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 intererest
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.

              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, each of Watertone, Watermark and Robert
Berman  beneficially  owned 1,300,000 shares of Hospitality  Common Stock.  Such
shares constitute 11.0% of the shares of Hospitality common stock outstanding as
of the date  hereof.  As of the date  hereof  there  were  8,859,689  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.

              (c)  See  "Item  3.   Source   and   Amount  of  Funds  and  Other
Consideration"  above for  information as to shares of Hospitality  common stock
recently  acquired or disposed of by  Watertone.  Except as  disclosed  therein,
Watertone has not acquired,  within the past 60 days,  any shares of Hospitality
common stock.

              (d) No person other than Watertone has the right to receive or the
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of,
the shares of  Hospitality  common  stock that are the subject of this  Schedule
13D.

              (e) Not applicable.


Item 7.       Exhibits to Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D.

              1. Joint Filing  Agreement,  dated as of February 10, 1998, by and

Berman.
