                              Notice to Unitholders
                                       of
                MARRIOTT HOTEL PROPERTIES II LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                                      from
                            MacKENZIE PATTERSON, INC.

         By letter  dated May 15,  1996,  the initial  Expiration  Date,  MHP II
Acquisition Corp. (the "Purchaser"), notified you that it has extended its Offer
to purchase all the  outstanding  units of Marriott Hotel  Properties II Limited
Partnership  through  June 13,  1996 and  retains  the right to extend the Offer
indefinitely  thereafter.  MPI continues to believe the proposed  transaction is
neither in the best  interests of those  partners who might tender nor those who
choose not to tender.  Two very important items of information were not included
in the Purchaser's May 15 letter:

               1.   Although the Purchaser  noted,  as required under SEC rules,
                    that it had received tenders of a total of 220.5 Units as of
                    May 14, it did not add that this total is 152 Units short of
                    the required  minimum it  established  as a condition to the
                    Offer. Unless a total of at least 373 Units are tendered and
                    not withdrawn as of the Expiration  Date, the Minimum Tender
                    Condition  will  not be  satisfied.  The  Purchaser  has not
                    provided  any  information  as to the  status  of the  other
                    principal  condition,  the Unitholder Consent Condition.  No
                    Unitholder will be able to determine  whether tendered Units
                    will in fact be accepted, and no Units will be paid for by 
                    the Purchaser,  until after June 13, or until a later date 
                    if the Offer is further extended.

               2.   The  Purchaser's  letter did not remind the  Unitholders  of
                    their withdrawal rights.  Although not prominently placed in
                    the  original  Offer  document,  the  Offer  is  subject  to
                    withdrawal  rights which are mandatory under the SEC's rules
                    governing  tender  offers.  As  stated  on  page  39 of  the
                    original Offer, Unitholders have the absolute right
                    to withdraw any Units previously  tendered at any time on or
                    prior to the  Expiration  Date.   Enclosed  with  this  
                    notice  is  a Withdrawal of Tendered Units form which
                    can be used by any  Unitholder  who has  tendered  Units and
                    wishes to withdraw them.

Legal Actions to Stop the Offer

         As the Purchaser  disclosed in its letter extending the Offer, a number
of  lawsuits  have been  filed by  different  Unitholders  seeking to enjoin the
Offer,   alleging  breach  of  fiduciary  duties  and  seeking  damages  to  the
Unitholders  as a result  of the  Offer.  As we noted in our prior  notice,  our
affiliate,  MacKenzie  Patterson  Special  Fund  2,  L.P.,  a  Unitholder,  is a
plaintiff in one of these  actions.  We continue to believe  these  actions have
substantial merit and we intend to prosecute our affiliate's action vigorously.

Valuation of the Units

         In our first notice, we stated, in part:

     ..."While  Host engaged  American  Appraisal  Associates,  Inc.  ("AAA") to
render its

                                                       


<PAGE>



         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."

         By the  underlined  statement we intended to convey that Host Marriott,
the parent of the bidder and the  general  partner of the  Partnership,  has not
provided  Unitholders  with 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.  In  addition,  on or about  April  23,  1996,  C.E.
Patterson,   a  principal  of  MacKenzie   Patterson,   Inc.,  had  a  telephone
conversation  with Bruce Stemerman and Christopher  Nassetta,  the presidents of
the general partner and the Purchaser, respectively, in which he sought to raise
several  substantive  objections  to the AAA  appraisal.  Mssrs.  Stemerman  and
Nassetta advised Mr. Patterson that they had no comment on the AAA appraisal and
disclaimed  any  substantive  analysis of the  appraisal.  They also advised Mr.
Patterson  to  address  any  comments  on the  appraisal  directly  to AAA.  Mr.
Patterson  then  sent  AAA  detailed  written  comments   questioning   specific
assumptions  and  conclusions  included  in the  appraisal,  some of which  were
summarized  briefly in our prior  notice.  When Mr.  Patterson  contacted AAA to
discuss  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 concerning his objections to the appraisal.

Withdrawal of Units

         Any  Unitholder  who has tendered  Units to the  Purchaser can withdraw
tendered Units at any time on or prior to the Expiration  Date  (currently  June
13, 1996) by sending the Depositary, GEMISYS, Inc., written notice of withdrawal
(which  may be by  telegraphic  or  facsimile  transmission  as well as by mail)
stating  the  name of the  tendering  Unitholder,  the  number  of  Units  to be
withdrawn,  and the name of the  registered  Unitholder  if  different  from the
tendering Unitholder. The attached Withdrawal of Tendered Units form may be used
for this purpose and the address and  telephone  numbers of the  Depositary  are
included on the form for your convenience. For further information on withdrawal
of tendered  units,  Marriott  MHP Two  Corporation  Investor  Relations  can be
reached at (301) 380-2070.
