Item 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.
Watertone acquired the shares of common stock in order to
obtain an equity position in Hospitality. It intends to hold the shares of
common stock for investment purposes and not to facilitate a possible
acquisition of control of Hospitality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however,
depending on the pricing, availability of the common stock, future developments
at and pertaining to Hospitality, other investment and business opportunities
available to Watertone, and general economic conditions, Watertone or its
affiliates may determine to purchase, in the open market, in privately
negotiated transactions, or otherwise, additional shares of common stock or
otherwise seek to obtain control of Hospitality. In addition, depending on the
factors described above, Watertone also may determine to sell in the open
market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, all or part of their
shares of Hospitality common stock.
On October 31, 1996, pursuant to a reorganization of
Watertone's assets and through an amendment and restatement of Watertone's
Agreement of Limited Partnership, Watertone transferred its interest in 500,000
shares of Hospitality common stock to the then general partner of Watertone,
Watertone LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, effectively reducing its
interest in Hospitality to 1,800,000 shares of common stock.
On January 21, 1997, pursuant to a Redemption Agreement,
Watertone paid to Watertone LLC $4,220,454 in redemption of Watertone LLC's
entire interest in Watertone. As of such date, Watertone LLC is no longer
Watertone's general partner.
As of January 21, 1997, pursuant to an Amendment to
Watertone's Agreement of Limited Partnership, Watermark became the
general partner of Watertone.
On February 6, 1998, Watertone sold 500,000 shares of
Hospitality common stock in a privately negotiated transaction, effectively
reducing its interest in Hospitality to 1,300,000 shares of common stock.
On March 26, 1998, Watertone distributed an aggregate of
1,100,000 shares of Hospitality common stock on a pro-rata basis to its equity
holders. In connection with this distribution, Watermark received 13,000 shares
of Hospitality common stock and Robert Berman received 474,085 shares of
Hospitality common stock. As a result of this distribution (i) Watertone's
interest in Hospitality has been reduced to 200,000 shares of common stock; (ii)
Watermark's interest in Hospitality has been reduced to 213,0001 shares of
common stock; and (iii) Mr. Berman's interest
- --------
1 Consisting of (1) 13,000 shares held directly by Watermark; and (ii) 200,000
shares held by Watertone as to which Watermark is attributed beneficial
ownership.

CUSIP No. 44106N 10 0 13D Page 7 of 8 Pages
- ------------------------------ ------------------------------
in Hospitality has been reduced to 687,0852 shares of common stock.
On November 13, 1998, Mr. Berman purchased 10,000 shares of
Hospitality common stock on the open market at a purchase price of $5.0625 per
share. Mr. Berman's interest in Hospitality common stock has thus been increased
to 697,085 shares of common stock.
Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended in its entirety
to read:
Item 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a) As of the date hereof, Watertone beneficially owns 200,000
shares of Hospitality common stock, Watermark beneficially owns 213,000 shares
of Hospitality common stock and Robert Berman beneficially owns 687,085 shares
of Hospitality Common Stock. Such shares constitute 1.7%, 1.8% and 5.8% of the
shares of Hospitality common stock outstanding as of the date hereof,
respectively. As of the date hereof there were 12,113,856 shares of Hospitality
common stock outstanding.
(b) Robert Berman, as the sole manager of Watermark, which is
the sole general partner of Watertone, has sole power to vote and to dispose of
all of the shares of Hospitality common stock referred to in paragraph (a)
above.
