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

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

The  accompanying  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements of Hospitality
Properties  Trust,  or the  Company,  and its  subsidiaries  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.  We believe 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1998. 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.

In 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued  Issue No.  98-9,
"Accounting for Contingent Rent in Interim Financial  Periods" ("EITF 98-9"). We
had adopted the  provisions of EITF 98-9  prospectively  as of May 21, 1998 (the
date of the  issuance of EITF 98-9) and  continued to apply them until EITF 98-9
was rescinded during the fourth quarter 1998.

If EITF 98-9 was  applicable  for the three  months  ended March 31,  1999,  net
income  would have been $21,957  ($.48/share).  For the three months ended March
31, 1998 net income  before  extraordinary  items and net income would have been
$18,575  ($.47/share)  and $12,259  ($0.31/share),  respectively.  The  deferred
percentage  rent  balance as of March 31, 1999 and 1998 would have been $939 and
$979, respectively.

EITF  98-9 had no  impact  on our  annual  results  of  operations,  rather  the
accounting  changes  required  by EITF 98-9 would  have,  in  general,  deferred
recognition of certain percentage rental income from the first, second and third
quarters to the fourth quarter within a fiscal year.

Note 2.  Shareholders' Equity

In January  1999,  we paid a $0.67 per share  dividend to  shareholders  for the
quarter  ended  December 31,  1998.  On April 5, 1999,  the Trustees  declared a
dividend of $0.68 per share to be paid to shareholders of record as of April 20,
1999, which will be distributed on or about May 20, 1999.

On April 12,  1999,  we issued 3 million  shares of 9 1/2%  Series A  Cumulative
Redeemable  Preferred Shares raising net proceeds of approximately  $72,400. The
net proceeds were used to repay amounts  outstanding  under our revolving credit
facility.

On May 5, 1999 we  issued  10,000,000  common  shares  of  beneficial  interest,
raising  net  proceeds  of  $253,925.  The net  proceeds  were used to repay all
amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and for general business
purposes.

We do not  present  diluted  earnings  per  share  because  we have no  dilutive
instruments.

Note 3.  Indebtedness

As of  March  31,  1999 we had  $172,000  outstanding  on our  revolving  credit
facility all of which was drawn during the 1999 first quarter. Proceeds from the
draws were used to fund the  acquisitions  discussed  in Note 4. The balance was
reduced to zero in May 1999 with proceeds  from the offerings  discussed in Note
2.

Note 4.  Real Estate Properties

During the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999,  certain  of our  subsidiaries
purchased  eighteen  Homestead  Village(R)  hotels,  three Candlewood  Suites(R)
hotels,  five TownePlace  Suites by Marriott(R)  hotels and one Residence Inn by
Marriott(R)  hotel  for  approximately  $221,300,  paid for by draws  under  our
revolving credit facility and cash on hand.

 Subsequent to March 31, 1999, one of our  subsidiaries  purchased one Courtyard
by Marriott(R) hotel for approximately $10,200, paid for by cash on hand.

                 (in thousands, except share and per share data)

Each of these hotels  purchased in 1999 was leased to an  unaffiliated  party as
part of a pool of properties also leased to affiliates of the seller.

Note 5.  Significant Tenant

At March 31, 1999, 53 Courtyard by  Marriott(R)  properties  owned by one of our
subsidiaries  were  leased  to a special  purpose  subsidiary  of Host  Marriott
Corporation ("Host") and managed by a subsidiary of Marriott International, Inc.
(Marriott).  The results of operations for the twelve weeks ended March 26, 1999
and  March 27,  1998 and  summarized  balance  sheet  data of the Host  Marriott
subsidiary  to which our  Courtyard  by  Marriott(R)  hotels  are  leased are as

properties  to a subsidiary  of Crestline  Capital  Corporation.  However,  Host
remains the primary obligor under the leases. Accordingly,  beginning January 1,
1999,  Host  Marriott  reports  rental  income as compared to hotel sales in the
prior year.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operation

