein referred to as the "Purchase Offer
and Consent Solicitation"). The Purchase Offer and the consent solicitation (as
described below) are being made pursuant to the terms of a settlement agreement
relating to a class action lawsuit brought against the general partner of the
Partnership and various other entities. In the Merger, (1) each outstanding unit
that has not been tendered in the Purchase Offer (other than units held by the
general partner, the Purchaser and holders who elect to opt-out of the
Settlement) will be converted into the right to receive $147,959 per unit (or
pro rata amount thereof) in cash, and (2) each outstanding unit (or partial
unit) held by a holder who elects to opt-out of the Settlement (as defined in
the Purchase Offer and Consent Solicitation) will be converted into the right to
receive a cash amount equal to the appraised value of such unit (or a pro rata
portion thereof), not including any amount representing the value of the claims
asserted in the class action litigation and reduced by any amount owed by the
holder on the original purchase price of such unit. If the court approves legal
fees and expenses of approximately $29,000 per unit to counsel to the class
action plaintiffs in the Milkes Litigation (as defined in the Purchase Offer and
Consent Solicitation), the net amount that each holder that is a class member
will receive is approximately $119,000 per unit (or a pro rata portion thereof)
(the "Net Settlement Amount"). The Net Settlement Amount to be received by any
holder in the Purchase Offer or the Merger (as defined below) will be reduced by
any amount owed by the holder on the original purchase price of such unit.

     The Purchase Offer and Consent Solicitation also relates to the
solicitation by the general partner of the Partnership of consents to a merger
of a subsidiary of the Purchaser with and into the Partnership (the "Merger")
and to certain amendments to the Partnership's Partnership Agreement.
