                             BOYKIN LODGING COMPANY

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 31, 1998

               (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)


1.   ORGANIZATION AND INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING:
     -----------------------------------------

     Boykin Lodging Company (the "Company") is a self-administered equity real
estate investment trust ("REIT") that was incorporated February 8, 1996 to
acquire equity interests in hotel properties. The Company had no operations
prior to November 4, 1996. On November 4, 1996, the Company completed an initial
public offering of 8,275,000 common shares. An additional 1,241,250 common
shares were issued by the Company on November 29, 1996 upon an exercise in-full
of the underwriters' over-allotment option (together with the initial public
offering, the "Initial Offering"). The offering price of all shares sold was $20
per share, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $190,325 and net
proceeds (less the underwriters' discount and offering expenses) of
approximately $173,898. The Company contributed all of the net proceeds of the
Initial Offering to Boykin Hotel Properties, L.P., a limited partnership (the
"Partnership") in exchange for (i) an 84.5% general partnership interest in the
Partnership, and (ii) a $40,000 Intercompany Convertible Note (the "Note"). The
Note matures on the fifth anniversary of the closing of the Initial Offering.
Interest on the Note accrues at a rate equal to 9.5% per annum, increasing to
9.75% per annum on the third anniversary of the completion of the Initial
Offering, and is payable quarterly. The Note may be prepaid in full, but not in
part, at any time. The Company will have the right to convert the Note after the
second anniversary of the completion of the Initial Offering, and prior to
maturity and in advance of any proposed prepayment by the Partnership, into
additional equity interests in the Partnership at face value based on the
initial offering price of the Company's common shares. The Company is the sole
general partner of the Partnership. The Note is secured by mortgages on certain
hotel properties.

     The Partnership used a substantial portion of the proceeds from the Company
and issued limited partnership interests representing approximately 15.5% of the
Partnership to acquire nine hotel properties (the "Initial Hotels"). In 1997,
the Company acquired interests in eight additional hotels and two more during
the first quarter of 1998, bringing the total number of hotels owned at March
31, 1998 to 19 with an aggregate of 5,136 guest rooms (collectively, the
"Hotels"). The Partnership and its subsidiaries lease fifteen of the Hotels to
Boykin Management Company Limited Liability Company, an Ohio limited liability
company ("BMC"), two Hotels to CapStar Hotel Company ("CapStar"), one Hotel to
Davidson Hotel Company ("Davidson") and one Hotel to Outrigger Lodging Services
("Outrigger") pursuant to leases which contain provisions for rent based on the
revenues of the Hotels (the Percentage Leases). Each Percentage Lease obligates
the lessees' to pay rent equal to the greater of the minimum rent or a
percentage rent based on the gross revenues of each hotel. The lessees hold the
franchise agreement for each franchised hotel. The Partnership owns a 100%
equity interest in the fifteen Hotels leased by BMC. The remaining four Hotels
are owned by joint ventures, three of which the Partnership has a 91% equity
interest and the other an 80% equity interest. The minority interests in these
Hotels are owned by CapStar, Davidson and Outrigger, or their affiliates,
respectively. BMC is owned by Robert W. Boykin, Chairman, President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company (53.8%) and his brother, John E. Boykin
(46.2%).

     Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, the limited partners of the
Partnership received exchange rights, which enable them to cause the Partnership
to pay cash for their interests in the Partnership, or at the Company's
election, to exchange common shares for such interests. The exchange rights may
be exercised in whole or in part. The number of common shares initially issuable
to the limited partners upon exercise of the exchange rights was 1,378,000. The
number of shares issuable upon exercise of the exchange rights will be adjusted
upon the occurrence of stock splits, mergers, consolidations or similar pro rata
share transactions, which otherwise would have the effect of diluting the
ownership interests of the limited partners or the shareholders of the Company.

Basis of Presentation
---------------------

     The Company exercises unilateral control over the Partnership. Therefore,
the financial statements of the Company and the Partnership are consolidated.
All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

     These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
1998. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the period ended December 31, 1997.


