                MARRIOTT HOTEL PROPERTIES II LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


     1. The accompanying  condensed  financial  statements have been prepared by
Marriott Hotel  Properties II Limited  Partnership (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 financial statements should be
read in  conjunction  with the  Partnership's  financial  statements  and  notes
thereto  included  in the  Partnership's  Form 10-K for the  fiscal  year  ended
December 31, 1997. In the opinion of the Partnership, the accompanying condensed
unaudited  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, and the results of operations 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.

     For  financial  reporting  purposes,  net  income  of  the  Partnership  is
allocated 99% to the limited partners and 1% to the General Partner. Significant
differences  exist between the net income for financial  reporting  purposes and
the net income reported for Federal income tax purposes.  These  differences are
due primarily to the use, for income tax purposes,  of accelerated  depreciation
methods  and  shorter  depreciable  lives of the assets and  differences  in the
timing of recognition of incentive management fee expense.

     2. The Partnership  owns the New Orleans,  San Antonio  Rivercenter and San
Ramon Marriott Hotels (the "Hotels").  In addition,  the Partnership  owns a 50%
limited  partnership   interest  in  the  Santa  Clara  Marriott  Hotel  Limited
Partnership (the "Santa Clara  Partnership") which owns the Santa Clara Marriott
Hotel (the "Santa Clara Hotel"). The sole general partner of the Partnership and
the Santa Clara  Partnership,  with a 1% interest in each,  is Marriott  MHP Two
Corporation (the "General Partner"), a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Host Marriott
Corporation  ("Host  Marriott").  The  remaining 49% interest in the Santa Clara
Partnership is owned by HMH Properties,  Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Host
Marriott.  The Partnership's income from the Santa Clara Partnership is reported
as Equity in Income of the Santa  Clara  Partnership.  In  arriving at Equity in
Income from the Santa Clara  Partnership,  the  Partnership is allocated 100% of
the interest  expense  related to the debt  incurred to purchase the Santa Clara
Partnership  interest.  Summarized  financial  information  for the Santa  Clara
Partnership is presented in Note 5.

     3.  Certain  reclassifications  were  made  to  the  prior  year  financial
statements to conform to the 1998 presentation.

     4. Hotel revenues represent house profit of the Partnership's  Hotels since
the  Partnership  has delegated  substantially  all of the  operating  decisions
related  to the  generation  of house  profit of the  Hotels to  Marriott  Hotel
Services,  Inc. (the "Manager").  House profit reflects hotel operating  results
which flow to the Partnership as property owner and represents gross hotel sales
less property-level expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization,  base and
incentive  management fees, property taxes,  ground rent,  insurance and certain
other  costs,  which are  disclosed  separately  in the  condensed  statement of
operations.

     6. On April 17, 1998, Host Marriott,  parent company 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 within the
meaning of the  Private  Litigation  Reform Act of 1995 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.  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.  Partnership  revenues for the first quarter of 1998 decreased 1%
to $19.3 million compared to $19.5 million in the first quarter of 1997 due to a
significant  decrease in revenues at the New Orleans Hotel.  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 GAAP, or generally accepted
accounting principles, measure of revenue). REVPAR increased 6% as a result of a
10% increase in the combined average room rate to  approximately  $154 partially
offset by a 3.0 percentage point decrease in combined  average  occupancy to the
low-80's.

     The following chart summarizes  REVPAR for each  Partnership  Hotel for the
twelve weeks ended March 27, 1998 and March 28, 1997 and the  percentage  change
from the prior year:

San Antonio                           $  137                8%               $   126               6%
New Orleans                           $  107               (8%)              $   117              15%

Santa Clara                           $  140               18%               $   119              27%

Combined Average                      $  123                6%               $   116              12%
</TABLE>

     Revenues at the New Orleans  Marriott  Hotel  decreased 17%, or $1,595,000,
for the first quarter when compared to the same period in 1997.  The decrease is
primarily  due to a 9%, or $995,000,  decrease in room  revenues  coupled with a
13%, or  $202,000,  decline in food and  beverage  revenues and a 6% increase in
other  operating  expenses.  Room  revenues  decreased  due to an 8% decrease in
REVPAR resulting from an 8.4 percentage  point decrease in average  occupancy to
the  low-70's  partially  offset by a 3% increase  in the  average  room rate to
approximately  $149. Both the drop in average occupancy and decrease in food and
beverage  revenues were primarily due to non-recurring  sales generated by Super
Bowl XXXI  which  took place in New  Orleans  during the first  quarter of 1997.
Occupancy was strong due to heavy demand before, during and after the Super Bowl
and the Hotel's food and beverage outlets especially  benefited from this higher
volume. Other
                                        9

