                            CERTAIN IMPORTANT FACTORS

The Company's quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains statements which constitute
forward looking statements within the meaning of the Securities  Exchange Act of
1934,  as amended.  Those  statements  appear in a number of places in this Form
10-Q and include statements regarding the intent,  belief or expectations of 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 statement 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   contemplated.   The
accompanying  information  contained in this Form 10-Q including the information
under the heading  "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operation,"  identifies other important  factors that could cause
such differences.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
             (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements of Hospitality
Properties Trust and its subsidiaries (the "Company") have been prepared without
audit.  Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  required by  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  for complete  financial  statements  have been
condensed or omitted.  The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to
make  the  information  presented  not  misleading.  However,  the  accompanying
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto  contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended  December 31, 1997.  In the opinion of  management,  all  adjustments
(which include only normal  recurring  adjustments)  considered  necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. All intercompany transactions and balances
between Hospitality  Properties Trust and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.
Operating  results for interim  periods are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
results that may be expected for the full year.

Note 2.  Shareholders' Equity

During the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company issued an aggregate of
2,146,571  Common  Shares  of  beneficial  interest,  par  value  $.01 per share
("Shares")  to three unit  investment  trusts  ("UIT"),  raising net proceeds of
$70,958.  The net  proceeds  from the UITs were used to  acquire  hotels and for
general business purposes.

In January 1998, the Company paid a $0.63 per share dividend to shareholders for
the quarter ended December 31, 1997. On April 9, 1998,  the Trustees  declared a
dividend of $0.64 per share to be paid to shareholders of record as of April 21,
1998, which will be distributed on or about May 21, 1998.

Subsequent  to March 31,  1998,  the Company  issued an  aggregate  of 1,795,842
Shares to two UITs  raising net proceeds of $57,004.  The net proceeds  received
were used to repay amounts outstanding under the Company's bank credit facility.

The  Company  does not  present  diluted  earnings  per share  because it has no
dilutive instruments.

Note 3.  Real Estate Properties

During the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998,  subsidiaries  of the  Company
purchased fifteen Summerfield  Suites(R) hotels, nine Candlewood(R)  hotels, and
one Courtyard by Marriott(R) hotel for approximately $312,519, paid for by draws
under the Company's bank credit  facility,  proceeds from the issuance of Shares
to UITs, and cash on hand.

Subsequent  to  March  31,  1998,  subsidiaries  of the  Company  purchased  one
Candlewood(R)  hotel, one Courtyard by Marriott(R)  hotel, and one Residence Inn
by  Marriott(R)  hotel for  approximately  $49,253,  paid for by draws under the
Company's  bank credit  facility,  proceeds from the issuance of Shares to UITs,
and cash on hand.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
            (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 4.  Indebtedness

During February 1998, the Company issued  $150,000 of 7% senior  unsecured notes
due 2008.  Net proceeds to the Company of  approximately  $148,000  were used to
repay in full  $125,000  of long term  mortgage  debt and for  general  business
purposes.   As  a  result  of  this  transaction,   the  Company  recognized  an
extraordinary  loss of $6,316  ($.16 per share) from the  write-off  of deferred
financing  costs.  Also, a $1,402  write-off is included in interest expense for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 and represents the difference  between the
carrying  amount of an interest  rate cap  agreement and its market value at the
time of the related debt payment.

In March  1998,  the  Company  entered  into a new  unsecured  revolving  credit
facility ("the Credit  Facility") of $250,000.  The Credit  Facility  matures in
2002 and bears  interest at LIBOR plus a spread  based on the  Company's  senior
debt ratings.  The Credit Facility contains  financial  covenants  requiring the
Company,  among other things,  to maintain a debt to asset ratio (as defined) of
no more than 50% and meet certain debt service coverage ratios (as defined).  As
of March 31,  1998,  the  Company  had  $125,000  outstanding  under this Credit
Facility.

Subsequent  to March 31, 1998,  the Company  borrowed  $21,000  under the Credit
Facility for the purchase of hotels.

Note 5.  New Accounting Pronouncements

In 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Financial  Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 130 "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income" ("FAS 130")
and Statement No. 131  "Disclosure  about  Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information"  ("FAS 131").  FAS 130 was required to be adopted for the Company's
1998 interim financial  statements.  FAS 131 must be adopted for the 1998 annual
financial  statements.  The  adoption of FAS 130 had no impact on the  Company's
financial  condition  or operating  results  because the Company has no items of
comprehensive  income.  FAS 131 is expected  to have no impact on the  Company's
financial condition or results of operations.