2.   FOLLOW-ON EQUITY OFFERING AND PURCHASE OF PARTNERSHIP UNITS:
     ------------------------------------------------------------

     In February 1998, the Company completed a follow-on equity offering (the
"Offering") of 4,500,000 common shares. The Offering price of the shares was $25
per share, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $112,500 and net
proceeds (less the underwriters' discount and offering expenses) of
approximately $106,313. The Company contributed all of the net proceeds to the
Partnership which were used by the Partnership to pay existing indebtedness
under the Company's credit facility, purchase limited partnership units from two
unaffiliated limited partners, fund the acquisitions of two hotels purchased in
March 1998 (Note 6) and for general corporate purposes.

     The Company purchased 40,976 outstanding limited partnership units for
aggregate cash consideration of $967. The excess of the aggregate purchase price
paid over the capital account balances of the units purchased was $562 and was
recorded as additional investment in hotel properties.

     As a result of the Offering and the purchase of the limited partnership
units, the Company increased its ownership percentage in the Partnership to
90.3%


3.   PROPOSED MERGER WITH RED LION INNS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP:
     -------------------------------------------------------

     The Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the "Merger
Agreement") on December 30, 1997 with Red Lion Inns Limited Partnership ("Red
Lion"), under which the Company agreed to acquire the portfolio of 10
DoubleTree-licensed hotels owned by Red Lion (the "DoubleTree Hotels"). If the
proposed merger is consummated, the DoubleTree Hotels will continue to be
managed by DoubleTree Hotels Corporation and will be leased to Westboy LLC, a
wholly-owned subsidiary of BMC. Under the Merger Agreement, the Company will
issue 3,110,048 common shares and pay approximately $35,300 in cash to the Red
Lion limited partners and general partner. The Partnership will become
responsible for Red Lion's liabilities, which the Company estimates will be
approximately $156,000. At the time of the announcement of the Merger Agreement,
the consideration value was expected to total approximately $271,250.


4.   NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
     -------------------------

     Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which
requires disclosure of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as changes
in shareholders' equity from nonowner sources. SFAS No. 130 is not applicable to
the Company as it has no items of other comprehensive income, as defined.


                                       -8-

<PAGE>   9



     In April 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5 "Reporting on the Costs of
Start-Up Activities" which is effective for the Company as of January 1, 1999.
This SOP requires start-up and organization costs to be expensed as incurred and
also requires previously deferred start-up costs to be recognized as a
cumulative effect adjustment in the statement of income. In the opinion of
management, the effect of adopting this SOP will not have a material impact on
the Company's consolidated financial statements.


5.   NET INCOME PER SHARE AND PARTNERSHIP UNITS:
     -------------------------------------------

     The Company's basic and diluted earnings per share for three months ended
March 31, 1998 under SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" are as follows:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                   <C>  
         Basic earnings per common share              $ .32
         Diluted earnings per common share            $ .32
</TABLE>

     Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period whereas diluted earnings per share adjusts
the weighted average shares outstanding for the effect of all dilutive
securities. The weighted average number of shares used in determining basic and
diluted earnings per share was 11,342,000 and 11,447,000, respectively, for the
three months ended March 31, 1998. At March 31, 1998, a total of 1,291,000
limited partnership units were issued and outstanding. The basic and diluted
weighted average number of common shares and limited partnership units
outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was 12,658,000 and
12,763,000, respectively.


6.   ACQUISITIONS OF HOTEL PROPERTIES:
     ---------------------------------

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company acquired, in a single
transaction, two hotel properties for an aggregate consideration of $37,000
which was funded with cash proceeds from the Offering and borrowings under the
Company's credit facility. The hotel properties acquired were the 317-room
Knoxville Hilton in Knoxville, Tennessee and the 251-room High Point Radisson in
High Point, North Carolina. These properties are leased to and managed by BMC
under long-term Percentage Leases. The acquisitions were accounted for as
purchases and accordingly, the operating results of the acquired properties have
been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements commencing
on the date of acquisition.


7.   CREDIT FACILITY:
     ----------------

     The Company has a credit facility with a group of banks which enables the
Company to borrow up to $150,000, subject to borrowing base and loan-to-value
limitations, at a rate of interest that fluctuates at LIBOR plus 1.40% to 1.75%
(7.19% at March 31, 1998), as defined. The Company is required to pay a .25% fee
on the unused portion of the credit facility. The credit facility expires in
November 1999, with an additional one-year extension at the Company's option,
and is secured by first mortgages on thirteen of the Hotels. As of March 31,
1998 and December 31, 1997, the Company had $91,750 and $31,200, respectively,
outstanding against the credit facility.