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

Quarter Ended March 31, 1999 versus 1998 

Rental income for the 1999 first quarter was $49,042, a 51% increase over rental
income of $32,474 for the 1998 first quarter.  This increase was due to the full
impact  of 51  hotels  acquired  in 1998 and the  partial  impact  of 27  hotels
acquired  during  the  first  quarter  of  1999.   Rental  income  is  comprised
principally of base rent,  which was $48,102 for the 1999 first  quarter,  a 53%
increase  over base rent of $31,  495 for the 1998  first  quarter.  Base  rents
increased  because of the  acquisitions  discussed  above.  Rental  income  also
includes   percentage   rents  which  were  $939  in  the  1999  first  quarter,
substantially unchanged from percentage rent of $979 for the 1998 first quarter.
FF&E reserve  income  represents  amounts  paid by our tenants  into  restricted
accounts  owned by us, the  purpose of which is to  accumulate  funds for future
necessary capital expenditures at our owned properties.  The terms of our leases
require  these  amounts to be calculated as a percentage of total hotel sales at
these properties. The FF&E reserve income for the 1999 first quarter was $4,114,
an 8%  increase  over FF&E  reserve  income  for the 1998  first  quarter.  This
increase is due  principally  to the impact of  additional  hotels owned and the
increased level of total hotel sales experienced at our hotels.  Interest income
for the 1999 first quarter was $117, a $961  decrease  from  interest  income of
$1,078 for the 1998 first quarter. This decrease was due to a lower average cash
balance in the 1999 period versus the 1998 period.

Interest  expense for the 1999 first  quarter was $9,935,  a 134%  increase over
interest  expense of $4,239 for the 1998 first quarter.  The increase was due to
higher average borrowing during the 1999 period.  Borrowings increased primarily
as a result of three separate  issuances of senior  unsecured notes in February,
November  and  December  of  1998  for a total  of  $415,000.  Depreciation  and
amortization expense for the 1999 first quarter was $17,271, a 52% increase over
depreciation  and  amortization  expense of $11,364 for the 1998 first  quarter.
This  increase  was  due  principally  to  the  full  quarter's  impact  of  the
depreciation  of 51 hotels  acquired in 1998 and the partial impact of 27 hotels
acquired during the first quarter of 1999.  General and  administrative  expense
for the  1999  first  quarter  was  $3,171,  a 43%  increase  over  general  and
administrative  expense  in  the  1998  first  quarter.  This  increase  is  due
principally  to the impact of  additional  hotels  purchased  in 1998 and in the
first quarter of 1999.

Income before  extraordinary  item for the 1999 first quarter was $22,896, a 17%
increase over income before  extraordinary item for the 1998 first quarter.  The
increase was primarily due to higher rental income partially offset by increases
in depreciation and interest expense.  These increases were due primarily to the
impact of hotel acquisitions during 1998 and in the first quarter 1999.

On a per share basis, income before  extraordinary item was $0.50, a 2% increase
over the 1998 first quarter.  The increase was due to the effect of acquisitions
discussed above, partially offset by the increase in the weighted average shares
outstanding that resulted from our common share issuances during 1998.

Funds from operations, or FFO, is defined as net income before extraordinary and
non-recurring  items plus  depreciation  and  amortization of real estate assets
plus those  deposits made into  refurbishment  escrows which are not included in
revenue.  Cash  available for  distribution,  or CAD, is FFO less  refurbishment
escrows  plus  amortization  of  deferred  financing  costs and  other  non-cash
charges.  For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, FFO was $43,238 ($.95 per share)
and CAD was $36,909 ($.81 per share).  FFO and CAD were $33,717 ($.85 per share)
and $28,957 ($.73 per share),  respectively,  in the 1998 period.  Growth in FFO
and CAD is  primarily  related  to the  effects  on  revenues  and  expenses  of
acquisitions in 1998 and 1999.

Cash flow provided by (used for) operating,  investing and financing  activities
was $38,398, ($197,923) and $141,451,  respectively, for the quarter ended March
31, 1999.  Cash flow from  operations in 1999 increased 14% from $33,588 in 1998
primarily due to the impact on rental revenue from  investments made in 1998 and
1999.  Cash used in investing  activities  and provided by financing  activities
decreased  in 1999 from 1998  levels  primarily  because of  investments  in and
related financing of 25 hotels during the first quarter 1998 for $312,519 versus
the  investment  in and related  financing of 27 hotels during the first quarter
1999 for $223,019.

Our total  assets  increased  to $2.0  billion  as of March  31,  1999 from $1.8
billion as of December 31,  1998.  The increase  resulted  primarily  from hotel
acquisitions completed in the first quarter of 1999.

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

During the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999,  certain  of our  subsidiaries
acquired 18 Homestead Village(R) hotels, three Candlewood Suites(R) hotels, five
TownePlace  Suites by Marriott(R)  hotels,  and one Residence Inn by Marriott(R)
hotel for $223,019.  Cash used to make these acquisitions plus closing costs was
funded with proceeds from draws under our revolving  credit facility and cash on
hand.

