                         JOHN Q. HAMMONS HOTELS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

1.   ENTITY MATTERS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of John
Q. Hammons Hotels, L.P. and its wholly owned subsidiaries ("Partnership"),
consisting of John Q. Hammons Finance Corporation ("Finance Corp.") and John Q.
Hammons Hotels Finance Corporation II ("Finance Corp. II"), both corporations
with nominal assets and no operations, the catering corporations (which are
separate corporations for each hotel location chartered to own the respective
food and liquor licenses and operate the related food and beverage facilities),
and certain other wholly-owned subsidiaries conducting certain hotel operations.

In conjunction with a public offering of first mortgage notes in February 1994
(the "1994 Notes") and in November 1995 ("1995 Notes") by the Partnership and
Finance Corp. I and II, and a public offering of common stock in November 1994
("Common Stock Offering") by its general partner, John Q. Hammons Hotels, Inc.
("General Partner"), the Partnership, which owned and operated ten hotel
properties, obtained through transfers or contributions from Mr. John Q. Hammons
("Mr. Hammons") or enterprises that he controlled, 21 additional operating hotel
properties, equity interests in two hotels under construction, the stock of
catering corporations and management contracts relating to all of Mr. Hammons'
hotels.

The Partnership is directly or indirectly owned and controlled by Mr. Hammons,
as were all enterprises that transferred or contributed net assets to the
Partnership. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements present, as a
combination of entities under common control as if using the pooling method of
accounting, the financial position and related results of operations of all
entities on a consolidated basis for all periods presented.

All significant balances and transactions between the entities and properties
have been eliminated.

Mr. Hammons and entities directly or indirectly owned or controlled by him are
the only limited partners of the Partnership. Mr. Hammons, through his voting
control of the General Partner, continues to be in control of the Partnership.

2.   GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
for reporting on Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, certain information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for complete
financial statements have been omitted.  These interim statements should be read
in Conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Partnership's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 which
included financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1999,
January 1, 1999, and January 2, 1998.

The information contained herein reflects all normal and recurring adjustments
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of
the results of operations and financial position for the interim periods.
<PAGE>

The Partnership considers all operating cash accounts and money market
investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.  Marketable securities consist of available-for-sale commercial
paper and governmental agency obligations which mature or will be available for
use in operations in 2000.  These securities are valued at current market value,
which approximates cost.

3.   ALLOCATIONS OF INCOME, LOSSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Income, losses and distributions of the Partnership will generally be allocated
between the General Partner and the limited partners based on their respective
ownership interests of 28.31% and 71.69%.

In the event the Partnership has taxable income, distributions are to be made to
the partners in an aggregate amount equal to the amount that the Partnership
would have paid for income taxes had it been a C corporation during the
applicable period.  Aggregate tax distributions will first be allocated to the
General Partner, if applicable, with the remainder allocated to the limited
partners. During the first six months of 2000, the Partnership provided $1.4
million in distributions to John Q. Hammons Hotels, Inc., for the purchase of
treasury stock.

4.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants released
Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities," which requires costs of start-up activities, including preopening
expenses, to be expensed as incurred. The Partnership's past practice was to
defer these expenses until a hotel commenced operations, at which time the
costs, other than advertising costs that are expensed upon opening, were
amortized over a one-year period. The Partnership adopted the provisions of this
statement in the first quarter of fiscal 1999 and, as a result, cumulative
unamortized preopening costs of $1.8 million were charged to expense.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and
reporting standards requiring that every derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded in the
balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. This
statement requires that changes in the derivative's fair value be recognized
currently in earnings, unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. In
June 1999, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No.
133" ("SFAS 137"). SFAS 137 amends SFAS 133's effective date. SFAS 137 states
the statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2000. Upon adoption of this statement, the Partnership
anticipates no impact on its reported consolidated financial position, results
of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.