Results of Operations  (dollar  amounts in thousands  except share and per share
amounts)


Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 versus 1997

Total  revenues for the quarter  ended March 31, 1998  increased to $37,370 from
$25,477 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. Base and percentage rent increased
from $21,894 to $32,474 during the comparable  period. The increase primarily is
a result of the Company's investment in and leasing of sixty-one hotels acquired
in 1997 and 1998.  Interest  income  increased  from $104 for the quarter  ended
March 31, 1997 to $1,078 for the quarter  ended March 31,  1998,  as a result of
additional cash on hand.

Total  expenses for the quarter  ended March 31, 1998  increased to $17,816 from
$10,567 for the  quarter  ended March 31,  1997.  The  increase is the result of
increases  in  depreciation  and   amortization,   interest,   and  general  and
administrative expenses of $4,591, $1,943 and $715,  respectively.  Depreciation
and amortization and general and administrative  expenses increased primarily as
a result of new investments since March 31, 1997.

Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1998  decreased to $13,238 ($0.33 per
share) from $14,910  ($0.56 per share) for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The
decrease  is  primarily  a result of the  extraordinary  ($.16 per  share)  loss
recognized from the extinguishment of debt and other charges described in Note 4
to the financial statements, offset by an increase revenue from new investments.

Funds  from  operations   (defined  as  net  income  before   extraordinary  and
non-recurring  items plus  depreciation  and  amortization of real estate assets
plus those  deposits  made into FF&E Reserve  escrows  which are not included in
revenue) and cash available for  distribution  (defined as funds from operations
less FF&E  Reserve  plus  amortization  of  deferred  financing  costs and other
non-cash  charges)  related to the quarter  ended  March 31,  1998 were  $33,717
($0.85 per share) and $28,957 ($0.73 per share), respectively, compared to funds
from operations and cash available for distribution of $22,680 ($0.84 per share)
and $18,684  ($0.70 per share),  respectively,  for the quarter  ended March 31,
1997.

Liquidity and Capital  Resources  (dollar amounts in thousands  except per share
amounts)

Total  assets of the  Company  increased  to  $1,547,659  at March 31, 1998 from
$1,313,256  for the year ended  December 31, 1997. The increase is primarily due
to new real estate acquisitions.

During the three  months  ended  March 31,  1998,  subsidiaries  of the  Company
acquired nine Candlewood(R)  hotels,  fifteen Summerfield  Suites(R) hotels, and
one Courtyard by Marriott(R) hotel for approximately  $312,519 paid for by draws
under the Company's bank Credit  Facility,  proceeds from the issuance of Common
Shares of Beneficial  Interest ("Shares") to unit investment trusts ("UITs") and
cash on hand.

Subsequent  to  March  31,  1998,  subsidiaries  of  the  Company  acquired  one
Candlewood(R) hotel, one Courtyard by Marriott(R) hotel and one Residence Inn by
Marriott(R)  hotel  for  approximately  $49,253.  Net  cash  used to make  these
acquisitions of $44,000 plus closing costs was funded primarily with draws under
the Credit  Facility,  proceeds from the issuance of Shares to UITs, and cash on
hand. The Company has agreed to acquire an additional three hotels from Marriott
for an additional total investment of approximately  $39,460. The acquisition of
these three hotels is expected to occur during the remainder of 1998.

At March 31, 1998, the Company had $15,915 of cash and cash  equivalents.  As of
March 31, 1998 the Company had $125,000  outstanding  and the ability to draw up
to an additional $125,000 on the Credit Facility.

In February 1998, the Company issued  $150,000 of 7% senior  unsecured notes due
2008. Net proceeds to the Company of  approximately  $148,000 were used to repay
in full $125,000 of long term mortgage debt and for general business purposes.

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

In March  1998,  the  Company  entered  into a new  unsecured  revolving  Credit
Facility of $250,000.  The Credit Facility matures in 2002 and bears interest at
LIBOR plus a spread based on the Company's senior debt ratings.

In February  1998,  the Company  issued an aggregate  2,146,571  Shares to three
UITs. The aggregate net proceeds of $70,958 were used for the purchase of hotels
and for general business purposes.

Subsequent  to March 31, 1998,  the Company  issued an aggregate of 1,795,842 of
Shares to two UITs.  The  aggregate  net proceeds  were $57,004 and were used to
repay amounts outstanding on the Credit Facility.

Funding for current expenses and dividends is provided for by operations and the
Company's  operations  are primarily  comprised of leasing  activity  related to
owned properties.

Property Overview

The Company  acquires,  owns and leases hotel  properties to unaffiliated  hotel
operators.  The Company  owned 60 Courtyard by  Marriott(R)  hotels,  11 Wyndham
Garden(R) hotels, one Wyndham(R) hotel, 29 Residence Inn by Marriott(R)  hotels,
14 Sumner Suites(R) hotels,  14 Candlewood  hotels and 15 Summerfield  Suites(R)
hotels as of March 31, 1998.

