prominence as other financial statements. The Company does not

material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
($ amounts in thousands)
OVERVIEW
Winston Hotels, Inc. (the "Company"), which consummated an
underwritten initial public offering ("IPO") in June 1994, follow-
on Common Stock offerings in May 1995 and in June 1996, and a
Preferred Stock offering in September 1997, operates as a REIT to
invest in hotel properties. The Company owned 41 hotels (the
"Current Hotels") as of March 31, 1998. The Company owned 16
hotels as of December 31, 1994 (the "1994 Hotels"), purchased five
hotels in May 1995 (the "1995 Acquired Hotels"), acquired 10
hotels in 1996 (the "1996 Acquired Hotels"), acquired seven hotels
in 1997 (the "1997 Acquired Hotels") and acquired two hotels and
opened one internally developed hotel in the first quarter of 1998
(the "1998 Hotels"). It currently leases all 41 Current Hotels to
CapStar Winston Company, L.L.C. (the "Lessee") under Percentage
Leases through which it receives its principal source of revenue.
The Company acquired one additional full-service hotel in April
1998, on additional extended-stay hotel in May 1998 and one
additional full-service hotel in May 1998.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and the comparable
period for 1997, the differences in operating results are
primarily attributable to the fact that the Company owned more
hotels in 1998 than it did in 1997. The table below outlines the
Company's investment in hotel properties for the periods ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997.

In order to present a more meaningful comparison of operations, in
addition to the comparison of actual results of the Company and
the Lessee for the three months ended March 31, 1998 versus actual
results for the three months ended March 31, 1997, below also is
an analysis of the pro forma results of the Company for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 versus pro forma results for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 as if the 1997 Preferred Stock
offering and the 1997 and 1998 acquisitions had occurred on the
later of January 1, 1997, or the hotel opening date for the two
newly developed hotels which opened in March 1998.
THE COMPANY
ACTUAL - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 VS ACTUAL - THREE
MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
The Company had revenues of $10,122 in 1998, consisting of $10,073
of Percentage Lease revenues and $49 of interest and other income.
Percentage Lease revenues increased by $2,925 to $10,073 in 1998
from $7,148 in 1997. This increase was comprised of: (i) $483 due
to the 1998 Hotels, (ii) $2,245 due to the 1997 Acquired Hotels
owned for the entire three-month period in 1998, and (iii) an
increase of $197 in lease revenues generated from hotels acquired
prior to 1997.
Real estate taxes and property insurance costs incurred in 1998
were $979, an increase of $414 from $565 in 1997. This increase
was primarily attributable to the 1997 Acquired Hotels that were
not owned in the first quarter of 1997, the 1998 Hotels, as well
as increased property tax assessments and tax rates from 1997 to
1998. General and administrative expenses increased $229 to $599
in 1998 from $370 in 1997. The increase was attributable to the
increase in size and activities of the Company in 1998. Interest
expense decreased by $190 to $625 in 1998 from $815 in 1997.
Although the weighted average outstanding debt balance increased
from 1997 to 1998, from $45,023 to $58,682, capitalized interest
costs related to development and renovation projects increased
from $174 to $640, resulting in a lower interest expense in 1998.
Interest rates remained constant between the two quarters.
Depreciation increased $936 to $3,158 in 1998 from $2,222 in 1997,
primarily due to depreciation related to the 1997 Acquired Hotels,
the 1998 Hotels and renovations completed during 1997 and 1998.
<PAGE 16>
PRO FORMA - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 VS PRO FORMA -
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997
The Company had revenues of $10,695 for the three months ended
March 31, 1998, consisting of $10,646 of Percentage Lease revenues
and $49 of interest and other income. Percentage Lease revenues
increased by $470 to $10,646 in 1998 from $10,176 in 1997. Of
this increase, $305 was primarily attributable to an increase in
room rates in 1998 from 1997 and $165 was attributable to the
opening of two hotels in 1998.