5.   PROPERTY DISPOSITIONS

Effective June 16, 1999, the Partnership sold the Holiday Inn Express Hotel and
Conference Center in Joliet, Illinois to an unrelated party for $6.5 million,
resulting in a gain of approximately $2.4 million. This hotel served as
collateral under the 1994 first mortgage notes. Under the terms of this
indenture, the Partnership must provide replacement collateral of equivalent
value or apply the proceeds from the sale to amounts outstanding. The
Partnership provided replacement collateral in accordance with the indenture
provisions.

Item 2.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

General. For purposes of this discussion, the Partnership classifies new hotels
(New Hotels) as those hotels opened during the current year and the prior year,
and defines all other hotels as mature hotels (Mature Hotels).

The Partnership announced on September 11, 1998, that it was ceasing new
development activity except for the hotels under construction. The Partnership
opened the last two hotels under construction in the first quarter of 2000, and
currently has no hotels under construction.

Although the Partnership is not developing new hotels, Mr. John Q. Hammons is
personally developing several new projects which the Partnership plans to
manage, including a Renaissance Hotel in Richardson, Texas; an Embassy Suites
Hotel in Franklin, Tennessee; and a Marriott Residence Inn in Springfield,
Missouri.  Two other managed hotels opened recently: the Marriott Courtyard in
Springfield, Missouri, opened April 10, 2000, and the Embassy Suites Hotel in
Lincoln, Nebraska, opened May 1, 2000.

The Partnership's past development activity limits its ability to grow net
income in the near term. Fixed charges for New Hotels (such as depreciation and
amortization expense and interest expense) exceed New Hotel operating cash flow
in the first one to three years of operations. As New Hotels mature, the
Partnership believes, based on past experience, that the operating expenses for
these hotels will decrease as a percentage of revenues, although there can be no
assurance that this will occur.

Results of Operations - Three-Month Period

The following discussion and analysis addresses results of operations for the
three month periods ended June 30, 2000 (the "2000 Quarter") and July 2, 1999
(the "1999 Quarter").

For the 2000 Quarter, the Partnership's total earnings before interest expense,
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $35.5 million, an increase of
31.9% compared to the 1999 Quarter EBITDA of $26.9 million. The Mature Hotels'
EBITDA was $27.2 million in the 2000 Quarter, up 11.0% from $24.5 million in the
1999 Quarter primarily due to four hotels moving to the Mature Hotels category
from the New Hotels category. Those four hotels (Portland Embassy Suites, St.
Augustine World Golf Village, Tampa Embassy Suites, and Topeka Capitol Plaza)
provided $1.9 million of EBITDA in the 2000 Quarter. As a percentage of total
revenues, EBITDA related to the Mature Hotels (excluding the hotels sold)
decreased to 29.3% in the 2000 Quarter from 30.4% in the 1999 Quarter due
primarily to the operating results of World Golf Village. The New Hotels' EBITDA
for the 2000 Quarter was $4.6 million compared to $(0.1) million in the 1999
Quarter. This increase is due primarily to the strong performance of the New
Hotels, especially the Embassy Suites at DFW.

Total revenues for the 2000 Quarter were $109.6 million, an increase of $19.1
million, or 21.1%, compared to the 1999 Quarter, primarily as a result of the
continued growth of the New Hotels, including the hotels opened late in 1999 and
early 2000. The Partnership's Mature Hotels generated total revenues of $92.9
million in the 2000 Quarter, an increase of $12.7 million, or 15.8% compared to
the 1999 Quarter. The Partnership's New Hotels generated total revenues of $16.0
million during the 2000 Quarter compared to $9.8 million in the 1999 Quarter.
There are six New Hotels in both the 2000 Quarter and the 1999 Quarter.
<PAGE>

Rooms revenues increased $11.9 million, or 20.2%, from the 1999 Quarter, but
decreased as a percentage of total revenues, to 65.0% from 65.5%.  The dollar
increase was primarily due to increased rooms revenues from the New Hotels, and
an accompanying increase in the Partnership's average room rate to $98.40, a
3.5% increase compared to the 1999 Quarter average room rate of $95.09.  In
comparison, the average room rate for the hotel industry was $84.67 in the 2000
Quarter, up 5.0% from the 1999 Quarter.  The increased average room rate was
supplemented by a 3.3 percentage point increase in the Partnership's occupancy
for the 2000 Quarter to 68.3%.  Occupancy for the hotel industry was 67.7%, up
2.0 percentage points from the 1999 Quarter.  The Partnership's Revenue Per
Available Room (RevPAR) was $67.20 in the 2000 Quarter, up  8.8% from $61.76 in
the 1999 Quarter.  RevPAR for the hotel industry was $57.28, up 7.0% from the
1999 Quarter.

