                  MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
                           DECEMBER 31, 1995          
           -----------------------------------------------               

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES  
- -------------------------------
                               
        The Partnership's current assets of $805,683 exceeded its
current liabilities of $90,564 providing an operating reserve of
$715,119, which is greater than the $455,000 target set by the
General Partners.  The General Partners authorized increases in
the quarterly distribution twice during the previous fiscal
year.  Any further increases will be contingent on the continued
improved performance of the property.

        In the unlikely event that the Partnership's reserves do not
meet operating needs, the Partnership's Pleasanton, California 
motel will provide substantial collateral against additional
debt.

        The Partnership has no material commitments for capital
expenditures.  The Partnership's guideline for replacements and
renovation expenditures is approximately 3% of room revenues. 
Applicable expenditures during the first three months of the
fiscal year which will end on September 30, 1996, were $24,629
($19,539 was capitalized) or 6.8% of room revenues. Annual
expenditures of this type are not expected to exceed the General
Partners' 3% guideline.  The renovation and replacement
expenditures for the period covered by this report is higher
than the General Partners' guidelines as this calendar quarter
generally has the lowest occupancy.  The low occupancy allows
the renovations to be performed with the least disturbance to
our guests.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
- ------------------------

        SFAS No. 121,  Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed OF,  requires
the Partnership to disclose information about potential
impairment to the value of long-lived assets.  The Partnership
is not required to adopt and does not currently plan to adopt
SFAS No. 121 until its fiscal year ending September 30, 1997. 
The Partnership does not expect to make any disclosures about
impairment of long-lived assets under SFAS No. 121.

                  MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
                              (Continued)
                           DECEMBER 31, 1995          
           -----------------------------------------------               

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
                     
        The following is a comparison of operating results for the three month
periods ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994.


                     1995    1994 
                     ----    ----
Occupancy            71.0%   68.7% 
Average Room Rate   $54.48  $50.17 

        
        Total revenues increased $41,610 (12.3%) for the three months
ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the corresponding period
of the preceding fiscal year.  Guest room revenue increased
$39,824 (12.3%) for the current period due to substantial
increases in both the occupancy rate and the average room rate. 
The Partnership achieved significant increases in the relatively
high room rate corporate and leisure market segments  with a
corresponding decrease in the discount and group
market segments, which generally have lower room rates.

        Total expenditures increased by $3,658 (1.5%) during the period
covered by this report as compared to the  corresponding period
of the previous fiscal year.  The Partnership, through
cost-cutting measures, was able to keep expenditures essentially
unchanged during the period covered by this report as compared
to the previous fiscal year.  Property management fees, which
are a function of the gross revenues, was the only expense
component to realize a significant increase.

FUTURE TRENDS
- -------------
             
        The General Partners expect the Pleasanton motel to continue
its improved performance if the current improvement in the
general economic climate continues.
             
        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.