<PAGE>
operating expenses increased primarily due to increased advertising expenses and
legal costs  incurred to appeal an increased real estate tax  assessment.  In an
effort to replace lost roomnights due to the major conventions rotating to other
cities in 1998,  Hotel  management has targeted small groups of 50 rooms or less
which  has  enabled  them to  increase  the  average  room  rate.  The lobby and
restaurant were renovated  recently at an approximate  cost of $2.1 million and,
as previously  discussed,  the total rooms  refurbishment  of all guest rooms is
scheduled to be completed in early summer.

     The  Marriott  Rivercenter  in San Antonio  reported  an 11%, or  $921,000,
increase in first  quarter  revenues  compared to the same period in 1997.  This
increase is due to a 9%, or $762,000,  increase in room revenues.  Room revenues
increased  due to an 8% increase in REVPAR  resulting  from a 6% increase in the
average room rate to  approximately  $153  combined  with 2.0  percentage  point
increase in average  occupancy  to the  high-80's.  The increase in average room
rate is primarily  due to a slight shift in customer mix from group  business to
transient  business.  In addition,  Hotel  management  has reduced the number of
special corporate accounts,  replacing this business with higher rated transient
business.  The Hotel is planning a major renovation of its ballroom this year at
an estimated cost of $3.5 million.

     Revenues at the San Ramon Marriott Hotel increased 33%, or $485,000, during
the first  quarter  of 1998 when  compared  to the first  quarter  of 1997.  The
increase is due to a 30%, or $613,000,  increase in room revenues. Room revenues
increased due to a  significant  increase in REVPAR.  REVPAR  increased 25% when
compared  to 1997  results due to a 23%  increase  in the  average  room rate to
approximately  $132 combined  with a 1.3  percentage  point  increase in average
occupancy to the low-80's. The increase in the average room rate is due to Hotel
management's  continued  success  in  increasing  the  corporate  rate.  Hotel's
management  anticipates  average  occupancy  may  decline  slightly  during  the
remainder of 1998, but has instituted aggressive cost containment  strategies to
counter the softened demand.

     The Santa Clara Marriott  Hotel reported a 33%, or $1,626,000,  increase in
first  quarter  1998  revenues  when  compared to the same  period in 1997.  The
increase is primarily  due to a 19%, or  $1,103,000,  increase in room  revenues
coupled with a 67%, or $490,000,  increase in food and beverage  revenues.  Room
revenues  increased due to a 18% increase in REVPAR.  REVPAR  increased due to a
21% increase in the average room rate to approximately $175, partially offset by
a 2.3  percentage  point  decrease in average  occupancy  to the  low-80's.  The
increase in the average room rate is due to an increase in the corporate rate in
conjunction  with an overall  increase in corporate and group  demand.  Food and
beverage revenues increased primarily due to heavier utilization of the catering
facilities by existing groups and the implementation of a new service charge for
meeting room rental.  Hotel  management is planning to offset  softened  average
occupancy in the Santa Clara market by initiating  special  corporate  rates and
pursuing room contracts with local technology companies.

     Operating  Costs and Expenses.  In first quarter 1998,  operating costs and
expenses  increased  $112,000 to $9.4  million.  As a  percentage  of  revenues,
operating  costs and  expenses  represented  49% and 48% of  revenues  for first
quarter 1998 and first quarter 1997, respectively.

     Operating  Profit.  In  first  quarter  1998,  operating  profit  decreased
$302,000 to $9.9  million  primarily  due to changes in revenues  and  operating
costs and expenses discussed above. As a percentage of total revenues, operating
profit  represented  51% and 52% of revenues  for first  quarter  1998 and first
quarter 1997, respectively.