     The credit facility requires, among other things, the Company to maintain a
minimum net worth, a coverage ratio of EBITDA to debt service, and a coverage
ratio of EBITDA to debt service and fixed charges. Further, the Company is
required to maintain its franchise agreement at each Hotel and to maintain its
REIT status. The Company was in compliance with its covenants at March 31, 1998
and December 31, 1997.

8.   PERCENTAGE LEASE AGREEMENTS:
     ----------------------------

     The Percentage Leases have noncancelable remaining terms ranging from three
to 10 years, subject to earlier termination on the occurrence of certain
contingencies, as defined. The rent due under each Percentage Lease is the

                                       -9-

<PAGE>   10



greater of minimum rent, as defined , or percentage rent. Percentage rent
applicable to room and other hotel revenue varies by lease and is calculated by
multiplying fixed percentages by the total amounts of such revenues over
specified threshold amounts. Both the minimum rent and the revenue thresholds
used in computing percentage rents are subject to annual adjustments based on
increases in the United States Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). Percentage rent
applicable to food and beverage revenues is calculated by multiplying fixed
percentages by the total amounts of such revenues. Percentage Lease revenue for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 was $10,859 and $7,208,
respectively, of which approximately $2,302 and $2,172, respectively, was in
excess of minimum rent.

     Future minimum rentals (ignoring future CPI increases) to be received by
the Company from BMC and from other lessees pursuant to the Percentage Leases
for each of the years in the period 1998 to 2002 and in total thereafter are as
follows:

9.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
     ---------------------------

     The Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company is the
majority shareholder of BMC. BMC was a significant source of the Company's
Percentage Lease revenue through March 31, 1998. At March 31, 1998 and December
31, 1997, the Company had rent receivable of $1,547 and $897, respectively, due

                            BOYKIN MANAGEMENT COMPANY

                   LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 31, 1998

                          (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)


1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS:
     ------------------------

     Boykin Management Company Limited Liability Company and its subsidiaries
(collectively, "BMC") (i) lease and operate full and limited service hotels
located throughout the United States pursuant to long-term percentage leases;
(ii) manage full and limited service hotels located throughout the United States
pursuant to management agreements; (iii) provide national purchasing services to
hotels, and (iv) provide interior design services to hotels and other
businesses.


2.   ORGANIZATION:
     -------------

     BMC commenced operations on November 4, 1996 as an Ohio limited liability
company. BMC is indirectly owned by Robert W. Boykin (53.8%) and John E. Boykin
(46.2%). Robert W. Boykin is the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
of Boykin Lodging Company (the "Company").

     Pursuant to formation transactions related to the November 4, 1996 initial
public offering of the Company, Boykin Management Company ("former BMC") and
Bopa Design Company (doing business as Spectrum Services), wholly owned
subsidiaries of The Boykin Company ("TBC"), were merged into subsidiaries of
BMC. In addition, Purchasing Concepts, Inc. ("PCI") contributed its assets to a
subsidiary of BMC and that subsidiary assumed PCI's liabilities. TBC and PCI are
related through common ownership. BMC and its subsidiaries are the successors to
the businesses of former BMC, Spectrum Services and PCI. As BMC, former BMC,
Spectrum Services and PCI were related through common ownership, there were no
purchase accounting adjustments to the historical carrying values of the assets
and liabilities of former BMC, Spectrum Services and PCI upon merger into or
contribution to the subsidiaries of BMC. In connection with the formation of
BMC, certain assets and liabilities of nine of the BMC Hotels (Note 5) were
assumed by BMC.


3.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
     ----------------------

     These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for the interim financial information and with
the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating
results for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31,
1998. For further information, refer to BMC's consolidated financial statements
and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the period ended December 31, 1997.


4.   NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS:
     -------------------------

     Effective January 1, 1998, BMC adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which requires
disclosure of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of
general-purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is defined as changes
in members' capital from nonowner sources, which for BMC, consist of differences
between the cost basis and fair market value of its

                                      -14-

<PAGE>   15



investment of 20,000 common shares in the Company . For the quarter ended March
31, 1998, there were no differences between net income and comprehensive income.