Real estate taxes and property insurance costs incurred in 1998
were $1,001, an increase of $171 from $830 in 1997. The increase
was due primarily to increased property tax assessments and tax
rates from 1997 to 1998 as well as additional taxes paid due to
the opening of two hotels in 1998. General and administrative
expenses increased $211 to $601 in 1998 from $390 in 1997. The
increase was primarily attributable to payroll costs associated
with the increase in headcount from 1997 to 1998. Interest
expense increased by $57 to $786 in 1998 from $729 in 1997. The
increase was attributable to $561 of additional interest expense
related primarily to borrowings under the line of credit to fund
acquisitions of the 1997 Acquired Hotels and 1998 Hotels, offset
by both the capitalization of additional interest costs, totaling
$467, in connection with the development and certain renovation
projects during the respective periods, as well as a reduction in
line of credit fees totaling $37. Depreciation increased $380 to
$3,243 in 1998 from $2,863 in 1997 primarily due to renovations
and other capital expenditures during 1997 and 1998.

During November 1997, CapStar Management Company ("CMC") and
CapStar Hotel Company purchased substantially all of the assets
and assumed certain liabilities of Winston Hospitality, Inc.,
including 38 hotel leases, certain operating assets and
liabilities, and goodwill and other intangible assets. Concurrent
with the purchase, CMC contributed/assigned the assets purchased
and liabilities assumed in the transaction to CapStar Winston
Company, L.L.C. (the "Lessee").
<PAGE 17>
Since the Lessee was not operating prior to the purchase
transaction, no comparative data is available for the period
January 1, 1997 through March 31, 1997. However, for purposes of
this management discussion and analysis, the financial information
of the Lessee for the three months ended March 31, 1998 will be
compared with the financial information of Winston Hospitality,
Inc. for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The Winston
Hospitality financial information for the three months ended March
31, 1997 contained in the table above has been reclassified and
grouped according to the Lessee format in order to facilitate an
accurate comparison of the data.
The Lessee had room revenues of $22,573 in 1998, up $6,248 from
$16,325 in 1997. The increase in room revenues was due to an
increase in room revenues of (i) $490 for the 1994 Hotels, the
1995 Acquired Hotels and the 1996 Acquired Hotels, (ii) $5,102 for
the 1997 Acquired Hotels, and (iii) $656 for the 1998 Hotels.
Food and beverage revenue increased $277, to $901 in 1998 from
$624 in 1997, primarily due to the 1997 Acquired Hotels and 1998
Hotels. Telephone and other operating departments revenue
increased $428 to $1,170 in 1998 from $742 in 1997, primarily due
to an increase in revenue associated with long distance phone
calls and in-room movies.
The Lessee had total expenses in 1998 of $23,869, up $6,422 from
$17,447 in 1997. The increase, as shown above, in all expense
categories except depreciation and amortization expense, were
primarily attributable to the operation of a greater number of
hotels for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared with
the same period of 1997. Although administrative and general
expenses increased in 1998 from 1997, these expenses decreased as
a percentage of total revenue from 1997 to 1998 as a result of
efficiencies developed within the management company, making the
incremental cost per hotel less expensive. Depreciation and
amortization expense increased due to amortization being charged
in 1998 as a result of goodwill and other intangible assets
arising out of the purchase of Winston Hospitality, Inc. by CMC
and CapStar Hotel Company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company finances its operations from operating cash flow,
which is principally derived from Percentage Leases. For the
quarter ended March 31, 1998, cash flow provided by operating
activities was $4,993 and funds from operation, which is equal to
net income before minority interest plus depreciation, less
preferred dividends, was $6,098. Under Federal income tax law
provisions applicable to REITs, the Company is required to
distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to maintain its tax
status as a REIT. In the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the
Company declared distributions of $6,605 to its shareholders.
Because the Company's cash flow from operating activities is
expected to exceed its taxable income due to depreciation and
amortization expenses, the Company expects to be able to meet its
distribution requirements out of cash flow from operating
activities.
The Company's net cash used in investing activities for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $40,453, including $29,232
related to the acquisition of the 1998 Hotels, $2,877 for hotel
renovations and $7,141 for the development of six new extended-
stay hotels and one limited-service hotel, which are expected to
cost approximately $71,000. The total cost of the 1998 Hotels was
$40,898, including $11,666 related to the development of the
Homewood Suites hotel in Raleigh, N.C.