                                                 10

<PAGE>
     Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased slightly for the first quarter
of 1998  when  compared  to the same  period  in 1997  due to a lower  principal
balance  on the  Partnership's  Mortgage  Debt  as a  result  of  the  principal
amortization that began in the fourth quarter of 1997.

     Equity in Income of Santa Clara Partnership.  In first quarter 1998, equity
in income of the Santa Clara  Partnership  increased  $632,000  to $1.1  million
primarily due to improved  hotel  operations  at the Santa Clara Hotel  combined
with a slight decrease in interest expense on the Santa Clara Mortgage Debt.

     Net Income.  In first quarter 1998, net income  increased  $336,000 to $6.8
million,  or 35% of revenues,  from $6.5 million,  or 33% of revenues,  in first
quarter  1997  primarily  due to an  increase in equity in income of Santa Clara
Partnership, partially offset by a decrease in operating profit.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

     The  Partnership's  financing needs have  historically  been funded 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.

     Mortgage Debt The Partnership's  mortgage debt consists of a $222.5 million
nonrecourse  mortgage loan (the  "Mortgage  Debt") which  accrues  interest at a
fixed rate of 8.22%.  Payments of interest only were  required  during the first
loan year (October 1996 through September 1997) and then principal  amortization
based on a 20-year  amortization  schedule began with the second loan year. This
principal  amortization  is expected to improve the  financial  condition of the
Partnership by reducing the Partnership's  long-term  indebtedness.  The General
Partner expects cash flows from the Partnership Hotels and the Santa Clara Hotel
will be sufficient to provide for the Partnership's debt service.

     Principal Sources and Uses of Cash The  Partnership's  principal sources of
cash are cash  from  operations  and cash  distributions  from the  Santa  Clara
Partnership.  Its  principal  uses  of  cash  are to  pay  debt  service  on the
Partnership's  Mortgage  Debt,  to fund the  property  improvement  funds of the
Hotels,  to  establish  reserves  required  by  the  lender  and  to  make  cash
distributions to the partners.  Additionally,  in 1997, the Partnership utilized
cash to pay financing  costs incurred in connection  with the refinancing of the
Partnership's Mortgage Debt and the Santa Clara Partnership's Mortgage Debt.

     Total cash  provided  by  operating  activities  was $5.5  million and $5.9
million  for the  twelve  weeks  ended  March  27,  1998  and  March  28,  1997,
respectively.  The decrease was due to a change in operating  accounts partially
offset by an increase in net income.

     Cash used in investing activities increased to $3.1 million for the quarter
ended March 27, 1998 from $1.8  million  for the quarter  ended March 28,  1997,
primarily due to an increase in property and equipment  expenditures  at the New
Orleans  Hotel  associated  with the  refurbishment  of all of the guest  rooms.
Contributions to the property  improvement funds of the Hotels were $2.1 million
and $1.8  million for the twelve  weeks ended March 27, 1998 and March 28, 1997,
respectively.


                                        11
<PAGE>
     Cash  provided by  financing  activities  was $340,000 for the twelve weeks
ended March 27, 1998,  while cash used in financing  activities  was $34,000 for
the twelve weeks March 28, 1997. The change in financing activities is primarily
due to a net increase in the restricted  lender  reserves,  partially  offset by
cash utilized to make principal payments on the Partnership's mortgage debt. The
change in the reserve  accounts  includes  $1.7  million of capital  expenditure
reimbursements reduced by $194,000 of interest earned on the lender reserves.

     The  General  Partner  believes  that cash from  Hotel  operations  and the
reserves  established in conjunction  with the refinancing will continue to meet
the  short and  long-term  operational  and  capital  needs of the  Partnership.
Including the final 1997  distribution  made in April 1998 of $9,864 per limited
partner unit, the Partnership  distributed $26,621 per limited partner unit from
1997  operating  cash flow.  This  represents a 26.6% annual  return on invested
capital.  In addition,  in May 1998, the Partnership made a cash distribution of
$5,000 per limited  partner unit from first  quarter 1998  operating  cash flow.
Prospectively,  the Partnership expects to increase distribution  frequency from
its historic bi-annual distributions if operating results and forecasts indicate
it is warranted.

