 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

financial statements as the partners individually report
 their distributive shares of the taxable income or loss of
the Partnership.
  
Fiscal Year

 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 $33,135 and $31,331 for the three months ended March
 28, 1997 and March 29, 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 three months ended March 28, 1997 and March
29, 1996, management fees were $22,974 and $20,155,
respectively.  Additionally, accounting service fees paid to
another affiliate of a general partner were $7,000 for the
three months ended March 28, 1997 and March 29, 1996,
respectively.  Expense reimbursements to a general partner
for expenses incurred were $5,442 and $4,433 for the three
 months ended March 28, 1997 and March 29, 1996,
 respectively.
  
  NOTE D - SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER
The Partnership's revenues for the three months ended
March 28, 1997 and March 29, 1996 include amounts from a
single customer of approximately $62,199 and $4,475,
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 March 28, 1997, the outstanding principal
 balance was $315,588, 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 March 28, 1997 and March
  29, 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 March 28,
   1997, the Partnership had cash and other current assets in
   the amount of $168,760 compared to $131,745 at March 29,
   1996.  Current liabilities  were $172,860 at March 28,1997,
   compared to $204,980 at March 29, 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
    not purchased any capital improvements for the hotel during
    the first three months of 1997.  The partnership expects to
    spend an additional $40,000 in capital expenditures during
    the balance of this year if cash flow is available to fund
    the expenditures. 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 three
   month period ended March 28, 1997, was 87.9% compared to
   82.8% for the three month period ended March 29, 1996.  The
    average daily room rate for the three month period ended
   March 28, 1997, was $38.24 compared to $38.69 for the three
   month period ended March 29,1996.  Room Revenue for the
   three month period ended March 28, 1997 was $385,279
   compared to $367,080 for the three month period ended March
   29, 1996. 
  
  The airline employee and airline related lodging resulted in
 daily room rentals of approximately 54.0% of the hotel's 126
 rooms for the three month period ended March 28, 1997,
 compared to 35.8.0% for the three month period ended March
 29, 1996.