Food and beverage revenues increased $5.7 million, or 23.0%, compared to the
1999 Quarter, and increased slightly as a percentage of total revenues, to 28.0%
from 27.5% in the 1999 Quarter.  Sales at the New Hotels with full food and
beverage services along with menu pricing adjustments accounted for
substantially all of the increase in food and beverage revenues.

Meeting room rental and other revenues increased $1.4 million, or 22.4%, from
the 1999 Quarter, and increased slightly as a percentage of revenues, to 7.1%
from 7.0%.  The majority of the increase was a result of revenues from the New
Hotels as well as increased meeting and convention business in some of the
Mature Hotels.

Rooms operating expenses increased $2.4 million, or 16.5%, compared to the 1999
Quarter, but decreased as a percentage of rooms revenues to 24.2% from 25.0%.
The dollar increase related primarily to expenses for New Hotels.  For the
Mature Hotels, excluding the one hotel sold in 1999, rooms operating expenses as
a percentage of rooms revenues were 23.8% in the 2000 Quarter, compared to 24.3%
in the 1999 Quarter.

Food and beverage operating expenses increased $3.1 million, or 18.2%, compared
to the 1999 Quarter, but decreased as a percentage of food and beverage
revenues, to 64.8% from 67.5%.  The dollar increase was attributable to expenses
associated with food and beverage revenues at the New Hotels.  Profit margins
improved due to reductions in both food costs and labor costs, as a percentage
of food and beverage revenues.

Other operating expenses decreased slightly by 2.5% compared to the 1999
Quarter, and decreased as a percentage of meeting room rental and other
revenues, to 12.5% from 15.6%.

General, administrative and sales expenses increased $4.5 million, or 16.4%,
over the 1999 Quarter, but decreased as a percentage of revenues to 28.9% from
30.0%.  The dollar increase was primarily attributable to a greater number of
hotels in the 2000 Quarter.

Repairs and maintenance expenses increased $0.6 million, or 14.7%, compared to
the 1999 Quarter, but decreased slightly as a percentage of revenues, to 4.0%
from 4.2% in the 1999 Quarter.  The dollar increase related to the net increase
in number of hotels and rooms in 2000 compared to 1999.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $2.2 million, or 20.1%,
compared to the 1999 Quarter, but decreased slightly as a percentage of revenues
to 12.2% from 12.3%.  The dollar increase related to the hotels opened in late
1999 and early 2000.

                                       10
<PAGE>

Income from operations increased $6.4 million, or 40.3%, compared to the 1999
Quarter. Expenses, particularly direct operating expenses, increased less
rapidly than revenues, and the Partnership began to realize increased benefits
from the hotels opened over the past few years.

Other income(expense), net increased $6.7 million, or 55.1%, from the 1999
Quarter, as the result of a $2.4 million gain on property disposition in the
1999 Quarter, and as the result of increased net interest expense related to the
New Hotels.

Income before extraordinary item and cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle was $3.2 million in the 2000 Quarter, compared to $3.6 million in the
1999 Quarter.  The 1999 results were attributable, in part, to a $2.4 million
gain on the sale of a hotel in June, 1999.

Results of Operations - Six-Month Period

The following discussion addresses results of operations for the six-month
periods ended June 30, 2000 (the "2000 Six Months") and July 2, 1999 (the "1999
Six Months").

