     The information contained in this Amendment No. 2 supplements and amends
the information contained in Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Person relating
to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Common Stock") of Sunburst
Hospitality Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), as heretofore
amended.

     On September 20, 2000, the Issuer issued a press release (the "Press
Release") announcing that it had entered into a Recapitalization Agreement dated
as of September 20, 2000 (the "Recapitalization Agreement") with Nova Finance
Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Nova"), pursuant to which
Nova will be merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer as the surviving
corporation (the "Merger"). At the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective
Time"), all membership interests of Nova issued and outstanding prior to the
Effective Time shall be converted into Common Stock of the Issuer as the
surviving corporation. Stewart Bainum, Jr. is the sole member of Nova. The
Recapitalization Agreement further provides that each share of the Common Stock
held by the shareholders of the Issuer prior to the Effective Time (other than
shares of Common Stock held by Realty Investment Company, Inc., the Stewart
Bainum Declaration of Trust dated May 23, 1995, the Jane L. Bainum Declaration
of Trust dated May 23, 1995, the Barbara J. Bainum Declaration of Trust dated
December 20, 1996, the Stewart W. Bainum, Jr. Declaration of Trust dated March
13, 1996, the Bruce Bainum Declaration of Trust dated March 13, 1997, the
Roberta Bainum Irrevocable Grantor Trust, Mid Pines Associates Limited
Partnership, Cambridge Investment Company, LLC, Stewart Bainum, Stewart W.
Bainum, Jr., Barbara J. Bainum, Bruce Bainum, James A. MacCutcheon, Kevin P.
Hanley, Pamela M. Williams, Charles Warczak and Gregory Miller (the "Continuing
Shareholders")) will be converted at the Effective Time into a cash payment of
$7.375 per share of Common Stock.

     The transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement are subject
to certain conditions.

     In connection with the transactions contemplated under the Recapitalization
Agreement, the Continuing Stockholders have entered into an Exchange and Voting
Agreement dated as of September 18, 2000 (the "Exchange and Voting Agreement").
Pursuant to the Exchange and Voting Agreement, the Continuing Stockholders have
agreed to vote in favor of the Recapitalization Agreement and the transactions
contemplated thereunder. The Exchange and Voting Agreement further provides that
certain shares of Common Stock held by the Continuing Shareholders shall be
exchanged for Preferred Stock of the Issuer prior to the Merger. This Preferred
Stock will be converted into Common Stock of the Issuer as the surviving
corporation in the Merger. As a result of the transactions contemplated under
the Recapitalization Agreement and the Exchange and Voting Agreement, the
Continuing Stockholders will own the entire equity interest in the Issuer, as
the surviving corporation after the consummation of the transactions
contemplated thereunder.

     Each of the foregoing descriptions of the Recapitalization Agreement, the
Exchange and Voting Agreement and the Press Release is qualified in its entirety

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of Issuer.

     (a) Amount and Percentage Beneficially Owned:

     Prior to the transactions contemplated by the Recapitalization Agreement
and the Exchange and Voting Agreement, as of the close of business on September
19, 2000, the Reporting Person beneficially owned 3,580,107 shares of Common
Stock, including: (i) 512 shares owned directly by Stewart Bainum, (ii)
2,011,636 shares owned directly by the Stewart Bainum Declaration of Trust ("SB
Trust"), the sole trustee and beneficiary of which is Stewart Bainum, (iii)
1,189,289 shares held directly by Realty Investment Company, Inc., a real estate
management and investment company in which the SB Trust and the JB Trust
(defined below) have shared voting authority and Stewart Bainum is the President
and chairman of the board, (iv) 85,000 shares owned by Cambridge Investment
Company, LLC, in which Stewart Bainum is the managing member with sole authority
to vote the shares, (v) 23,435 shares held by the Commonweal Foundation of which
Stewart Bainum is chairman of the board of directors and has shared voting

the right to vote, and (viii) 798 shares which Stewart Bainum has the right to
acquire pursuant to stock options which are presently exercisable or which
become exercisable within 60 days after the Record Date.

     To the best of its knowledge and based on the number of shares of Common
Stock believed to be outstanding as of the close of business on September 19,
2000, the Reporting Person would be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 22.6%
percent of the shares of Common Stock. For purposes of calculating this
percentage, shares outstanding include shares deemed beneficially owned by the
Reporting Person by virtue of holding options

within sixty days.

     Pursuant to the Recapitalization Agreement and the Exchange and Voting
Agreement, the Reporting Person, as a Continuing Shareholder, will continue to
hold a portion of its equity in the Issuer following the Merger.

     (b) Number of shares as to which such person has:

         (i)      Sole Voting Power:                 2,367,383

         (iv)     Shared Dispositive Power:          1,212,724

     Pursuant to the Exchange and Voting Agreement, the Reporting Person has
agreed to vote all shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned in favor of
the Transactions (as defined in the Recapitalization Agreement).

     (c) Transactions effected in the last sixty days:

          Not applicable.

     (d) Ownership of more than five percent on behalf of Another Person:

     To the extent that shares of the Issuer identified in Item 5(a) are held by
corporations or partnerships, other shareholders and partners, respectively,
have the right to receive dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of the
shares to the extent of their proportionate interests in such entities. To the
best of the Reporting Person's knowledge, other than their four adult children,
Stewart Bainum, Jr., Bruce Bainum, Roberta Bainum and Barbara Bainum, no other
person has such interest relating to more than 5% of the outstanding class of
securities. Shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Stewart Bainum, Jr.,
Bruce Bainum, Roberta Bainum and Barbara Bainum are separately reported by these
individuals.

     (e) Ownership of less than five percent:

         Not applicable.

        Securities of the Issuer.

     As described above, pursuant to the Exchange and Voting Agreement, the

for Preferred Stock of the Issuer prior to the Merger. This Preferred Stock will
be converted into Common Stock of the Issuer as the surviving corporation in the
Merger. Pursuant to this agreement, the