5.   PERCENTAGE LEASE AGREEMENTS:
     ----------------------------

     BMC leases 15 hotels (the "BMC Hotels") from the Partnership, pursuant to
long-term leases (Percentage Leases). The BMC Hotels are located in Cleveland,
Ohio (2); Columbus, Ohio; Buffalo, New York; Berkeley, California; Raleigh,
North Carolina; Charlotte, North Carolina (2); High Point, North Carolina;
Knoxville, Tennessee; Ft. Myers, Florida; Melbourne, Florida (2); Daytona Beach,
Florida; and French Lick, Indiana.

     The Percentage Leases have noncancellable remaining terms ranging from
three to ten years, subject to earlier termination on the occurrence of certain
contingencies, as defined. The Percentage Leases do not contain renewal terms.
BMC is required to pay the higher of minimum rent, as defined, or a percentage
rent. Percentage rent applicable to room and other hotel revenue varies by lease
and is calculated by multiplying fixed percentages by the total amounts of such
revenues over specified threshold amounts. Percentage rent related to food and
beverage revenues is generally at 6% of such revenues. Both the threshold
amounts used in computing percentage rent and minimum rent on room and other
hotel revenues are subject to annual adjustments as of January 1 of each year
based on increases in the United States Consumer Price Index.

     Other than real estate and personal property taxes, casualty insurance and
capital improvements, which are obligations of the Partnership, the Percentage
Leases require BMC to pay all costs and expenses incurred in the operation of
the BMC Hotels.

     The Percentage Leases require BMC to indemnify the Company against all
liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by, imposed on or asserted against the
Partnership in the normal course of operating the BMC Hotels.


6.   PERCENTAGE LEASE AGREEMENT WITH RED LION:
     -----------------------------------------

     The Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger
Agreement") on December 30, 1997 with Red Lion Inns Limited Partnership ("Red
Lion"), under which the Company agreed to acquire the portfolio of 10
DoubleTree-licensed hotels owned by Red Lion (the "DoubleTree Hotels"). The
DoubleTree Hotels contain 3,062 guest rooms and are located in California,
Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Idaho and Nebraska. Effective January 1, 1998, the
Doubletree Hotels were leased or subleased to Westboy LLC, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of BMC. Pursuant to this lease agreement, Westboy LLC is required to
pay a base monthly rental of $1,700 plus a percentage rental. The lessor is
responsible for certain costs of the DoubleTree Hotels, including property
taxes, property insurance, capital expenditures, depreciation expense and ground
lease rental. If the proposed merger is consummated, the Doubletree Hotels will
continue to be managed by DoubleTree and to be leased to Westboy LLC.


7.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
     ---------------------------

     At March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 BMC had receivables from the
Partnership of $2,339 and $1,069, respectively, primarily for the reimbursement
of capital expenditure costs incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

     At March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 BMC had payables to the Partnership
of $1,547 and $897, respectively, for amounts due pursuant to the Percentage
Leases.

ITEM 2.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

BACKGROUND

     Boykin Lodging Company, an Ohio corporation (the "Company"), is a
self-administered equity real estate investment trust ("REIT") that owns hotels
throughout the United States and leases its properties to established hotel
operators. The Company's primary business strategies are:
         -    acquiring full service commercial and resort hotels on an 
              accretive basis and at a discount to replacement cost;
         -    developing strategic alliances and relationships with both a
              network of high quality lessees and franchisors of the hotel
              industry's premier upscale brands, and;
         -    achieving revenue growth in its hotels through selective
              renovation and its lessees' strong management performance.

     On November 4, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering (the
"Initial Offering") of 8,275,000 shares. An additional 1,241,250 common shares
were issued by the Company on November 29, 1996 upon an exercise in full of the
underwriters' over-allotment option. The net proceeds to the Company from these
transactions were $173.9 million. The Company contributed all of the net
proceeds to Boykin Hotel Properties, L.P., an Ohio limited partnership (the
"Partnership") in exchange for (i) an 84.5% general partnership interest in the
Partnership, and (ii) a $40 million intercompany convertible note (the "Note").
The Note matures on the fifth anniversary of the Initial Offering. On conversion
of the Note, the Company will receive an additional general partnership interest
in the Partnership of 1.3%. The Company is the sole general partner of the
Partnership.

