          DESERT SPRINGS MARRIOTT LIMITED PARTNERSHIP AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1. The  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been
prepared by Desert Springs  Marriott Limited  Partnership and subsidiaries  (the
"Partnership")  without  audit.  Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures
normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with generally
accepted  accounting   principles  have  been  condensed  or  omitted  from  the
accompanying  statements.  The  Partnership  believes the  disclosures  made are
adequate  to  make  the  information  presented  not  misleading.  However,  the
condensed  consolidated  financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the  consolidated  financial  statements  and  notes  thereto  included  in  the
Partnership's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1997.
   
In  the  opinion  of  the  Partnership,  the  accompanying  unaudited  condensed
consolidated  financial  statements  reflect all adjustments (which include only
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position
of the  Partnership  as of March 27,  1998,  the results of  operations  for the
twelve  weeks  ended  March 27,  1998 and March 28,  1997 and cash flows for the
twelve  weeks ended March 27, 1998 and March 28, 1997.  Interim  results are not
necessarily  indicative  of fiscal  year  performance  because of  seasonal  and
short-term variations (see Note 3).
    
For financial reporting purposes, net income of the Partnership is allocated 99%
to the Limited  Partners  and 1% to Marriott  Desert  Springs  Corporation  (the
"General  Partner").  Significant  differences  exist between the net income for
financial reporting purposes and the net income for Federal income tax purposes.
These  differences  are due  primarily to the use, for income tax  purposes,  of
accelerated  depreciation  methods,  shorter  depreciable  lives,  no  estimated
salvage values for the assets and  differences in the timing of the  recognition
of rental income.

2. In  connection  with the mortgage  debt  refinancing  in November  1997,  the
General  Partner  received  unrevoked  consents  of limited  partners  approving
certain  amendments to the partnership  agreement.  The amendments,  among other
things,  allowed  the  formation  of  certain  subsidiaries  of the  Partnership
including DS Hotel LLC and Marriott DSM LLC.  The  Partnership  contributed  the
Hotel and its related assets to Marriott DSM LLC, which in turn contributed them
to DS Hotel LLC, a bankruptcy remote subsidiary.  Marriott DSM LLC, a bankruptcy
remote  subsidiary  of the  Partnership  owns 100% interest in DS Hotel LLC. The
Partnership owns 100% interest in Marriott DSM LLC.

3. On November 25, 1997, the Partnership completed a refinancing of its mortgage
debt.  In  connection  with  the  refinancing,  the  Partnership  converted  its
operating  lease with  Marriott  Hotel  Services,  Inc.  ("MHS") to a management
agreement  (the  "Conversion").   Prior  to  the  Conversion,   the  Partnership
recognized  estimated  annual  hotel  rental  income  on a  straight-line  basis
throughout  the year.  The  profits  from the Hotel are  seasonal  and first and
second  quarter  results are generally  higher than the last two quarters of the
year. Lease payments in excess of the income  recognized by the Partnership were
deferred  and,  to the extent not subject to possible  future  repayment  to the
Hotel  tenant,  were  recognized  as income  during the  remainder  of the year.
Pursuant to the terms of the Operating  Lease,  Annual Rental,  as defined,  was
equal to the greater of Basic Rental (80% of Operating  Profit,  as defined) and
Owner's Priority, as defined. Additionally, the Hotel tenant was required to pay
property  taxes,  make  contributions  equal to a percentage of Hotel sales to a
property  improvement  fund (4.5% in 1997 and 5.5% thereafter) and pay rental on
the second golf course.  
   
Subsequent to the Conversion,  the Partnership  records revenues which represent
gross sales  generated  by the Hotel.  Hotel  property-level  costs and expenses
reflect all property-level  costs and expenses.  Prior to the Conversion,  hotel
property-level  costs and expenses and incentive management fee expense were not
components of operating expense. Rather, hotel property-level costs and expenses
was a deduction to arrive at hotel rental and accrued  incentive  management fee
expense was  deducted  from the  additional  lease  payments in excess of rental
income that were  deferred by the  Partnership.  Additionally,  base  management
fees,  though a component in the  calculation  of Operating  Profit prior to the
Conversion, was not a component of the Partnership's operating costs. Subsequent
to the Conversion,  the  Partnership  records base management fees and incentive
management fees as components of Partnership operating costs and expenses.
    
   
On November 20, 1997,  the Emerging  Issues Task Force ("EITF") of the Financial
Accounting  Standards  Board reached a consensus on EITF 97-2,  "Application  of
FASB  Statement No. 94 and APB Opinion No. 16 to Physician  Practice  Management
Entities and Certain Other Entities with Contractual  Management  Arrangements."
EITF 97-2 addresses the  circumstances in which a management  entity may include
the revenues and expenses of a managed entity in its financial statements.
    