Fifty-three of the Company's Courtyard by Marriott(R) hotels are all leased to a
subsidiary  of Host  Marriott  Corporation  ("Host  Marriott")  and managed by a
subsidiary of Marriott International,  Inc. ("Marriott  International").  Annual
base rent on these 53 properties totals $50,635 and percentage rent equals 5% of
increases in total hotel sales over base year levels. The 53 hotels have a total
of 7,610 guest rooms and are located in 23 states. During the first three months
of 1998 these hotels had average occupancy,  average daily rate ("ADR") and room
revenue  per  available   room   ("RevPAR")   of  78.01%,   $91.83  and  $71.58,
respectively,  in the 1998 period versus 79.5%, $83.55 and $66.42, respectively,
for the comparable 1997 period.

Eighteen of the Company's Residence Inn by Marriott(R) properties are all leased
to a  subsidiary  of Host  Marriott  and  managed by a  subsidiary  of  Marriott
International.  Annual  base  rent on these 18  properties  totals  $17,267  and
percentage  rent equals 7.5% of increases in total hotel sales over 1996 levels.
The 18  properties  have a total of 2,178  guest  suites  and are  located in 14
states.  During the first  three  months of 1998 these  properties  had  average
occupancy, ADR and RevPAR of 82.7%, $103.32 and $88.42, respectively in the 1998
period versus 80.1%,  $97.58 and $78.91,  respectively,  for the comparable 1997
period.

The  Company's 11 Wyndham  Garden(R)  hotels are all leased to a  subsidiary  of
Patriot American Hospitality ("Patriot") and operated by subsidiaries of Wyndham
Hotel  Corporation  ("Wyndham").  Annual base rent on these 11 properties totals
$13,600 and  percentage  rent equals 8% of  increases  in total hotel sales over
1996 levels. The 11 properties have a total of 1,940 guest rooms and are located
in seven states.  During the first three months of 1998 these hotels had average
occupancy,  ADR and RevPAR of 76.6%,  $103.23 and $79.49,  respectively,  in the
1998 period versus 76.4%,  $95.22 and $72.80,  respectively,  for the comparable
1997 period.

The Company's one  Wyndham(R)  hotel is a 381-room full service hotel (the "Salt
Lake Hotel") in Salt Lake City,  Utah.  The hotel is leased to a  subsidiary  of
Patriot and is operated by a subsidiary of Wyndham as a Wyndham(R) hotel. Annual
base rent on this hotel is $4,725 and percentage  rent equals 5% of increases in
total hotel sales over 1997 levels and thereafter annually at 8% of increases in
total hotel sales over 1998 levels.  In January 1998,  the Company funded $3,200
for  renovations  to this  hotel.  During  the  first  three  months of 1998 the
property  had average  occupancy,  ADR and RevPAR of 74.7%,  $106.51 and $79.59,
respectively,  in the 1998 period versus 78.4%, $99.95 and $78.32, respectively,
for the comparable  1997 period.  The lease is guaranteed by both parents of the
tenant and the manager  until  operations  at the Salt Lake Hotel cover the base
rent according to a formula, and this guaranty is secured by a cash deposit.

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

In 1997,  the Company  acquired 10 Residence  Inn by  Marriott(R)  hotels (1,276
suites) and four Courtyard by  Marriott(R)  hotels (543 rooms) for $148,800 from
Marriott.  These hotels are leased to a subsidiary of Marriott International for
annual base rent of $14,881.  The Company will begin receiving  percentage rents
and renovation escrows after operations of these hotels are stabilized. Marriott
has  guaranteed  the  lease  payments  until  operations  of  these  hotels  are
stabilized and cover the base rent according to a formula.  For the twelve weeks
ended March 27,  1998,  these hotels had average  occupancy,  ADR, and RevPAR of
77.3%,  $82.15,  and $63.47,  respectively.  Because  these  properties  have an
operating  history  of less  than one  year on  average  a  display  of  average
occupancy,  ADR and  RevPAR  for the prior  year  comparative  period  for these
properties is not meaningful.

In  1997,  the  Company  agreed  to  acquire  from  Marriott  six  Courtyard  by
Marriott(R)  hotels (829 rooms) and three  Residence Inn by  Marriott(R)  hotels
(507 suites) for  $129,400.  These hotels are leased to a subsidiary of Marriott
International for annual base rent of $12,940.  The Company will begin receiving
percentage  rents and  renovation  escrows after  operations of these hotels are
stabilized. Marriott has guaranteed the lease payments until operations of these
hotels are  stabilized  and cover the base rent  according  to a formula.  As of
April 30, 1998 six of these hotels have been acquired;  the remaining  three are
expected to be  acquired  periodically  during  1998.  For the three  properties
opened for the twelve  weeks  ended  March 27,  1998  these  hotels had  average
occupancy, ADR and RevPAR of 67.5%, $109.99, and $74.25,  respectively.  Because
these  properties have an operating  history of less than six months on average,
there is no comparative operating results.