     The Partnership used a substantial portion of the proceeds from the Company
and issued limited partnership interests representing approximately 15.5% of the
Partnership to acquire nine hotel properties (the "Initial Hotels"). In 1997,
the Company acquired interests in eight additional hotels and two more during
the first quarter of 1998, bringing the total number of hotels owned at March
31, 1998 to 19 with an aggregate of 5,136 guest rooms (collectively, the
"Hotels"). The Partnership and its subsidiaries lease fifteen of the Hotels to
Boykin Management Company Limited Liability Company, an Ohio limited liability
company ("BMC"), two Hotels to CapStar Hotel Company ("CapStar"), one Hotel to
Davidson Hotel Company ("Davidson") and one Hotel to Outrigger Lodging Services
("Outrigger") pursuant to leases which contain provisions for rent based on the
revenues of the Hotels (the Percentage Leases). The Partnership owns a 100%
equity interest in the fifteen Hotels leased by BMC. The remaining four Hotels
are owned by joint ventures, three of which the Partnership has a 91% equity
interest and the other an 80% equity interest. The minority interests in these
Hotels are owned by CapStar, Davidson and Outrigger, or their affiliates,
respectively.

     On December 30, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of
merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Red Lion Inns Limited Partnership ("Red
Lion"), under which the Company agreed to acquire the portfolio of 10
DoubleTree-licensed hotels owned by Red Lion (the "DoubleTree Hotels"). The
DoubleTree Hotels contain 3,062 guest rooms and are located in California,
Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Idaho and Nebraska. If the proposed merger is
consummated, the DoubleTree Hotels will continue to be managed by DoubleTree
Hotels Corporation and will be leased to Westboy LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary
of BMC. Under the Merger Agreement, the Company will issue 3,110,048 common
shares and pay approximately $35.3 million in cash to the Red Lion limited
partners and general partner. The Partnership will become responsible for Red
Lion's liabilities, which the Company estimates will be approximately $156
million. At the time of the announcement of the Merger Agreement, the
consideration value was expected to total approximately $271 million. The
Company expects to complete the proposed merger in May 1998. Consummation of the
proposed merger is subject to various conditions, including approval by the Red
Lion limited partners and approval by the Company's shareholders of the issuance
of the common shares. There is no assurance that the proposed merger will be
completed.

     The Company's principal source of revenue is lease payments from its
lessees' pursuant to the Percentage Leases. Percentage Lease revenue is based
upon the room, food and beverage and other revenues of the Company's hotels. The
lessees' ability to make payments to the Company pursuant to the Percentage
Leases is dependent

                                      -16-

<PAGE>   17



primarily upon the operations of the Hotels. Because of the foregoing and the
significance of BMC to the Company, management believes that a discussion of the
operations of BMC is important to an understanding of the business of the
Company.

FIRST QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

     In February 1998, the Company completed a follow-on equity offering (the
"Offering") of 4,500,000 common shares, pursuant to the Company's $300 million
shelf registration statement, which provides for the issuance of up to $300
million in securities over the next two years . The Offering price of the shares
was $25 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $112.5 million
and net proceeds (less the underwriters' discount and offering expenses) of
approximately $106.3 million. The Company contributed all of the net proceeds to
the Partnership which were used by the Partnership to pay existing indebtedness
under the Company's $150 million credit facility, purchase limited partnership
units from two unaffiliated limited partners, fund the acquisitions of two
Hotels purchased in March 1998 and for general corporate purposes. As a result
of the Offering and the purchase of the limited partnership units, the Company
increased its ownership percentage in the Partnership to 90.3%.

     During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company acquired, in a single
transaction, two hotel properties for an aggregate consideration of $37 million
which was funded with cash proceeds from the Offering and borrowings under the
Company's credit facility. The hotel properties acquired were the 317-room
Knoxville Hilton in Knoxville, Tennessee and the 251-room High Point Radisson in
High Point, North Carolina. These properties are leased to and managed by BMC
under long-term Percentage Leases.

