                          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 Hotels 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.

                                       7
<PAGE>

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.

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 quarter of 2000, the Partnership provided $0.5 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 "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 had 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 No. 133"). SFAS No. 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

                                       8
<PAGE>

137 states the statement is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal
years beginning after June 15, 2000. Upon adoption in this statement, the
Partnership anticipates no impact on its reported consolidated financial
position, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.

5. PROPERTY DISPOSITION

On 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 then under construction. The
Partnership opened the last two hotels under construction in the first quarter
of 2000, and currently has no hotels under construction. The following table
sets forth information as to the hotels opened in 2000:

                                                          Convention Center         2000

</TABLE>

Although the Partnership is not developing new hotels, Mr. 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 an Embassy Suites Hotel in Lincoln, Nebraska (that opened May 1,
2000). Another managed hotel, the Marriott Courtyard in Springfield, Missouri,
opened on April 10, 2000.

The Partnership's past development activity limits its ability to grow per share
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.  The following discussion and analysis addresses results
of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2000 (the "2000
Quarter") and April 2, 1999 (the "1999 Quarter").

For the 2000 Quarter, the Partnership's total earnings before interest expense,
taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $28.2 million, a 15.6%
increase over the 1999 Quarter EBITDA of $24.4 million.  As a percentage of
total revenues, EBITDA decreased to 28.4% in the 2000 Quarter from 29.1% in the
1999 Quarter, in part because of more favorable insurance experience in the 1999
Quarter of $0.8 million, compared to the 2000 Quarter.  The Mature Hotels'
EBITDA was $24.6 million in the 2000 Quarter, up 22.4% from $20.1 million in the
1999 Quarter.  As a percentage of total revenues, EBITDA related to the Mature
Hotels increased to 28.6% in the 2000 Quarter from 27.3% in the 1999 Quarter.
The New Hotels' EBITDA for the 2000 Quarter was $1.3 million compared to $2.3
million in the 1999 Quarter.  In the 2000 Quarter, the Partnership had six New
Hotels, compared to four New Hotels in the 1999 Quarter.  The 2000 Quarter
results include $0.5 million in preopening expenses related to two hotels then
under construction and the 1999 Quarter results include $0.8 million in
preopening expenses related to six hotels then under construction.

Total revenues for the 2000 Quarter were $99.5 million, an increase of $15.9
million, or 19.0%, compared to the 1999 Quarter, primarily as a result of the
continued growth of the Mature Hotels and the hotels opened during 1999.  The
Partnership's Mature Hotels generated total revenues of $86.2 million in the
2000 Quarter, an increase of $12.6 million, or 17.1%, compared to the 1999
Quarter.  The Partnership's six New Hotels generated total revenues of $12.8
million during the 2000 Quarter compared to $9.6 million from the four New
Hotels in the 1999 Quarter.

Rooms revenues increased $9.0 million, or 16.6%, from the 1999 Quarter, but as a
percentage of total revenues fell to 63.9% from 64.9%.  The dollar increase was
primarily due to increased rooms revenues from the Mature Hotels, from an
increase in the Partnership's average room rate to $98.35, a 3.5% increase
compared to the 1999 Quarter average room rate of $95.02, and a 1.0 percentage
point increase in the Partnership's occupancy for the 2000 Quarter to 62.0%.  In
comparison, the average room rate for the hotel industry was $85.16 in the 2000
Quarter, up 3.6% from the 1999 Quarter. Occupancy for the hotel industry was
59.1% down 0.1 percentage point from the 1999 Quarter.  The Partnership's
Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR) was $60.96 in the 2000 Quarter, up 5.2% from
$57.94 in the 1999 Quarter.  RevPAR for the hotel industry was $50.33, up 3.4%
from the 1999 Quarter.

Food and beverage revenues increased $5.3 million, or 22.8%, compared to the
1999 Quarter, and increased as a percentage of total revenues, to 28.9%, from
27.9%.

Meeting room rental and other revenues increased $1.5 million, or 25.3%, from
the 1999 Quarter as the result of increased use of convention facilities, and
increased as a percentage of revenues, to 7.6% from 7.2%.