In 1997,  the Company  acquired 14 Sumner  Suites(R)  hotels  (1,641  rooms) for
$140,000  from  ShoLodge,  Inc.  ("ShoLodge").  These  hotels  are  leased  to a
subsidiary  of ShoLodge for annual base rent of $14,000.  The Company will begin
receiving percentage rent, in 1999, equal to 8% of increases in total sales over
1998 levels. For the twelve weeks ended March 22, 1998, these hotels had average
occupancy,  ADR, and RevPAR of 61.4%,  $78.95 and $48.45,  respectively,  in the
1998 period versus 57.5%, $71.97, and $41.35,  respectively,  for the comparable
1997 period.  ShoLodge has guaranteed  the lease  payments  until  operations of
these hotels are stabilized and cover the base rent according to a formula,  and
this guaranty is secured by a cash deposit.

In 1997 and 1998, the Company acquired 15 Candlewood(R) hotels (1,592 rooms) for
$100,000 from Candlewood Hotel Company,  Inc.  ("Candlewood").  These hotels are
leased to  subsidiaries  of  Candlewood  for annual  base rent of  $10,000.  The
Company will begin  receiving  percentage rent equal to 10% of total hotel sales
over total sales  generated  in the hotels'  second year of  operation.  For the
month of March 1998 the fourteen hotels acquired had average occupancy, ADR, and
RevPAR of 73.8%, $57.31 and $42.29,  respectively,  for the 1998 period. Because
these  properties  have an operating  history of less than one year on average a
display of average  occupancy,  ADR, and RevPAR for the  comparative  period for
these properties is not meaningful. Candlewood has guaranteed the lease payments
until  operations  of these  hotels  are  stabilized  and  cover  the base  rent
according to a formula, and this guaranty is secured by a cash deposit.

In March 1998,  the Company  acquired 15  Summerfield  Suites(R)  hotels  (1,822
suites,  2,766 rooms) for $250,000  from  Summerfield  Hotel  Corporation,  Inc.
("Summerfield").  These hotels are leased to  subsidiaries  of  Summerfield  for
annual base rent of $25,000.  The Company will begin receiving  percentage rent,
in 1999,  equal to 7.5% of  increases  in total  hotel  sales over 1998  levels.
During the first three months of 1998 these hotels had average  occupancy,  ADR,
and RevPAR of 79.5%, $123.54 and $98.19, respectively, in the 1998 period versus
80.9%, $115.40 and $93.40, respectively, for the comparable 1997 period.

All of the  Company's  leases  require a percentage  (usually 5%) of total hotel
sales to be escrowed by the tenant or operator as a reserve for  renovations and
refurbishment ("FF&E Reserve").  Funds escrowed in the FF&E reserve accounts are
used for capitalized improvements and replacements to, and refurbishment of, the
hotels.  The Company  believes that these funds will be adequate to maintain the
competitiveness of its hotels.

To maintain  its status as a real estate  investment  trust  ("REIT")  under the
Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as  amended,  the  Company  must meet  certain
requirements including the distribution of at least 95% of its taxable income to
its  shareholders.  As a REIT, the Company  expects not to be subject to federal
income taxes.

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

Dividends are based principally on cash available for distribution  which is net
income plus  depreciation  and  amortization  of real estate  assets and certain
non-cash  charges less FF&E reserve income.  Cash available for distribution may
not equal cash  provided by  operating  activities  because the cash flow of the
Company is affected  by other  factors not  included in the cash  available  for
distribution calculation.

Dividends  declared  in 1997 of  $0.63  per  share  were  distributed  in  1998.
Dividends declared with respect to first quarter 1998 results of $0.64 per share
will be paid to  shareholders  on or about May 21, 1998.  Dividends in a year in
excess of REIT taxable income for that year constitute return of capital.

Seasonality

Most of the Company's hotels experience  seasonal variation in operating results
typical  of the hotel  industry  with  higher  revenues  in the second and third
quarters of calendar  years  compared with the first and fourth  quarters.  This
seasonality  is not presently  expected to cause  fluctuations  in the Company's
rental income  because the Company  believes that the revenues  generated by its
hotels  will be  sufficient  to pay  rents on a  regular  basis  notwithstanding
seasonal fluctuations.

Year 2000

The Company is taking  steps to minimize  any  adverse  effect on the  Company's
business  operations  from year 2000  issues.  While the  Company  believes  its
planning efforts are adequate to address its year 2000 concerns, there can be no
guarantee that the systems of other companies on which the Company's  relies for
certain  data will be year 2000  compliant on a timely basis and will not have a
material  effect on the Company.  The Costs  related to the year 2000 issues are
not expected to be material to the Company's  results of operations or financial
position.