     In January 1998, the Company reopened the Daytona Beach Radisson Resort
following a complete $7 million renovation of the hotel. During the first
quarter of 1998, the Company also continued its $3.6 million renovation of the
Crabtree Holiday Inn in Raleigh, North Carolina and began significant
renovations at the Berkeley Marina Radisson and the Cleveland Airport Marriott
(estimated at $6 million each). The Company expects to complete these
renovations in the second and third quarters of 1998 and the Company expects
that these properties will be adversely impacted during the renovation periods.
Once complete, however, the Company expects these hotels to contribute
significantly to earnings going forward. The Company also began a $1.5 million
renovation at the Holiday Inn Minneapolis West and $2 million of general
upgrades at the French Lick Springs Resort. Management expects the capital
expenditures of these properties to improve their operating results and should
not be adversely impacted of the magnitude of the Crabtree, Berkeley and
Cleveland Airport hotels.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discusses (i) the Company's results of operations for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997, and (ii) BMC's
results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same
period in 1997.

THE COMPANY

     For the three months ended March 31, 1998 Percentage Lease revenue
increased to $10.9 million, or 50.7%, from $7.2 million for the same period in
1997. The increase was primarily because of an increase in the number of Hotels
owned by the Company from 12 to 19 at March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively.
Percentage Lease revenue payable by BMC represented $8.6 million, or 79.6%, of
total Percentage Lease revenue, compared to 100% in 1997.

     Income before minority interests increased to $4.1 million in 1998 compared
to $3.8 million in 1997. As a percent of total revenue, income before minority
interest decreased to 37.3% in 1998 from 51.4% in 1997, primarily resulting from
(i) an increase in interest expense to $1.2 million in 1998, or 10.7%, of total
revenues in 1998, compared to $52, or .1%, in 1997, (ii) an increase in real
estate related depreciation and amortization, as a percent of total revenue,
from 26.1% in 1997 to 29.5% in 1998, and (iii) a slight increase in real estate
and personal property taxes, insurance, ground rent to 14.0% of total revenues
in 1998, compared to 13.7% in 1997, and (iv) an increase in general and
administrative expenses, as a percent of total revenues, from 6.6% in 1997 to
7.3% in 1998. Interest

                                      -17-

<PAGE>   18
expense in 1997 was unusually low due to minimal borrowings under the Company's
credit facility as the remaining funds from the Company's Initial Offering were
used to fund first quarter 1997 acquisitions.

     The Company's net income increased 7.9% to $3.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 1998, compared to $3.4 million in 1997. Minority interest
applicable to the operating partnership decreased to $380 in 1998, or 3.5%, of
total revenues, compared to $446, or 6.0%, in 1997. The common shares issued as
part of the February 1998 Offering had the effect of diluting the limited
partners ownership interests in the Partnership.

     The White Paper on Funds From Operations ("FFO") approved by the Board of
Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
("NAREIT") in March 1995 defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in
accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and
sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and
after comparable adjustments for the Company's portion of these items related to
unconsolidated entities and joint ventures. The Company believes that FFO is
helpful to investors as a measure of the performance of an equity REIT because,
along with cash flow from operating activities, financing activities and
investing activities, it provides investors with an indication of the ability of
the Company to incur and service debt, to make capital expenditures and to fund
other cash needs. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards
established by NAREIT which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs
that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or
that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company. FFO
does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined by GAAP
and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in
accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company's financial performance or
to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a
measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to
fund the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions.
FFO may include funds that may not be available for management's discretionary
use due to functional requirements to conserve funds for capital expenditures
and property acquisitions, and other commitments and uncertainties. The
following is a reconciliation between net income and FFO for the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, (in thousands):

BMC

     For the quarter ended March 31, 1998 BMC's hotel revenues increased 123.8%,
to $51.4 million, compared to $23.0 million for the same period in 1997. The
increase was attributable to an increase in the number of hotels leased by BMC
from 12 to 25 at March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively, primarily because of the
January 1, 1998 commencement of the Percentage Lease related to the 10
DoubleTree Hotels leased by Westboy LLC. The DoubleTree Hotels contributed $25.0
million of revenues to BMC during the quarter ended March 31, 1998. The
remaining increase in hotel revenues resulted from an additional three hotels
leased from the Partnership. BMC recorded a net loss of $1.1 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared to $538 of net income in 1997. The loss in
1998 was primarily due to the seasonality of the majority of new hotels leased
which experience their lowest occupancy in the first quarter compared to the
other three quarters of the year. These hotels were expected to

                                      -18-

<PAGE>   19



experience a loss in the first quarter resulting from their requirement to pay
minimum rent under the respective Percentage Leases.