For the 2000 Six Months, the Partnership's total EBITDA was $63.7 million, a
24.3% increase compared to the 1999 Six Months EBITDA of $51.3 million.  The
Mature Hotels' EBITDA was $51.8 million in the 2000 Six Months, up $7.3 million
from the 1999 Six Months, primarily due to four hotels moving to the Mature
Hotels category from the New Hotels category.  These four hotels that were
included in New Hotels in 1999 and in Mature Hotels in 2000 provided $4.3
million of EBITDA in the 2000 Six Months.

Total revenues increased to $209.0 million in the 2000 Six Months from $174.0
million in the 1999 Six Months, an increase of $35.0 million or 20.1%.  The
increase is primarily attributed to the continued growth of both New Hotels and
Mature Hotels.

Rooms revenues increased to $134.4 million in the 2000 Six Months from $113.5
million in the 1999 Six Months, an increase of $20.9 million or 18.5% as a
result of increases in average room rates and total number of available rooms.
Rooms revenues as a percentage of total revenues decreased, to 64.3%, compared
to 65.2% in the 1999 Six Months.  The Partnership's average room rate increased
to $98.39 in the 2000 Six Months from $95.08 in the 1999 Six Months, an increase
of $3.31 or 3.5%.  Occupancy increased to 65.2% in the 2000 Six Months from
63.0% in the 1999 Six Months, an increase of 2.2 percentage points.

Food and beverage revenues increased to $59.2 million in the 2000 Six Months
from $48.2 million in the 1999 Six Months, an increase of $11.0 million or
22.9%, and increased as a percentage of total revenues to 28.3% from 27.7% in
the 1999 Six Months.  The increase was attributable primarily to sales at the
New Hotels and menu pricing adjustments.

Meeting room rental and other revenues increased to $15.3 million in the 2000
Six Months from $12.4 million in the 1999 Six Months, an increase of $2.9
million or 23.8%.  Meeting room rental and other revenues also increased
slightly as a percentage of total revenues to 7.3% from 7.1% in the 1999 Six
Months.  The majority of the dollar increase was the result of revenues from the
New Hotels.

Rooms operating expenses increased to $33.4 million in the 2000 Six Months from
$28.6 million in the 1999 Six Months, an increase of $4.8 million or 16.8%.
This expense decreased to 24.8% of rooms revenues in the 2000 Six Months
compared to 25.2% in the 1999 Six Months.  The dollar increase related to the
additional hotels opened in late 1999 and early 2000.

                                       11
<PAGE>

Food and beverage operating expenses increased to $39.0 million in the 2000 Six
Months from $33.1 million in the 1999 Six Months, an increase of $5.9 million or
17.7%.  These expenses decreased as a percentage of food and beverages revenues
in the 2000 Six Months to 65.8%, from 68.7% in the 1999 Six Months.  Profit
margins improved due to reductions in both food costs and labor costs, as a
percentage of food and beverage revenues.

Other operating expenses remained stable at $1.9 million in the 2000 Six Months,
but declined as a percentage of meeting room rental and other income, to 12.1%
in the 2000 Six Months from 15.0% in the 1999 Six Months.

General, administrative and sales expenses increased to $62.6 million in the
2000 Six Months from $51.9 million in the 1999 Six Months, an increase of $10.7
million or 20.7%, and increased slightly as a percentage of total revenues to
30.0% from 29.8% in the 1999 Six Months.  The increase in these expenses was
primarily the result of a greater number of hotels in the 2000 Six-Month period.

Repairs and maintenance expenses increased to $8.4 million in the 2000 Six
Months from $7.3 million in the 1999 Six Months, an increase of $1.1 million or
14.8%.  The increase was a result of the increase in the total number of hotels
open and rooms available.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $26.2 million in the 2000
Six Months from $21.8 million in the 1999 Six Months, an increase of $4.4
million or 20.0%, but remained stable as a percentage of total revenues at
12.5%.  The dollar increase related to the hotels opened in late 1999 and early
2000.

Income from operations was $37.5 million in the 2000 Six Months compared to
$29.5 million in the 1999 Six Months, an increase of $8.0 million or 27.4%.  The
increase was due to increased revenues coupled with controls of operating
expenses.  As a percentage of revenue, income from operating increased to 18.0%
in the 2000 Six Months compared to 16.9% in the 1999 Six Months.

