                  Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

      On November 17, 1996, the Company acquired 12 hotel properties, consisting
of 8 Fairfield Inns by Marriott(R) and 4 Cricket Inns, from SB Motel Corp., a
subsidiary of Salomon Brothers Inc. and the subsidiaries of SB Motel Corp. which
had been formed to hold each such hotel, pursuant to an Agreement of Purchase
and Sale dated September 27, 1996 among the Company and its subsidiary, Hudson
Hotels Properties Corp. as Purchaser and SB Motel Albany Corp., SB Motel
Charleston Corp., SB Motel Richmond Corp., SB Motel Durham-Research Triangle
Park Corp., SB Motel Cary Corp., SB Motel Statesville Corp., SB Motel Wilmington
Corp., SB Motel Columbia Corp., SB Motel Virginia Beach Corp., SB Motel
Durham-Duke Corp., SB Motel Raleigh Corp., and SB Motel Charlotte I-85 Corp.
(the subsidiaries of SB Motel Corp. which held each property ) (the Sellers).
The Company acquired eleven of the properties into its newly-formed subsidiary,
HH Properties - I, Inc., and the twelfth, the Virginia Beach Cricket Inn, into
its newly formed subsidiary, HH Properties VB, Inc.

      The purchase price for the properties was $60,400,000, determined by
arms-length negotiation with the Sellers, after analysis and valuation by the
Company based upon historic and projected operating results of the properties.
The purchase price was paid by issuing 370,657 shares of Company common stock,
valued at $2,400,000, by issuing the Company's subordinated promissory note in
the amount of $3,000,000 (maturing November 27, 1997) to the Seller, and by
paying the balance of $55,000,000 in cash. The cash portion of the purchase
price was obtained a) by placing a $37,470,000 mortgage issued by Nomura
Asset Capital Corporation, on the properties purchased by HH Properties - I,
Inc. b) by the Company securing $17,000,000 of mezzanine financing from Nomura
Asset Capital Corporation, and c) by the Company utilizing $530,000 of its
available capital.

      There were no material relationships between the Company and the Seller
prior to the consummation of the acquisition. As a result of the acquisition, SB
Motel Corp. became a greater than 5% shareholder in the Company, and John Buza,
an officer of the Seller, became a director of the Company.

      In addition to the consideration stated above, the Company has agreed to
register the 370,657 shares issued to SB Motel Corp. for sale to the public
within 180 days following closing, and the Company has granted to Salomon
Brothers, Inc a right of first refusal to undertake equity offerings on behalf
of the Company.

      The following properties were acquired. Each such property was operated as
a hotel prior to the acquisition, and the Company intends to continue to operate
each property as a hotel thereafter.

      The purchase price for the properties was $60,400,000, determined by

The purchase price was paid by issuing 370,657 shares of Company common stock,

the amount of $3,000,000 (maturing November 27, 1997) to the Seller, and by