     The Percentage Lease expense for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased
104.4%, to $14.7 million, compared to $7.2 million for the same period in 1997.
Percentage Lease expense in 1998 of $6.1 million related to the DoubleTree
Hotels was the primary reason for the increase. The remaining increase in
Percentage Lease expense resulted from the increased number of hotels leased
from the Partnership. Departmental and other hotel operating expenses,
consisting primarily of rooms expenses, food and beverage costs, franchise fees,
utilities, repairs and maintenance, management fees, and other general and
administrative expenses of the hotels were $38.3 million in the quarter ended
March 31, 1998 compared to $15.8 million for the same period in 1997. As a
percent of hotel revenues, the departmental and other hotel operating expenses
increased to 74.5% in 1998 from 68.9% in 1997 primarily because of $1.8 million
of management fee expense to DoubleTree, the manager of the DoubleTree Hotels,
pursuant to a management agreement between Westboy LLC and DoubleTree.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's principal source of cash to meet its cash requirements,
including distributions to shareholders, is its share of the Partnership's cash
flow from the Percentage Leases. The lessees' obligations under the Percentage
Leases are unsecured and the lessees' ability to make rent payments to the
Partnership under the Percentage Leases, and the Company's liquidity, including
its ability to make distributions to shareholders, are dependent on the lessees'
ability to generate sufficient cash flow from the operation of the Hotels.

     On March 31, 1998, the Company had $2.8 million of cash and cash
equivalents and had outstanding borrowings totaling $31.2 million against its
credit facility. On May 1, 1998, the Company acquired the 208-room Pink Shell
Resort in Fort Myers Beach, Florida for net cash consideration of $19.3 million,
after $2 million of purchase price funded by South Seas Resorts ("South Seas"),
the lessee of the hotel. The acquisition was funded through borrowings under the
Company's credit facility. The borrowings under the Company's credit facility
increased to $57.2 million on May 1, 1998 to fund the acquisition of the Pink
Shell Resort and to fund capital expenditures, primarily for renovations.

     For information relating to the terms of the Company's current $150 million
credit facility, reference is made to Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements of Boykin Lodging Company discussed within this Form 10-Q.
The Company obtained its credit facility to assist in funding its acquisitions
and development of additional hotels and for certain other purposes, including
capital expenditures and working capital, as necessary.

     The Company has obtained a commitment for a new unsecured credit facility
of up to $250 million, to be available on completion of the Proposed Merger. The
Company also obtained a commitment for a $130 million 10-year term loan (the
"Fixed Rate Loan") secured by the Doubletree Hotels, with a rate of interest at
a spread over the 10-year United States Treasury Bond upon closing of the loan.
Interest only will be paid for the first two years, with principal repayments
commencing in the third loan year based on a 25-year amortization schedule. The
Company anticipates that the Fixed Rate Loan and new credit facility will enable
the Company to finance the Proposed Merger and to meet its anticipated cash
needs for the next year. The Company may seek to negotiate additional credit
facilities, or issue debt instruments. Any debt incurred or issued by the
Company may be secured or unsecured, long-term, medium-term or short-term, bear
interest at a fixed or variable rate, and be subject to such other terms as the
Board of Directors considers prudent.

     The Company estimates that on a pro forma basis, giving effect to the
purchase of the Pink Shell Resort in May 1998, the closing of the Proposed
Merger, and the borrowings under the Fixed Rate Loan and the new credit
facility, the Company would have approximately $254 million in outstanding
indebtedness and available borrowing capacity under the new credit facility of
$126 million.

     The Company will acquire or develop additional hotel properties only as
suitable opportunities arise, and the Company will not undertake acquisition or
development of properties unless adequate sources of financing are available.
Funds for future acquisitions or development of hotels are expected to be
derived, in whole or in part,

                                      -19-

<PAGE>   20



from borrowings under the Fixed Rate Loan, credit facility or other borrowings
or from the proceeds of additional issuances of Common Shares or other
securities. In November 1997, the Company filed a shelf registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the issuance of up to $300
million in securities over the next two years. Securities issued under this
registration statement may be preferred shares, depository shares, common shares
or any combination thereof and may be issued at different times, depending on
market conditions. Warrants to purchase these securities may also be issued. The
terms of issuance of any securities covered by this registration statement would
be determined at the time of their offering. The $112.5 million of common shares
sold in the Offering were sold under this registration statement.