Subsequent to March 31, 1999, one of our subsidiaries purchased one Courtyard by
Marriott(R)  hotel for  approximately  $10,205.  Cash used to make this purchase
plus closing  costs was funded  primarily  with cash on hand.  We have agreed to
acquire an additional six hotels from Marriott  International  for an additional
total investment of approximately  $64,744.  The acquisition of these six hotels
is expected to occur during the remainder of 1999.

At March 31,  1999,  we had  $6,532 of cash and cash  equivalents  and  $172,000
outstanding on our revolving credit facility,  with the ability to draw up to an
additional  $128,000.  From  time to  time,  including  currently,  we  consider
entering or pursuing  transactions which would provide equity or debt capital of
various forms and on various terms. On January 15, 1998, our shelf  registration
statement for up to $2 billion of  securities,  including debt  securities,  was
declared  effective by the  Securities and Exchange  Commission,  or the SEC. An
effective shelf registration  statement enables us to issue specific  securities
to the public on an expedited  basis by filing a prospectus  supplement with the
SEC.  After giving effect to our $75 million  preferred  share issuance in April
1999, we have $1.3 billion  available on our shelf  registration  statement.  We
believe that the capital available to us from time to time will be sufficient to
enable the  execution  of our  business  plans and the  funding of our  existing
commitments.

On April 12, 1999, we issued three million  shares of 9 1/2% Series A Cumulative
Redeemable  Preferred  Shares raising gross proceeds of $75,000 (net proceeds of
$72,400).  The net proceeds  were used to repay  amounts  outstanding  under our
revolving credit facility.

All our  investments  are leased to and operated by third parties.  All costs of
operating  and  maintaining  the hotel  properties  are borne by our tenants and
operators.  All of our 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").  We use  funds  escrowed  in the FF&E  reserve
accounts for capitalized improvements and replacements to, and refurbishment of,
our hotels.  Capital  expenditures  for  routine  maintenance,  replacement  and
refurbishment  of our  properties are required to be paid for from funds in cash
FF&E  Reserves.   As  of  March  31,  1999,  we  and  our  several  tenants  had
approximately $31,312 on deposit in these refurbishment escrow accounts.

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

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  with  respect to the fourth  quarter  1998 results of $0.67 per share
were  distributed  in January  1999.  Dividends  declared  with respect to first
quarter 1999 results of $0.68 per share will be paid to shareholders on or about
May 20,  1999.  Dividends  for a year in excess of taxable  income for that year
constitute return of capital.

Funding  for  current  expenses  and   distributions  is  provided  for  by  our
operations,  which are primarily  comprised of leasing activity related to owned
properties.

Property Leases

As of March 31, 1999 we own or are  committed  to purchase  204 hotels which are
grouped into eleven  combinations and leased to separate  affiliates of publicly
owned hotel companies including Marriott,  Host Marriott  Corporation  ("Host"),
Crestline Capital Corporation ("Crestline"),  Patriot American Hospitality Corp.
and Wyndham  International,  Inc.  (collectively  "Wyndham"),  Homestead Village
("Homestead"),  Candlewood  Hotel  Company  ("Candlewood")  and  ShoLodge,  Inc.
("ShoLodge").  The tables on the following  pages summarize the key terms of our
leases and the operating results of our tenants.

(1)  Amount includes $126.7 million  invested as of March 31, 1999, $10.2 million invested since March 31, 1999 and $64.7 million
     in commitments expected to be funded later in 1999.

(2)  Renewal options may be exercised by the tenant for all, but not less than all, of the hotels within a lease pool.

(3)  Each lease  provides for payment of a percentage of increases in total hotel sales over base year levels to us as additional
     rent.

(4)  Data  includes two hotels that were open for less than one full year as of March 31, 1999 and four which opened in the first
     quarter of 1998.

(5)  Data includes ten hotels open as of March 31, 1999, including three opened in 1999 and three opened in the fourth quarter of

Seasonality   

Our hotels have historically  experienced  seasonal  differences  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
expected to cause  fluctuations in our rental income because we believe that the
revenues generated by our hotels will be sufficient for the lessees to pay rents
on a regular basis notwithstanding seasonal fluctuations.

Year 2000

Our in-house  computer  systems  environment is limited to software and hardware
developed  by  third  parties  and  installed,  operated  and  monitored  by our
investment advisor.  All of our computer systems (which are limited to financial
reporting and accounting  systems) were installed  within the last two years and
we believe such systems are Year 2000 compliant.  All costs  associated with our
computer systems are borne by our investment advisor.