   
The statement of operations  of the  Partnership  presented in the Form 10-Q for
the twelve  weeks ended  March 27,  1998 did not  reflect  gross hotel sales and
property-level  operating  expenses  but rather  reflected  house  profit  which
represents  gross  hotel  revenues  less   property-level   operating  expenses,
excluding base and incentive  management  fees,  property  taxes,  insurance and
certain  other  costs,  which were  disclosed  separately  in the  statement  of
operations.  The  Partnership  has concluded that EITF 97-2 should be applied to
the Partnership  beginning  November 25, 1997, the date the Partnership  entered
into  a new  management  agreement,  and  accordingly  the  first  quarter  1998
statement  of  operations  has been  restated  to reflect an  increase  in hotel
revenues and  property-level  expenses of $19.9 million.  The restatement had no
impact on operating profit or net income.

The following are summaries of hotel revenues and  Partnership  operating  costs
and expenses on a comparative  basis,  for the twelve weeks ended March 27, 1998
and March 28, 1997 (in thousands). To enhance comparability,  hotel revenues and
Partnership  operating  costs and  expenses for the twelve weeks ended March 28,
1997 are presented on a "pro forma" basis which assumes the Conversion  occurred
at the beginning of this period.

4.  Pursuant to the terms of the  management  agreement,  MHS earns an incentive
management fee based on Operating  Profit as defined.  For fiscal year 1998, the
Partnership  is  entitled to the first $21.5  million of  Operating  Profit (the
"Owner's Priority").  Thereafter,  MHS will  receive  the next $1.8  million  of
Operating  Profit as an incentive  management  fee and any  operating  profit in
excess of $23.3 million will be divided 75% to the  Partnership  and 25% to MHS.
Any such  payments will be made  annually  after  completion of the audit of the
Partnership's  books.  Pursuant  to  the  terms  of  the  management  agreement,
contributions  to the property  improvement fund in 1998 are 5.5% of gross Hotel
sales, a one percentage point increase over the prior year level.

5. On April 17, 1998, Host Marriott Corporation ("Host Marriott"), the parent of
the General  Partner of the  Partnership,  announced that its Board of Directors
has authorized the company to reorganize its business operations to qualify as a
real estate investment trust ("REIT") to become effective as of January 1, 1999.
As part of the REIT  conversion,  Host Marriott  expects to form a new operating
partnership (the "Operating  Partnership")  and limited partners in certain Host
Marriott  full-service  hotel  partnerships  and joint  ventures,  including the
Partnership,  are  expected  to  be  given  an  opportunity  to  receive,  on  a
tax-deferred basis, Operating Partnership units in the new Operating Partnership
in exchange for their current partnership interest.

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


FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
   
Certain matters discussed herein are forward-looking  statements and as such may
involve  known and unknown  risks,  uncertainties,  and other  factors which may
cause the actual  results,  performance or achievements of the Partnership to be
different  from any future  results,  performance or  achievements  expressed or
implied by such  forward-looking  statements.  Although the Partnership believes
the  expectations  reflected in such  forward-looking  statements are based upon
reasonable  assumptions,  it can give no assurance that its expectations will be
attained.  These  risks  are  detailed  from  time to time in the  Partnership's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The Partnership undertakes
no  obligation  to  publicly  release  the  result  of any  revisions  to  these
forward-looking  statements  that may be made to reflect  any  future  events or
circumstances.
    
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
   
Revenues.  As  discussed  in  Note 3 to  the  Condensed  Consolidated  Financial
Statements,  the  Partnership  converted  its  operating  lease to a  management
agreement in connection with its debt refinancing.  Revenues reflect hotel sales
in 1998.  Revenues  reported  for the twelve  weeks ended March 27, 1998 are not
comparable  to the Hotel  Rentals  reported for the twelve weeks ended March 28,
1997. Prior to the Conversion, the Partnership recognized estimated annual hotel
rental income on a straight-line basis throughout the year. The profits from the
Hotel are seasonal and first and second  quarter  results are  generally  higher
than the last two quarters of the year.  Lease  payments in excess of the income
recognized  by the  Partnership  were deferred and, to the extent not subject to
possible future repayment to the Hotel lessee,  were recognized as income during
the remainder of the year.  Pursuant to the terms of the Operating Lease, Annual
Rental,  as defined,  was equal to the greater of Basic Rental (80% of Operating
Profit, as defined) and Owner's Priority,  as defined.  Additionally,  the Hotel
tenant  was  required  to pay  property  taxes,  make  contributions  equal to a
percentage of Hotel sales to a property  improvement fund (4.5% in 1997 and 5.5%
thereafter) and pay rental on the second golf course.
    