Rooms operating expenses increased $2.4 million, or 17.2%, compared to the 1999
Quarter, and remained stable as a percentage of rooms revenues at 25.4%.

                                       10
<PAGE>

Food and beverage operating expenses increased $2.8 million, or 17.2%, compared
to the 1999 Quarter, but decreased as a percentage of food and beverage
revenues, to 66.8% from 70.0%.  The dollar increase was attributable to expenses
associated with increased food and beverage sales.

Other operating expenses remained relatively stable compared to the 1999 Quarter
and decreased as a percentage of meeting room rental and other revenues, to
11.8% from 14.3% in the same period of the prior year.

General, administrative and sales expenses increased $6.3 million, or 25.4%,
over the 1999 Quarter, and increased as a percentage of revenues to 31.2% from
29.6%.  The increase was primarily attributable to expenses associated with the
four New Hotels opened in 1999 and the two New Hotels opened in 2000.

Repairs and maintenance expenses increased $0.5 million, or 14.9%, compared to
the 1999 Quarter and decreased slightly as a percentage of revenues to 4.1% from
4.2% in the 1999 Quarter.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $2.1 million, or 19.9%,
compared to the 1999 Quarter, and increased slightly as a percentage of revenues
to 12.9% from 12.8%.  The increase is primarily attributable to the four New
Hotels opened in 1999 and the two New Hotels opened in 2000.

Income from operations increased $1.7 million, or 12.6%, compared to the 1999
Quarter, but decreased as a percentage of revenues, to 15.5% from 16.4% in the
1999 Quarter.

Interest income decreased by $0.5 million from the 1999 Quarter, to $0.4 million
as the Partnership reinvested cash from the sale of hotels in 1998 and 1999 into
new collateral.

Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees increased $2.6
million, or 16.2%, from the 1999 Quarter, and decreased slightly as a percentage
of total revenues to 18.5% from 18.9%.  The dollar increase related to interest
expense for the New Hotels.

Loss before extraordinary item and cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle was $2.6 million in the 2000 Quarter, compared to $1.3 million in the
1999 Quarter.  The increased loss was primarily attributable to increases in
depreciation and interest expense.

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, to make partnership distributions to
fund some of the taxes associated with income allocable to the partners and to
enable the General Partner to purchase treasury stock.

                                       11

At March 31, 2000, the Partnership had $39.8 million of cash and equivalents and
$5.1 million of marketable securities, compared to $49.7 million and $5.0
million, respectively, at the end of 1999.  The cash and equivalents are
available for working capital requirements of the Partnership.

Net cash used in operating activities was $10.8 million for the 2000 Quarter
compared to $9.9 million for the 1999 Quarter.  The Partnership used more cash
in the 2000 Quarter as receivables increased and other obligations decreased
from the end of the year.

At March 31, 2000, total debt was $848.7 million compared with $828.8 million at
the end of 1999.  The increase is attributable to completion of new hotel
development.  The current portion of long-term debt was $23.4 million, compared
with $16.6 million at the end of 1999.  The Partnership incurred net capital
expenditures of approximately $18.2 million during the 2000 Quarter and $25.1
million during the 1999 Quarter.  Of the $18.2 million incurred during the 2000
Quarter, approximately $2.2 million was for capital expenditures on existing
hotels, and approximately $16.0 million was for new hotel development, while in
the 1999 Quarter, approximately $1.6 million was for capital improvements on
existing hotel properties and approximately $23.5 million was for development of
new hotels.  During the remainder of 2000, the Partnership expects capital
expenditures to total approximately $20.2 million, including $16.8 million for
capital improvements on existing hotels and approximately $3.4 million for
amounts to be incurred for the two hotels opened in the first quarter of 2000.

At the end of the 2000 Quarter, the Partnership had no hotels under
construction, while at the end of the 1999 Quarter, the Partnership had six
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.

NOTE: In addition to historical information, this document contains certain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation 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, or revenues at New Hotels not reaching expected levels as
quickly as planned as the result of competitive factors.

     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 March 31, 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 payments and
     weighted average interest rates for the years.

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