Other income(expense), net increased to $36.9 million in the 2000 Six Months
from $27.2 million in the 1999 Six Months, an increase of $9.7 million or 35.9%,
as a result of a $2.4 million gain on property disposition in the 1999 Six
Months, and as a result of increased net interest expense related to the New
Hotels.  As a percentage of total revenues, this expense increased to 17.7% from
15.6% in the 1999 Six Months.

Income before extraordinary item and cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle was $0.6 million in the 2000 Six Months, compared to $2.3 million in
the 1999 Six Months. The 1999 results were attributable, in part, to a $2.4
million gain on the sale of a hotel in June, 1999.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

In general, the Partnership has financed its operations through internal cash
flow, loans from financial institutions, the issuance of public debt and equity
and the issuance of industrial revenue bonds.  The Partnership's principal uses
of cash are to pay operating expenses, to service debt, to fund capital
expenditures and new hotel development and to make Partnership distributions to
fund some of the taxes associated with income allocable to the partners.

At June 30, 2000, the Partnership had $44.3 million of cash and equivalents and
$8.7 million of marketable securities, compared to $49.7 million and $5.0
million, respectively, at the end of 1999. These amounts are available for
working capital requirements of the Partnership.

                                       12
<PAGE>

Net cash provided by operating activities was $17.4 million for the 2000 Six
Months compared to $19.9 million for the 1999 Six Months.  The decrease is
primarily attributable to a reduction of other obligations, predominantly
construction-related payables and the buyout of several years of self-insurance
reserves.

At June 30, 2000, total debt was $838.5 million compared with $828.8 million at
the end of 1999.  The increase is attributable to the newly-opened hotels.  The
current portion of long-term debt was $13.9 million, compared to $16.6 million
at the end of 1999.  The Partnership incurred net capital expenditures of
approximately $27.5 million during the 2000 Six Months and $61.6 million during
the 1999 Six Months.  Of the $27.5 million incurred during the 2000 Six Months,
approximately $9.6 million was for capital improvements on existing hotel
properties and approximately $17.9 million was for development of new hotels.
During the remainder of 2000, the Partnership expects capital expenditures to
total approximately $10.5 million.

As of June 30, 2000, the Partnership had no hotels under construction, while at
July 2, 1999, the Partnership had four hotels under construction.  Based upon
current plans relating to capital expenditures, the Partnership anticipates that
its capital resources will be adequate to satisfy its 2000 capital requirements
for the currently planned projects and normal recurring capital improvement.

Forward-Looking Statements

NOTE:  In addition to historical information, this document contains certain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements typically, but not exclusively,
are identified by the inclusion of phrases such as "the Partnership believes,"
"the Partnership plans," "the Partnership intends," and other phrases of similar
meaning. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties and
are based on current expectations.  Consequently, actual results could differ
materially from the expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements.
Among the various factors that could cause actual results to differ include a
downturn in the economy (either regionally or nationwide) affecting overall
hotel occupancy rates, revenues at New Hotels not reaching expected levels as
quickly as planned as the result of competitive factors.

(b)  For the long-term fixed rate debt obligations, the weighted average
     interest rate is based on the stated rate of the debt that is maturing in
     the year reported. The weighted average interest rate excludes the effect
     of the amortization of deferred financing costs.

(c)  For the long-term variable rate debt obligations, the weighted average
     interest rate assumes no changes in interest rates and is based on the
     variable rate of the debt, as of June 30, 2000, that is maturing in the
     year reported. The weighted average interest rate excludes the effect of
     the amortization of deferred financing costs.

(d)  The 2000 balances include actual and projected principal repayments and
     weighted average interest rates for the year.

(e)  The fair values of long-term debt obligations approximate their respective
     historical carrying amounts except with respect to the $300 million 1/st/
     Mortgage Notes and the $90 million 1/st/ Mortgage Notes. The fair value of
     the first mortgage note issues is estimated by obtaining quotes from
     brokers.
