                            CERTAIN IMPORTANT FACTORS

     This Current Report contains statements which constitute forward looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Those statements appear in a number of places in this Current Report and
include statements regarding the intent, belief or expectations of Hospitality
Properties Trust (the "Company"), its Trustees or its officers with respect to
the declaration or payment of dividends, the consummation of additional
acquisitions, policies and plans of the Company regarding investments,
dispositions, financings, conflicts of interest or other matters, the Company's
qualification and continued qualification as a real estate investment trust or
trends affecting the Company's or any hotel's financial condition or results of
operations. Readers are cautioned that any such forward looking statements are
not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties, and
that actual results may differ materially from those contained in the forward
looking statements as a result of various factors. Such factors include, without
limitation, changes in financing terms, the Company's ability or inability to
complete acquisitions and financing transactions, results of operations of the
Company's hotels and general changes in economic conditions not presently

11, 1998, including the information under the heading "Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations", and in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31,
1997, including under the captions "Items 1. and 2. Business and Properties",
identifies other important factors that could cause such differences.

      Introduction to Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 and Other Data


     The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet at September
30, 1998 is intended to present the consolidated financial position of the
Company as if the transactions described in the notes hereto (the
"Transactions") were consummated at September 30, 1998. The following unaudited
pro forma consolidated statements of income are intended to present the
consolidated results of operations of the Company as if the Transactions were
consummated as of the beginning of the fiscal year presented. These unaudited
pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with,
and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, the separate consolidated
financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 1997 and of
certain hotel properties the Company has acquired for the year ended January 2,
1998, incorporated herein by reference to the Company's Current Reports on Form
8-K dated February 11, 1998 and April 15, 1998 and to the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for its year ended December 31, 1997; and the Company's
unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended September 30,
1998, incorporated herein by reference to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 1998. These unaudited adjusted pro
forma consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of what
the actual consolidated financial position or results of operations of the
Company would have been as of the date or for the period indicated, nor do they
purport to represent the expected consolidated financial position or results of
operations of the Company for any future period. Differences may result from,
among other considerations, future changes in the Company's portfolio of
investments, changes in interest rates, changes in the capital structure of the
Company, delays in the acquisition of certain properties or any determination
not to complete the acquisition of any hotel properties and changes in operating
expenses.

         The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet and
unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of income were prepared pursuant to
the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules for the presentation of pro forma
data. The pro forma and adjusted pro forma other data give effect to the
consummation by the Company of the Transactions. Certain properties expected to
be acquired by the Company are currently under construction or development by
the sellers. Other properties were under construction during the periods
presented when they were owned or under development by the sellers. The
accompanying pro forma information does not give further effect to the
completion of construction or the related lease commencement for any period
prior thereto. Construction projects not completed by September 30, 1998 are
likewise not reflected in the pro forma balance sheet. Rather, the effect of
completion of construction of these properties is presented separately from the
pro forma information as described in the accompanying notes. The Company
believes that a display of such adjusted pro forma data is meaningful and
relevant to the understanding of the Transactions and, accordingly has presented
such data in the final two columns, labeled "Other Data," on the accompanying
pages.
