                     Management Discussion and Analysis
               of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
                              September 30, 1996

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Partnership has current assets of $1,210,947 which exceed its current
liabilities of $253,178 by $957,769. This surplus provides an operating reserve
equal to 19.2% of the Partnership's original capital raised. While the Partner-
ship agreement has no reserve requirement, the General Partner has set a
$250,000 target (5% of the Partnership's original capitalization).

As shown on the Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30,
1996, the Partnership's cash resources increased by $421,781 during the period
covered by this report as compared with an increase of $263,228 during the
corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year.  Other than operating cash
flow, additional borrowing against the properties is the only realistic source
of cash in the unlikely event that reserves do not satisfy the Partnership's
future cash requirements.

Due to the improved performance of the Partnership's motels, the General
Partners expect to increase the quarterly distribution from $27.50 per units
to $30.00 per unit starting with the fourth distribution of 1996 to be made on
or around November 15, 1996.

During the nine month period covered by this report, the Partnership's
expenditures for replacements and renovation totaled $65,221 or 2.4% of guest
room revenues.  Included in the total renovations and replacements was $22,241
in lobby and guest room carpet, $3,192 in air conditioning units, $2,059 in
sundeck repairs, $2,620 in replacement bedspreads and $17,743 for interior and
exterior painting and repairs of the South San Francisco property.  The annual
partial replacement of guest room carpets is expected in the fourth calendar
quarter.

The Partnership will continue this policy while operational cash flow can
satisfy operating needs, the current level of distributions to Limited Partners
and the minor replacements and refurbishment necessary to maintain the
properties in acceptable condition.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a comparison of the first nine months of the fiscal year
ending December 31, 1996 with the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal
year.

Total income increased $142,973 or 5.2%.  The major revenue item, guest room
revenue, increased $131,633 or 5.0%, due to an average rate increase from
$44.24 in 1995 to $46.36 in 1996.  This increase was offset by a decrease in
the occupancy rate from 67.3% in 1995 to 67.2% in 1996.

                     Management Discussion and Analysis
               of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
                       September 30, 1996 (Continued)

The San Francisco motel achieved a net increase in room revenue due to
increased room nights in the leisure market segment.  The Sacramento motel
experienced a slight decrease in occupancy due to reduced demand in the leisure
and government market segments, which was partially offset by increased demand
in the corporate and discount market segments.  The Modesto motel experienced
reduced or static demand in the all market segments.

Total expenses decreased $32,877 or 1.4% during the nine months of the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the corresponding period of the
previous fiscal year.  The expenses are substantially unchanged from the
previous fiscal year due to the unchanged occupancy.

FUTURE TRENDS

The General Partners anticipate a slightly  improved economic climate for 1996
as compared with the previous fiscal year.  The South San Francisco market,
which traditionally generated 40% of the Partnership's room revenue, has
recovered from its depressed condition.  The General Partners have determined
that a continuing cost control strategy will provide the best immediate return
to the Partnership.  The major components of the cost control program were in
place by December 31, 1993 and continue to benefit the Partnership through the
fiscal quarter covered by this report.

Prior to 1995 the Sacramento property had significant occupancy from the
McClellan Air Force Base.   In 1995 the base added 30 rooms to its on-base
transient housing.  This reduced the motels demand in 1995 and in 1996.  The
facility was added to the 1995 base closing list.  The remaining room nights
generated from this source will decline as the base operations are phased out
through 1997.  The actual closing activity and the future use of the facility
should generate some business for the Sacramento motel.

In the opinion of Management, these financial statements reflect all
adjustments which were necessary to a fair statement of results for the interim
periods presented.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
