                                CONSENT AGREEMENT

         THIS CONSENT AGREEMENT is executed and delivered as of the 31st day of
January, 1999 by JAMES F. WIRTH and GAIL J. WIRTH (collectively referred to
herein as the "Wirths"), RRF LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership
("RRFLP"), JAMES H. BERICK ("Berick"), and ALAN M. KRAUSE ("Krause") (Krause and
Berick are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the "Payees").

                                    RECITALS
                                    --------

         1. The Wirths executed and delivered promissory notes to each of Krause
and Berick on January 30, 1998, each note in the principal amount of Two Hundred
Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($225,000) (herein collectively referred to as the
"Wirth Promissory Notes"), in connection with the Wirths' acquisition of all of
the capital stock of Mid-America ReaFund Advisors, Inc., an Ohio corporation
("MARA"), from the Payees pursuant to a Purchase Agreement dated January 30,
1998 (the "MARA Purchase Agreement"). Copies of the Wirth Promissory Notes are
attached hereto as EXHIBIT A.

         2. As security for the payment of the liabilities and obligations
evidenced by the Wirth Promissory Notes, the Wirths also executed and delivered
pledge agreements to each of Krause and Berick on January 30, 1998 (the pledge
agreements collectively referred to herein as the "Pledge Agreements"), granting
to each of the Payees a security interest in the capital stock of MARA acquired
by the Wirths. Copies of the Pledge Agreements are attached hereto as EXHIBIT B.

         3. The termination of the Advisory Agreement dated as of January 31,
1998 between RRFLP and MARA (the "Advisory Agreement") constitutes an event of

request, Krause and Berick have each

agreed to waive such defaults under their respective Pledge Agreements in
consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth herein.

         4. In consideration of such waiver by Krause and Berick, RRFLP has
agreed unconditionally to guarantee the obligations of the Wirths under the
Wirth Promissory Notes.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

         1. CONFIRMATION OF INDEBTEDNESS. The Wirths hereby confirm to the
Payees that the execution of this Consent Agreement affects no obligation,
liability or agreement of the Wirths under the Wirth Promissory Notes, which
obligations remain unmodified and in full force and effect as the joint and
several obligations of the Wirths.

         2. CONSENT TO TERMINATION OF ADVISORY AGREEMENT. Each Payee, in
consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth herein, severally and
not jointly (a) consents to the termination of the Advisory Agreement and (b)
agrees to waive the resulting default under Section 7(f) of the respective
Pledge Agreement to which he is a party.

         3. RRFLP GUARANTEE OF OBLIGATIONS. In consideration of the Payees
consent to the termination of the Advisory Agreement and their waiver of default
under the Pledge Agreements, RRFLP hereby agrees to irrevocably guarantee to
Payees and their successor and assigns the full and due performance by the
Wirths of all of the terms, obligations, covenants, and agreements under the
Wirth Promissory Notes, as evidenced by the guarantee of even date herewith and
attached hereto as EXHIBIT C.

         4. REQUIRED PREPAYMENT OF THE WIRTH PROMISSORY NOTES. In consideration
of the Payees consent to the termination of the Advisory Agreement and their
waiver of default under the Pledge Agreements, the Wirths hereby agree that the
entire unpaid balance of the Wirth

Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon must be repaid within thirty
(30) days of the receipt of cumulative gross proceeds of Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000) or more by InnSuites Hospitality Trust, an Ohio unincorporated
real estate investment trust (the "Trust"), from any one or more debt or equity
offerings, whether public or private, of securities or obligations of the Trust.

         5. ATTORNEYS' FEES. RRFLP agrees to pay the reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred by both Krause and Berick in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Such payment shall be a condition
to the effectiveness of this Consent Agreement.

         6. SINGLE WAIVER. This waiver shall not apply to any other provisions
of the Wirth Promissory Notes or any other provisions of the Pledge Agreements.
The foregoing waiver is limited to its express terms and shall not be deemed a
waiver of any other event of default or possible default which may have existed
on or prior to the date hereof or which may arise hereafter under any provision
of the Wirth Promissory Notes or the Pledge Agreements. Further, the granting of
this waiver shall not be construed as an agreement or understanding by the
Payees to grant any other waiver or other accommodation in respect to the Wirth
Promissory Notes or the Pledge Agreements.

         7. OTHER DOCUMENTS. Payees, for themselves and their successors and
assigns, severally and not jointly, further agree, at RRFLP's request and
expense but without further consideration, to prepare, execute, acknowledge and
deliver to RRFLP or its designee such other instruments and acknowledgments, or
take such further action as RRFLP may reasonably request, to effectuate the
agreements contained herein.

         8. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
