contained in the Registration Statement and the Letter of Transmittal filed as an exhibit thereto. The Indenture, the Securities and the Guarantees are sometimes referred to herein collectively as the “Operative Documents.” Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

In our capacity as special counsel to the Covered Guarantor, in connection with such registration, we are familiar with the proceedings taken by the Covered Guarantor in connection with the authorization and issuance of the Indenture pursuant to which the Securities and the Covered Guaranty will be issued and have reviewed a signed copy of the Indenture bearing the signature of W. Edward Walter on behalf of the Company and John A. Carnella on behalf of each of the Guarantors, including the Covered Guarantor.

In addition, we have examined originals or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction of the following documents:

(i) the Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, dated as of June 18, 1987, as amended by an Amendment of Partnership Agreement, dated as of December 29, 1995, a Second Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, dated as of December 23, 1998, an Amendment to Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated as of December 27, 1998 and an Amendment to Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated as of December 28, 1998 (as so amended, the “Partnership Agreement”);

(ii) the Resolutions of the Board of Managers of Host LaJolla LLC, dated October 24, 2003; and

(iii) the Resolutions of the Board of Directors of Host Marriott Corporation, dated September 23, 2003.

The documents described in (i), (ii) and (iii) above are collectively referred to herein as the “Corporate Documents.” With respect to all factual matters, we have relied solely upon, and have assumed the accuracy, completeness and genuineness of, the representations, warranties and certificates contained in and made pursuant to, the Operative Documents and the Corporate Documents.

We have not served as general counsel for any of the parties to, nor have we been involved in the transactions contemplated in, the Operative Documents. We have represented the Covered Guarantor only with respect to the rendering of this opinion.

In rendering the opinions set forth below, we have relied, with your permission, upon the following specific assumptions, the accuracy of which we have not independently verified:

(i) Except for the Operative Documents, there are no other documents or agreements executed by or between any of the parties that would expand or otherwise modify the obligations of the Covered Guarantor under the Covered Guaranty or that would have any effect on the opinion rendered herein;

(ii) In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies and that the duly elected officers as identified and signed the Officer’s Certificate are the only parties which executed documents on behalf of the Covered Guarantor; and

(iii) The Partnership Agreement of the Covered Guarantor that has been provided to us is the current Partnership Agreement of the Covered Guarantor, and there have been no amendments to such Partnership Agreement that would have any effect on the opinion rendered herein.

We are members of the Bar of the State of Minnesota, and this opinion relates only to the laws of the State of Minnesota. We are not opining on the laws of any other jurisdiction or federal law, including federal securities law, or any state securities law, including Minnesota securities laws, and we express no opinion with respect to the applicability thereto, or the effect thereon, of the laws of any other jurisdiction, including the federal laws of the United States, or as to any matters of municipal law or the laws of any local agencies within any state.

Subject to the foregoing and the other matters set forth herein, it is our opinion that as of the date hereof:

(1) The Indenture has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Covered Guarantor and has been duly executed and delivered by the Covered Guarantor.

(2) The notation of Covered Guaranty to be endorsed on the Securities has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Covered Guarantor.

To the extent that the obligations of the Company and each Guarantor under the Operative Documents may be dependent upon such matters, we assume for purposes of this

opinion that the Trustee, Company and each Guarantor other than the Covered Guarantor: (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization; (b) has the requisite organizational and legal power and authority to perform its obligations under each of the Operative Documents to which it is a party; (c) is duly qualified to engage in the activities contemplated by each such Operative Document; and (d) has duly authorized, executed and delivered each such Operative Document.

This opinion is for the benefit of the addressees hereof and we consent to your filing this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the reference to our firm contained under the heading “Legal Matters” contained in the prospectus contained therein. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, this letter may not be quoted for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

Very truly yours,