   
Subsequent to the Conversion,  the Partnership  records revenues which represent
gross sales  generated  by the Hotel.  Hotel  property-level  costs and expenses
reflect  all  property-level  costs  and  expenses.  To  enhance  comparability,
revenues  for the twelve  weeks  ended March 28,  1997 are  discussed  on a "pro
forma"  basis which  assumes the  Conversion  occurred at the  beginning of this
period.
    
   
Compared to pro forma results, hotel sales increased $3.2 million, or 9.8%, from
$32.8  million in the first  quarter 1997 to $36.0  million in the first quarter
1998 due to  significant  increases  in rooms  and  food and  beverage  revenue.
REVPAR, or revenue per available room, represents the combination of the average
daily room rate  charged  and the  average  daily  occupancy  achieved  and is a
commonly used indicator of hotel performance (although it is not a measure under
generally accepted  accounting  principles).  For the first quarter 1998, REVPAR
increased  14%  to  $194  due  to  a  12%  increase  in  average  room  rate  to
approximately  $236 while  average  occupancy  remained  stable when compared to
first quarter 1997.  Average room rates  increased by 15% for group business and
9% for transient business. Additionally, group roomnights sold increased by over
3,000  roomnights or 8% over 1997 while transient  roomnights  declined by 2,600
roomnights  or 14% from first  quarter  1997.  The  increase in the higher rated
group roomnights sold more than offset the decline in transient room revenue. As
a  result  of the  increase  in  REVPAR  combined  with  the  increase  in group
roomnights  and group  average  rate,  hotel  room sales  increased  14% or $1.7
million for the first quarter 1998 when compared to the first quarter 1997. Food
and beverage  sales  increased  12% or $1.4  million in first  quarter 1998 when
compared to the first  quarter in 1997 due  primarily  to the  increase in group
business and related increases in banquet sales and audio visual rental revenue.
    
   
Operating Costs and Expenses.  Operating costs and expenses for the twelve weeks
ended March 28, 1997 are  discussed  on a "pro  forma"  basis which  assumes the
Conversion  occurred  at the  beginning  of this  period.  Compared to pro forma
results,  operating costs and expenses increased $1.8 million from $22.6 million
in first  quarter 1997 to $24.4  million in first  quarter 1998 due primarily to
increases in hotel property-level  costs and expenses.  Prior to the Conversion,
hotel  property-level  costs and expenses and incentive  management  fee expense
were not components of operating expense. Rather, hotel property-level costs and
expenses  was a  deduction  to  arrive at hotel  rental  and  accrued  incentive
management fee expense was deducted from the additional lease payments in excess
of rental  income that were  deferred  by the  Partnership.  Additionally,  base
management fees, though a component in the calculation of Operating Profit prior
to the Conversion,  was not a component of the  Partnership's  operating  costs.
Compared  to pro  forma  results,  incentive  management  fees  for the  quarter
increased $56,000,  or 6% from $954,000 in first quarter 1997 to $1.0 million in
first quarter 1998,  as a result of the increase in hotel  operations  discussed
above. Compared to pro forma results, base management fees for the first quarter
1998  increased  $97,000,  or 10% from  $984,000 in first  quarter  1997 to $1.1
million in first quarter 1998 with the increase in hotel sales discussed above.
    
Depreciation.  Depreciation  decreased $284,000, or 14.6%, for the first quarter
1998 when  compared  to the first  quarter  1997 as the  Partnership's  original
10-year equipment was fully depreciated during 1997.

Interest  Expense.  On November  25, 1997 the  Partnership  refinanced  its $160
million  mortgage debt with $182.7  million of debt.  The increase in debt along
with an increase in the weighted  average  interest  rate from 8.2% in the first
twelve weeks of 1997 to 9.8% in the first  twelve  weeks of 1998  resulted in an
increase in interest expense of $1.1 million,  or 30%, from $3.4 million to $4.5
million.

Interest Income and Other.  Interest income and other includes  $73,000 in first
quarter  1998 which  represents  payments  made to the  Partnership  by Marriott
Vacation Club  International  ("MVCI") for the rental of a gallery and marketing
desk in the Hotel's  lobby.  In first quarter  1997,  MVCI rental of $77,000 was
recognized and included in the $6.3 million of Hotel rental income.