     The  Partnership  is required  to  maintain  the Hotels and the Santa Clara
Hotel in good  condition.  Under  each of the  Partnership  Hotels and the Santa
Clara Hotel  management  agreements,  the Partnership is required to make annual
contributions  to the  property  improvement  funds  which  provide  funding for
replacement of furniture,  fixtures and equipment.  The General Partner believes
the  property  improvement  funds,  as  adjusted  in the case of the New Orleans
Hotel, and the capital reserves established in conjunction with the refinancing,
will be adequate for the future  capital  repairs and  replacement  needs of the
Hotels and the Santa Clara Hotel. As previously reported, a 2% increase to 7% in
the contribution  percentage for the New Orleans Marriott Hotel was made in 1997
and  will be made in 1998 to allow  for  adequate  funding  of the  total  rooms
refurbishment  of the New Orleans Hotel's guest rooms.  This project is underway
and will encompass the  replacement of the  carpeting,  bedspreads,  upholstery,
drapes and other  similar items and also the  dressers,  chairs,  beds and other
furniture.  The project is  scheduled  to be completed in July 1998 at a cost of
approximately $13.0 million.

                           PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     The  Partnership  and  the  Partnership  Hotels  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 condition or results of operations of the Partnership.

     On April 23, 1996,  MacKenzie  Patterson  Special Fund 2, L.P.  ("MacKenzie
Patterson"), a limited partner of the Partnership,  filed a class-action lawsuit
in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County,  Maryland,  against the Partnership,
as a  nominal  defendant,  MHPII  Acquisition  Corp.  ("MHPII  Acquisition"),  a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Host Marriott Corporation, Host Marriott Corporation,
the General Partner and the directors of the General  Partner,  alleging,  among
other  things,  that the  defendants  had  violated  their  fiduciary  duties in
connection  with  MHPII   Acquisition's   tender  offer.  The  complaint  sought
certification  as a class-action,  to enjoin the tender offer and its associated
consent solicitation, and damages.  Subsequently,  MacKenzie Patterson dismissed


                                        12
<PAGE>
the Montgomery  County action and refiled in Delaware State Chancery  Court.  In
separate lawsuits, filed on April 24, 1996, in Delaware State Chancery Court and
on May 10, 1996, in the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County,  Florida, two other
limited  partners of the Partnership  sought similar relief.  The Chancery Court
consolidated  the two Delaware  lawsuits and on June 12, 1996,  entered an order
denying the Delaware  plaintiff's  motion to enjoin the tender offer and consent
solicitation.  The defendants moved to dismiss this  consolidated  action and to
stay discovery.  While the defendants' motion to dismiss was pending,  MacKenzie
Patterson  filed its own motion to dismiss the  consolidated  Delaware  cases so
that it could join in the Florida  action.  The Chancery  Court entered an order
granting  MacKenzie  Patterson's  motion to dismiss on September  17, 1997.  The
defendants  removed the  Florida  action to federal  court and filed  motions to
dismiss,  or in the  alternative,  to stay the action pending  resolution of the
Delaware action. This case is styled Leonard Rosenblum, as Trustee of the Sylvia
Bernice  Rosenblum Trust, et al. v. Marriott MHP Two  Corporation,  et al., Case
No.  96-8377-CIV-HURLEY.  Although the District Court denied these  motions,  it
required the Florida plaintiff to file a second amended complaint. Subsequently,
the Florida  plaintiff  filed yet a third  amended  complaint.  The  defendants'
motion to dismiss the fraud and derivative claims of the third amended complaint
has been pending since July 21, 1997. In addition, the defendants have sought to
deny class certification in this case, because,  among other things, the Florida
plaintiff failed to seek certification for nearly two years. MacKenzie Patterson
filed its Florida  complaint on December 18, 1997,  styled  MacKenzie  Patterson
Special Fund 2, L.P., et al. v. Marriott MHP Two  Corporation,  et al., Case No.
97-8989-CIV-HURLEY,  and the defendants have moved to dismiss this latest effort
on jurisdictional  grounds and because  MacKenzie  Patterson failed to plead its
fraud and derivative  claims  properly.  The defendants  believe that the latest
Florida  complaints are equally without merit and intend to continue  vigorously
defending these actions.  As previously stated, the Partnership is named only as
a nominal  defendant in both lawsuits.  Accordingly,  final  resolution of these
matters  will not have any adverse  effect on business,  financial  condition or
results of operations of the Partnership.
