Dear Lodgian Stockholder:

      Thank you for returning your WHITE proxy for the Annual Meeting of
Stockholders of Lodgian, Inc., scheduled to be held on October 12, 2000. We are
assisting Lodgian's board of directors (the "Board of Directors") with the
solicitation of proxies from Lodgian stockholders.

      To avoid the possibility of your vote being challenged or disqualified for
the reason(s) indicated below, we ask that you sign, date and mail the enclosed
new WHITE proxy in the postage-paid envelope provided. As a reminder, the Board
of Directors recommends a vote FOR nominees Michael A. Leven and John M. Lang
and AGAINST the By-Law Resolution Proposed by the Yung Group.

|_|   Your previous proxy was unsigned or not legible. (If signing as attorney,
      executor, administrator, corporate officer, authorized officer of a
      partnership, trustee or guardian, please sign and give your full title as
      such.)

|_|   Your previous proxy was undated. (Please date and sign to conform with the
      name shown on the proxy.)

|_|   Your previous proxy was not signed by all owners. (If shares are
      registered in the name of more than one person, each person should sign
      the proxy. If a joint tenant is deceased, please indicate that you are the
      surviving joint owner. If a tenant-in-common is deceased, the proxy should
      be signed by the executor or administrator of the deceased
      tenant-in-common, and proof of such person's status as executor or
      administrator should be sent with the proxy.)

|_|   Your previous proxy omitted your title or authority. (If signing as
      attorney, executor, administrator, corporate officer, authorized officer
      of a partnership, trustee or guardian, please sign and give your full
      title as such.)

|_|   Your previous proxy, as marked, did not clearly specify your voting
      instructions. (Please sign, date and clearly mark your proxy.)

|_|   Other ____________________________________________________________________

      The Annual Meeting will be held on Thursday, October 12, 2000. Since time
is short, we would sincerely appreciate your signing, dating and promptly
mailing the enclosed WHITE proxy card today.

      If you have any questions or need assistance in voting your shares, please
call us toll-free at 1-800-769-6414. Thank you for your cooperation.

                                                Very truly yours,

                                                D.F. KING & CO., INC.
