     RE: MHP II  Acquisition  Corp.  Tender  Offer for Units of  Marriott  Hotel
         Properties II Limited Partnership

     MacKenzie  Patterson Special Fund 2, L.P.  ("MPSF2") is a holder of limited
partnership   interests  ("Units")  in  Marriott  Hotel  Properties  II  Limited
Partnership  (the  "Partnership").  MPSF2,  through  MacKenzie  Patterson,  Inc.
("MPI"),  its  general  partner,  has  published  a Notice to  Unitholders  (the
"Notice") in  opposition to the tender offer for Units dated April 18, 1996 (the
"Offer"),  by MHP II Acquisition  Corp.  ("MHPII") , an affiliate of the general
partner  of the  Partnership.  Each  of  the  general  partner  and  MHPII  is a
subsidiary of Host Marriott Corporation ("Host").

         In the Notice, MPSF2 stated, in part:

     ..."While  Host engaged  American  Appraisal  Associates,  Inc.  ("AAA") to
render its opinion as to the  fairness of the Offer,  Host has  indicated it did
not review the valuation provided by AAA, nor did Host provide its own valuation
of the units.  MPI believes that, as an affiliate of the General  Partner of MHP
II, which has a fiduciary duty to the limited partners,  Host should provide its
own internal valuation of the units and disclose its method of valuation. In the
absence of such  valuation,  Host should render an opinion as to the validity of
the valuation  provided by AAA. Host's failure to provide such  information puts
the limited  partners at a significant  disadvantage in evaluating the Offer. It
seems  inconceivable  that Host,  involved in owning,  financing and operating a
vast  number of  hotels,  and  proposing  to invest in excess of $93  million in
purchasing  MHP II units,  has not  performed  an  analysis  of the value of the
underlying hotels, or has no opinion on such valuation."

     The  statement  that "Host has  indicated  it did not review the  valuation
provided by AAA..." was  intended  primarily to convey that Host  Marriott,  the
parent of the bidder and affiliate

                                        5

     of the general partner of the Partnership, has not provided its analysis of
the  valuation  provided by AAA or stated  whether  the values  were  reasonably
accurate, on the one hand, or inadequate, on the other. As the fiduciary charged
with assuring  that the limited  partners  receive the best  possible  return on
their  investment,  the general partner should,  in MPSF2's  opinion,  determine
whether  it  believes  the value  determined  by the  independent  appraisal  is
accurate and whether the resulting price is reasonable. In addition, on or about
April 23, 1996, C.E. Patterson had separate telephone conversations with each of
Bruce Stemerman and Christopher Nassetta,  the presidents of the general partner
and the MHPII, respectively, in which Mssrs. Stemerman and Nassetta each advised
Mr.  Patterson  that they had no comment on the AAA appraisal and disclaimed any
substantive  analysis  of the  appraisal.  They each  advised Mr.  Patterson  to
address any comments on the appraisal  directly to AAA. Mr.  Patterson  provided
AAA with  detailed  written  comments  questioning  the  appraisal,  which  were
summarized briefly in the notice. When Mr. Patterson contacted AAA to provide it
with his comments,  AAA responded that it would not address questions concerning
its  appraisal  unless and until  instructed  to do so by Marriott.  To date, no
further response has been received by Mr. Patterson from AAA or Marriott.

         For further information, contact C.E. Patterson at 510.631.9100.