The Company plans to spend approximately $7,000 to renovate
certain of its Current Hotels during the next twelve months.
These expenditures are in addition to the reserve of 5% of room
revenues for its limited-service hotels and 7% of room revenues
and food and beverage revenues from its full-service hotels which
the Company is required to set aside under its Percentage Leases
for periodic capital improvements and the refurbishment and
replacement of furniture, fixtures and equipment at its Current
Hotels. In the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company set
aside $1,190 for such reserves. These reserves are in addition to
amounts spent on normal repairs and maintenance which have
approximated 5.4% and 5.3% of room revenues for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and are paid by the
Lessee.
The Company's net cash provided by financing activities during the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 totaled $36,337, including an
increase of $42,800 in the line of credit borrowings and $485 of
net proceeds from the issuance of common stock related to the
exercise of stock options, offset by the payment of distributions
to shareholders of $6,478 and the payment of distributions to
minority interest holders of $470.
The Company has collateralized a portion of its $125,000 line of
credit with 28 of its Current Hotels amounting to $96,401 as of
March 31, 1998. This amount is calculated quarterly, and
increases if cash flow attributable to the collateral hotels
increases and/or the Company adds additional hotels as collateral.
The total additional, non-collateralized line availablity
accessible to the Company as of March 31, 1998 was $28,599. The
Company's Articles of Incorporation limit its total
<PAGE 18>
amount of indebtedness to 45% of the purchase prices paid by the
Company for its investments in hotel properties, as defined. As
of March 31, 1998, the Company had additional borrowing capacity
under the debt limitation of approximately $126,000 assuming it
invests all borrowings in additional hotels.
Under an arrangement with Promus Hotels, Inc. ("Promus") the
Company has an agreement to acquire a 123-suite Homewood Suites
hotel being developed by Promus in Richmond, Virginia. The Company
expects to acquire this hotel upon its completion, which Promus
estimates will occur during the second quarter of 1998, for a
purchase price approximating Promus' development cost, estimated
to be $8,600. Conditions to the Company's obligation to purchase
include its approval of the building specifications and Promus'
completion of construction within certain cost limitations and by
a specified delivery date. Pursuant to the arrangement, Promus
has agreed to invest $1,845 in the Company's Common Stock (at the
then-current market price per share), in connection with the
purchase of this hotel.
The Company intends to acquire and develop additional hotel
properties, including those described above, that meet its
investment criteria and is continually evaluating acquisition
opportunities. It is expected that future hotel acquisitions will
be financed, in whole or in part, from additional follow-on
offerings, from borrowings under the line of credit, from joint
venture agreements, and/or from the issuance of other debt or
equity securities. There can be no assurances that the Company
will acquire any additional hotels, or that any hotel development
will be undertaken, or if commenced, that it will be completed on
schedule or on budget. Further, there can be no assurances that
the Company will be able to obtain any additional financing.
Seasonality
The hotels' operations historically have been seasonal in nature,
reflecting higher REVPAR during the second and third quarters.
This seasonality and the structure of the Percentage Leases,
which provide for a higher percentage of room revenues above the
minimum equal quarterly levels to be paid as Percentage Rent, can
be expected to cause fluctuations in the Company's quarterly lease
revenue under the Percentage Leases.
Forward Looking Statements
This report contains certain "forward looking" statements within
the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, including, but not limited to, those paragraphs
relating to development and acquisition of hotels in this section.

to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual operating
results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in
the forward looking statements. Important factors that could
cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to the
following (i) risk associated with the Company's acquisition of
hotels with little or no operating history, including the risk
that such hotels will not achieve the level of revenue assumed by
the Company in calculating the respective Percentage Rent formula;
(ii) development risk, including risk of construction delay, cost
overruns, receipt of zoning, occupancy and other required
governmental permits and authorizations and the incurrence of
development costs in connection with projects that are not pursued
through completion; and (iii) factors identified in the Company's
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the
factors listed in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 1,
