           This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D filed with the
Commission on April 30, 1997, (the "Schedule 13D"). Capitalized terms used but
not defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D. The
following items are amended as follows:

Item 4.    Purpose of Transaction

           Item 4 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

           The parties filing this Statement believe that holding an interest
in the properties underlying the Units is an attractive investment at the prices
at which Units have been obtainable. They intend to monitor the status of such
properties and the real estate markets generally, and based on the results of
such review and other economic consideration, including the availability of and
alternative uses of, investment funds, may determine to acquire additional
Units, to sell Units now held, to seek to cause a sale of properties held by the
Partnership, to itself or to third parties, or to seek changes in the
Partnership. On or about October 1, 1997, Everest Properties II, LLC, an
affiliate of the parties filing this Statement, made an offer to purchase the
Partnership's properties, which offer was rejected by the Partnership's general
partner. Such affiliate has also requested that the Partnership's general
partner market the properties for sale and to hire such affiliate to do so,
which requests were also rejected by the Partnership's general partner. Although
the parties filing this Statement believe that they will likely continue to seek
the sale of the Partnership's properties, at this time the parties filing this
Statement do not have any specific plans or proposals themselves which would
relate to, or would result in, any transaction, change or other occurrence with
respect to the Partnership or the Units as is listed in paragraphs (a) through
(j) of Item 4 in Schedule 13D. On October 28, 1997, certain of the parties
filing this statement commenced litigation against management of the
Partnership, seeking damages on behalf of the Partnership arising out of certain
improper reimbursement and compensation practices by such management and seeking
a halt to such practices.

Item 5.    Interest in Securities of the Issuer

           Item 5 is hereby amended to reflect that (i) Everest Properties, LLC
owns 294 Units which were acquired in private purchase transactions and
represent approximately 3.3% of the outstanding Units; (ii) Everest Properties
II, LLC owns 257 Units which were acquired in private purchase transactions and
represent approximately 2.8% of the outstanding Units; (iii) Everest Lodging
Investors, LLC owns 257 Units which were acquired in private purchase
transactions and represent approximately 2.8% of outstanding Units, and (iv)
Everest/Madison Investors, LLC owns 294 Units which were acquired in private
purchase transactions and represent approximately 3.3% of outstanding Units
based on the number of Units outstanding on March 31, 1997.

Item 7.    Material to be Filed as Exhibits

           Item 7 is hereby amended by adding the following:

           99.2   Purchase Proposal

involved in this transaction.

     3.   ESCROW. Upon execution of a definitive purchase agreement and escrow
instructions by Buyer and Seller, an escrow ("Escrow") for the transaction would
