Our records indicate that you are a former stockholder of Servico, Inc. Based on a statement contained in Lodgian's 1999 proxy materials, we had believed that former Servico stockholders who, like yourself, had not formally exchanged their share certificates for Lodgian share certificates were not entitled to vote at Lodgian's 2000 annual meeting. We now understand that this is not the case. Accordingly, we have enclosed our proxy materials for your consideration, and ask that you disregard any statement in our proxy materials disclaiming your right to vote at the annual meeting. Thank you for your support. Sincerely, William J. Yung President Edgecliff Holdings, LLC
