ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

         This is Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D previously filed by
Servico, Inc. (the "Reporting Person"), with respect to the units of limited
partnership interest (the "Units") of Prime Motor Inns Limited Partnership, a
limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware (the
"Issuer"). The principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at c/o WHI,
4243 Hunt Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45242.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         Item 3 is amended and supplemented as follows:

         The purchase price of the Units of the Issuer purchased by the
Reporting Person reported in this Amendment No. 1 was $1,545,250 (exclusive of
sales commissions). The source of the funds used in making these purchases was
the working capital of the Reporting Person.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         Item 5 is amended and supplemented as follows:

         The Reporting Person beneficially owns an aggregate of 2,445,819 Units,
which, based on the number of outstanding Units reported in the Issuer's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, constitutes
approximately 61.1% of the outstanding Units. The Reporting Person has sole
power to vote and to dispose or to direct the disposition of such Units. The
additional Units purchased, as reported in this Amendment No. 1 which increased
the Reporting Person's beneficial ownership of the Units of the Issuer from
50.1% to 61.1%, were acquired by privately negotiated transactions.

         Except as otherwise reported on Appendix B of this Amendment No. 1 and
the original filing of this Schedule 13D, neither the Reporting Person nor, to
the best knowledge of the Reporting Person, any of the persons listed in Item 2
of the original filing has engaged in any transaction involving the Units in the
last 60 days.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH
         RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         Item 6 is amended in its entirety and restated as follows:

         On April 1, 1998, Prussia Associates, LP ("Prussia"), CLBW Associates,
LP ("CLBW"), Martin W. Field ("Field") and his wife, Kathleen P. Field ("Wife"),

tenants, and Robert M. Broder ("Broder"), as trustee for the Field Family Trust
(the "Trust") (collectively, the "Sellers") each executed an irrevocable proxy
(the "Proxy") in favor of the Reporting Person and David Buddemeyer granting
each of the latter person and entity the full power of substitution, with
respect to the Units (and/or depositary receipts) of the Issuer for which the
Sellers are the record, beneficial and legal owners, to vote or otherwise act
(or give written consent in lieu thereof) at all annual, special and other
meetings of the Issuer and on any other matter for which the approval or
consents of the unitholders is requested or required. Field is the President of
the sole general partner of Prussia and CLBW. The Proxy was granted in
connection with the sale of Units by the Sellers to the Reporting Person. As
reported in Appendix B to this Amendment No. 1, on April 6, 1998, Sellers sold
441,500 depositary Units to the Reporting Person. The foregoing description of
the Proxy is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the form of Proxy, a
copy of which is included as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.

         The Reporting Person has also reached the following agreement in
principle with the Sellers: (i) the Reporting Person will, if a vote is pursued,
vote in favor of payment of $500,000 to Davenport Management Corporation ("DMC")
relating to DMC's proxy solicitation with respect to the Issuer, and (ii) the
Sellers, DMC, the Issuer and the Reporting Person will exchange and deliver full
releases with respect to the Issuer, AMI and the Units.

         Except as described herein, neither the Reporting Person nor, to the
best knowledge of the Reporting Person, any executive officer, director or
controlling person of the Reporting Person, is a party to any contract,
arrangement, understanding or relationship with any person with respect to any
securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of
any securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts
or calls, guaranties of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or
withholding of proxies.