     The Percentage Leases require the Company to establish aggregate minimum
reserves for capital expenditures equal to specified percentages of total
revenues of the Hotels. In addition, the Company intends to make funds available
from the Credit Facility, as needed. The Company intends to use the reserve for
capital improvements to the Hotels and refurbishment and replacement of FF&E,
but may make other uses of amounts reserved that it considers appropriate from
time to time. The Company anticipates making similar arrangements with respect
to future hotels that it may acquire or develop. During the quarter ended March
31, 1998, the Company made $7.4 million of capital expenditures. The Company
considers the majority of these improvements to be revenue-producing and
therefore these amounts have been capitalized and are being depreciated over
their estimated useful lives.

INFLATION

     The Company's revenues are based on the Percentage Leases, which result in
changes in the Company's revenues based on changes in the revenues of the
Hotels. Therefore, the Company relies entirely on the performance of the Hotels
and the lessees' ability to increase revenues to keep pace with inflation.
Operators of hotels in general, and the Company's lessees, can change room rates
quickly, but competitive pressures may limit the lessees' ability to raise rates
faster than inflation.

     The Company's general and administrative costs, as well as real estate and
personal property taxes, property and casualty insurance and ground rent, are
subject to inflation.

SEASONALITY

     The Hotels' operations historically have been seasonal. Fifteen of the
Hotels maintain higher occupancy rates during the second and third quarters. The
four Hotels located in Florida, and the Pink Shell Resort, also located in
Florida, experience their highest occupancy rates in the first quarter. The
seasonality pattern can be expected to cause fluctuations in the Company's
quarterly lease revenue under the Percentage Leases. The Company anticipates
that its cash flow from the Percentage Leases will be sufficient to enable the
Company to make quarterly distributions at the current rate for the next twelve
months. To the extent that cash flow from operations is insufficient during any
quarter because of temporary or seasonal fluctuations in Percentage Lease
revenue, the Company expects to utilize cash on hand or borrowings to make those
distributions. No assurance can be given that the Company will make
distributions in the future at the current rate, or at all.

ITEM 3.           QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

                                     PART II


ITEM 1.           LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that
arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the
amount of any ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not
materially affect the financial statements of the Company.

ITEM 2.           CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

         In February 1998, the Company completed the Offering of 4,500,000
common shares, pursuant to the Company's $300 million shelf registration
statement, which provides for the issuance of up to $300 million in securities
over the next two years . The Offering price of the shares was $25 per share,
resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $112.5 million and net proceeds
(less the underwriters' discount and offering expenses) of approximately $106.3
million. The Company contributed all of the net proceeds to the Partnership
which were used by the Partnership to pay existing indebtedness under the
Company's $150 million credit facility, purchase limited partnership units from
two unaffiliated limited partners, fund the acquisitions of two Hotels purchased
in March 1998 and for general corporate purposes.

ITEM 3.           DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

                           FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
                           --------------------------

         This Form 10-Q contains statements that constitute forward-looking
statements. Those statements appear in a number of places in this Form 10-Q and
the documents incorporated by reference herein and include statements regarding
the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, its directors or its
officers with respect to (i) the leasing, management or performance of the
Hotels, the DoubleTree Hotels and other hotels to be acquired; (ii) the adequacy
of reserves for renovation and refurbishment; (iii) potential acquisitions by
the Company, including the Proposed Merger; (iv) the Company's financing plans;
and (v) trends affecting the Company's or any hotel's financial condition or
results of operations.

         Prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking
statement is not a guarantee of future performance and involves risks and
uncertainties, and that actual results may differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statement as a result of various factors. The information
contained in this Form 10-Q and in the documents incorporated by reference
herein identifies important factors that could cause such differences. With
respect to any such forward-looking statement that includes a statement of its
underlying assumptions or bases, the Company cautions that, while it believes
such assumptions or bases to be reasonable and has formed them in good faith,
assumed facts or bases almost always vary from actual results, and the
differences between assumed facts or bases and actual results can be material
depending on the circumstances. When, in any forward-looking statement, the
Company or its management expresses an expectation or belief as to future
results, that expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and is believed
to have a reasonable basis, but there can be no assurance that the stated
expectation or belief will result or be achieved or accomplished.