Our business is heavily  dependent  upon the efforts of our third party  tenants
and their  affiliates  which  operate  all of our  hotels.  Our leases and other
contractual   relationships   require  these  operators  to  conduct  the  daily
operations  of our  hotels  and the  scope  of the  operators'  responsibilities
includes  ensuring  preparedness  for the year  2000.  As such,  our  activities
related to year 2000 issues that might effect the systems used by our  operators
(which include reservations, financial, accounting, personnel, payroll, payables
and other systems) have been limited to inquiry and evaluation of our operators'
preparedness  and  contingency  plans.  Each tenant and operator as of March 31,
1999 (including Marriott, Host, Wyndham, Candlewood, Homestead and ShoLodge) has
responded to our inquiries related to the year 2000. Based on operator responses
to these  inquiries,  we believe  that  these  operators  are in the  process of
studying their systems and the systems of their  vendors,  suppliers and service
providors to ensure preparedness.  Current levels of preparedness are varied and
include  partially  completed  inventory  and  assessment  of  potential  risks,
testing,  implementation  of plans for remediation and  reprogramming.  While we
believe  the efforts of our tenants and their  contingency  plans  described  in
their responses will be or are adequate to address year 2000 concerns, there can
be no  guarantee  that the systems of other  companies  on which we rely will be
year 2000 compliant on a timely basis and will not have a material effect on us.
Our costs related to the year 2000 issues are expected to be zero.

If the  efforts of our  vendors  and  tenants to prepare  for the year 2000 were
ineffective,  our properties  could be subject to significant  adverse  effects,
including,  but not  limited  to,  loss of  business  and growth  opportunities,
reduced  revenues and increased  expenses which might cause operating  losses by
its tenants at their operating properties.  Continued or severe operating losses
may cause one or more of our  tenants to  ultimately  default  on their  leases.
Numerous lease  defaults could  jeopardize our ability to maintain our financial
results of operations and meet our financial operating and capital obligations.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to risks  associated  with interest  rate changes.  We manage our
exposure to this  market risk  through our  monitoring  of  available  financing
alternatives.  Our strategy to manage  exposure to changes in interest  rates is
unchanged from December 31, 1998. Furthermore, we do not foresee any significant
changes in our exposure to  fluctuations  in interest  rates or in how we manage
such exposure in the near future.  At March 31, 1999, our total outstanding debt
consisted of three issues of fixed rate, senior unsecured notes:

Principal Balance        Coupon        Maturity         Interest Payments Due
- -----------------        ------        --------         ---------------------
$115 million              8 1/4%         2005                  Monthly
$150 million              7%             2008               Semi-Annually
$150 million              8 1/2%         2009                  Monthly

No   principal   repayments   are  due  under  these   notes   until   maturity.
Hypothetically,  if at maturity  these notes were  refinanced at interest  rates
which are 1/2 percentage  point higher than shown above,  our per annum interest
cost  would  increase  by  approximately  $2  million.  Based  on  the  balances
outstanding as of March 31, 1999, a hypothetical  immediate 1/2 percentage point
change in  interest  rates  would  change  the fair value of our fixed rate debt
obligations by approximately $13 million.

Each of our fixed rate debt  arrangements  allow us to make  repayments  earlier
than the stated  maturity date. In some cases,  we are not allowed to make early
repayment  prior to a cutoff  date and in other  cases we are  allowed to make

                                       12
<PAGE>

prepayments  only at a premium to face  value.  In any event,  these  prepayment
rights may afford us the  opportunity  to mitigate  the risk of  refinancing  at
maturity at higher rates by refinancing at lower rates prior to maturity.

Our line of credit bears  interest at floating rates and has a maturity in 2002.
As March 31, 1999, there was $172,000 outstanding and $128,000 was available for
drawing under our revolving  credit  facility.  Our revolving credit facility is
available to finance our  acquisition  commitments.  As of March 31,  1999,  our
acquisition commitments totaled approximately $67,000 (excluding closing costs),
net of security deposits. Assuming these commitments were funded with borrowings
under our revolving credit facility,  and assuming  interest rates increased 1/2
percentage  point, our annualized  interest cost would increase by approximately
$335.  Repayments  under the revolving  credit  facility may be made at any time
without penalty.

                            CERTAIN IMPORTANT FACTORS

Our 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 our intent, belief or expectations, our Trustees or
officers with respect to the declaration or payment of distributions, the effect
of Year 2000 issues, our policies and plans regarding investments, financings or
other matters,  our qualification  and continued  qualification as a real estate
investment  trust or trends affecting us or our hotels'  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, our ability or
inability  to  complete  acquisitions  and  financing  transactions,  results of
operations  of our  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.