Net Income.  Net income  increased $7 million to $7.3  million in first  quarter
1998 as a result of the changes discussed above,  primarily the Conversion,  and
improved property operating results.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

The  Partnership's  financing  needs have  historically  been  funded  primarily
through loan agreements with  independent  financial  institutions.  The General
Partner believes that the Partnership will have sufficient capital resources and
liquidity  to continue  to conduct  its  operations  in the  ordinary  course of
business.

Principal Sources and Uses of Cash

The  Partnership's  principal  source  of  cash is from  Hotel  operations.  Its
principal  uses of cash are to make  debt  service  payments,  fund the  Hotel's
property improvement fund and establish reserves required by the lender.

Cash provided by operating  activities for the twelve weeks ended March 27, 1998
and  March  28,  1997 was $8.5  million  and $5.4  million,  respectively.  Cash
provided by operations  increased  $3.1 million  primarily due to the Conversion
combined  with  improved  Hotel  operations.   Prior  to  the  Conversion,   the
Partnership  recognized  estimated annual hotel rental income on a straight-line
basis  throughout the year. This change combined with an overall  improvement in
hotel  operations  and an increase in  accounts  payable of $2.1  million due to
increased  accrued  interest  liability,  resulted in the  increase in cash from
operations.

Cash used in investing  activities for the twelve weeks ended March 27, 1998 and
March 28, 1997 was $2.1 million and $573,000,  respectively.  The  Partnership's
cash investing  activities  consist  primarily of  contributions to the property
improvement  fund  and  capital  expenditures  for  improvements  at the  Hotel.
Contributions to the property improvement fund were $2 million for first quarter
1998 and $1.5 million for first quarter  1997.  Capital  expenditures  were $1.5
million and $619,000 in first quarter 1998 and first quarter 1997, respectively.

Cash used in financing  activities for the twelve weeks ended March 27, 1998 and
March 28, 1997 was $2.2 million and $5.2 million respectively. The Partnership's
cash financing activities consist primarily of payments of the mortgage debt and
contributions  to the restricted cash reserves.  Additionally,  in first quarter
1997,  the  Partnership  made  $900,000  of loan  repayments  from the  property
improvement  fund on the $1.7 million  rooms  refurbishment  loan from  Marriott
International, Inc.

The General Partner believes that cash contributions to the property improvement
fund will provide  adequate  funds in the  short-term  and long-term to meet the
Hotel's capital needs.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership and the Partnership Hotel are involved in routine litigation and
administrative  proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business,  some of
which are expected to be covered by liability  insurance and which  collectively
are not expected to have a material  adverse  effect on the business,  financial
conditions or results of operations of the Partnership.

On March 16, 1998,  limited partners in several  partnerships  sponsored by Host
Marriott  Corporation ("Host Marriott") filed a lawsuit,  styled Robert M. Haas,
Sr. and Irwin Randolph Joint Tenants, et al. v. Marriott International, Inc., et
al., Case No.  CI-04092,  in the 57th Judicial  District  Court of Bexar County,
Texas against Marriott  International,  Inc.  ("Marriott  International"),  Host
Marriott,  various of their subsidiaries,  J.W. Marriott, Jr., Stephen Rushmore,
and Hospitality Valuation Services, Inc. (collectively,  the "Defendants").  The
lawsuit  relates to the following  limited  partnerships:  Courtyard by Marriott
Limited  Partnership,  Courtyard  by Marriott II Limited  Partnership,  Marriott
Residence   Inn  Limited   Partnership,   Marriott   Residence  Inn  II  Limited
Partnership,  Fairfield  Inn by Marriott  Limited  Partnership,  Desert  Springs
Marriott Limited  Partnership,  and Atlanta Marriott Marquis Limited Partnership
(collectively,  the  "Partnerships").  The plaintiffs allege that the Defendants
conspired to sell hotels to the  Partnerships  for inflated prices and that they
charged the Partnerships  excessive management fees to operate the Partnerships'
hotels.  The  plaintiffs  further allege that the  Defendants  committed  fraud,
breached fiduciary duties, and violated the provisions of various contracts. The
plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages. The Defendants, which do not include
the Partnerships,  believe that there is no truth to the plaintiffs' allegations
and that the  lawsuit  is  totally  devoid of merit.  The  Defendants  intend to
vigorously  defend  against the claims  asserted in the  lawsuit.  Although  the
Partnerships  have not been named as Defendants in the lawsuit,  the partnership
agreements  relating to the  Partnerships  include an indemnity  provision which
requires the Partnerships, under certain circumstances, to indemnify the general
partners against losses, judgments, expenses, and fees.
