	NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in 
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements 
follows.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the 
cost of depreciable assets to operations over their 
estimated service lives by the straight-line method.  
Accelerated methods of depreciation are used for tax 
purposes.

Federal Income Taxes

Federal income taxes (benefits) are not reflected in the 
financial statements as the partners individually report 
their distributive shares of the taxable income or loss of 
the Partnership.

Fiscal Year

The Partnership's fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest 
December 31.  Fiscal years 1997 and 1996 are comprised of 
fifty-three and fifty-two week periods, respectively.

NOTE B - PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

The Partnership was formed under the laws of the State of 
Texas in September 1979.  The Partnership was organized to 
develop and operate nonspecified "budget" hotels in Texas.

Allocation of cash distributions and income (losses) are 99% 
and 1%, respectively, to limited partners and general 
partners.

The general partners have an option which expires in 1999 to 
purchase a special 20% limited partner interest for 
$500,000.

Franchise Fees


Effective June 30, 1994, the partnership received approval 
from Ramada Franchise Systems, Inc. to operate the facility 
as a Ramada Limited hotel for a term of fifteen years 
subject to Ramada having the right to terminate the license 
without cause effective on the fifth anniversary of the 
license. Prior to June 30, 1994, the Partnership paid to 
Super 8 Motels, Inc. monthly fees equal to 4% of its gross 
room revenue and contributed an additional 1% of its gross 
room revenues to an advertising fund administered by the 
franchisor.  Effective June 30, 1994, the Partnership will 
pay to Ramada Franchise Systems, Inc. monthly fees equal to 
3.5% of its gross room revenue for the first twelve months 
from the effective date of the Ramada license and 4% of its 
gross room revenue beginning in the thirteenth month through 
the balance of the license term.  In addition, the 
partnership must contribute 4.5% of its gross room revenue 
to Ramada Inter-National Association for marketing, 
reservation systems and other assessments.  Franchise fees 
were $100,298 and $85,986 for the nine months ended 
September 26,1997 and September 27, 1996, respectively.

NOTE C - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Management Fees

An affiliate of one of the former General Partners managed 
the hotel for the Partnership until May 31, 1989.  The fee 
for this service was 5% of gross operating revenues from 
Partnership operations.  This management fee was payable 
monthly; however, three-fifths of the management fee was 
deferred until receipt by the Limited Partners of a 
cumulative 10% per annum pre-tax return on their adjusted 
capital contributions.  During 1994 this obligation was 
written off because it was determined that it was unlikely 
to require payment in the future.

On June 1, 1989, an affiliate of one of the current General 
Partners assumed management of the hotel.  For its services, 
the management company receives a base management fee equal 
to the greater of three percent (3%) of the Gross Revenues 
of the hotel or $36,000 per year.  In addition to the base 
management fee, the management company receives an incentive 
management fee equal to ten percent (10%) of Gross Operating 
Profit.  For the nine months ended September 26, 1997 and 
September 27, 1996, management fees were $72,453 and 
$50,861, respectively.  Additionally, accounting service 
fees paid to another affiliate of a general partner were 
$21,000 for the nine months ended September 26, 1997 and 
September 27, 1996, respectively.  Expense reimbursements to 
a general partner for expenses incurred were $10,574 and 
$9,587 for the nine months ended September 26, 1997 and 
September 27, 1996, respectively.

NOTE D - SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER
The Partnership's revenues for the nine months ended 
September 26, 1997 and September 27, 1996 include amounts 
from a single customer of approximately $257,801 and 
$95,078, respectively.

NOTE E - MORTGAGE PAYABLE

In April 1994, the partnership entered into a mortgage note 
agreement to borrow $450,000 from a financial institution.  
The proceeds of this loan were used to complete the 
renovation of the facility to comply with the Ramada license 
requirements.  Under terms of the agreement, the partnership 
is required to make monthly principal installments of $3,750 
and interest on the outstanding principal balance at 2% 
above the financial institution?s prime lending rate.  The 
mortgage note is collateralized by the hotel's property and 
equipment.  As of September 26, 1997, the outstanding 
principal balance was $293,088, with a current portion of 
$45,000.  All unpaid principal is due in 2004.  The payee 
may demand payment of the outstanding balance of the note on 
the six year, seven year, eight year and nine year 
anniversary dates of the note.

Item 2.MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL 
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Opinion of Management
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited 
financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting 
only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present 
fairly the financial position as of September 26, 1997 and 
September 27, 1996, and the results of operation and its 
cash flows for the periods then ended.

Liquidity
The General Partners believe that the Partnership's 
liquidity, defined as its ability to generate adequate 
amounts of cash to meet its cash needs, is satisfactory. The 
Partnership's primary source of liquidity is its revenue 
from operations, the cash provided from the sale of its 
restaurant in 1990 and the proceeds of the mortgage note 
incurred to finance the renovation of the hotel.  The 
Partnership actively negotiated with the lessee of the 
restaurant building to sell the building to such lessee.  
Such sale took place on September 14, 1990.  The contract 
sale price was $500,000.  This sale provided a cash infusion 
to the property of $445,000 which was used to pay off 
delinquent taxes of $137,605, current taxes on the 
restaurant through September 14, 1990 of $14,160 and a 
$22,000 bank loan secured by the lease.  As of September 26, 
1997, the Partnership had cash and other current assets in 
the amount of $368,189 compared to $129,603 at September 26, 
1996.  Current liabilities  were $230,397 at September 
26,1997, compared to $204,159 at September 27, 1996.  

Capital Resources  
 The partnership spent approximately $62,636, $6,606 and 
$451,000 in capital improvements to the hotel's facilities 
in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The partnership has 
spent $2,728 in capital improvements for the hotel during 
the first nine months of 1997.  The partnership expects to 
spend an additional $40,000 in capital expenditures during 
the balance of this year. The hotel is now operating in full 
compliance with the Ramada Limited standards.

Results of Operations  

The Partnership's hotel average occupancy rate for the nine 
month period ended September 26, 1997, was 89.0% compared to 
78.9% for the nine month period ended September 27, 1996.  
The average daily room rate for the nine month period ended 
September 26, 1997, was $38.39 compared to $37.22 for the 
nine month period ended September 27,1996.  Room Revenue for 
the nine month period ended September 26, 1997 was 
$1,175,178 compared to $1,010,236 for the nine month period 
ended September 27, 1996. 

The airline employee and airline related lodging resulted in 
daily room rentals of approximately 52.0% of the hotel's 126 
rooms for the nine month period ended September 26, 1997, 
compared to 42.0% for the nine month period ended September 
27, 1996.
