Dear Former Servico Stockholder:

         We are the largest stockholder of Lodgian, Inc., and are currently
soliciting proxies to elect our nominees to Lodgian's Board of Directors and in
support of our stockholder proposal to be presented at Lodgian's 2000 annual
meeting.

         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
