     NOTE  1.

        As  reported  in  a  previously  filed  Form  8-K,  the  Registrant
     sold  the  Park  Hyatt  Chicago  on  March  7,  1994.    Accounts
     related  to  the  Park  Hyatt  Chicago  have  been  eliminated  as
     presented  by  the  pro  forma  adjustments.    See  Note  3  below.

     NOTE  2.

        The  Registrant  sold  the  Radisson  Park  Terrace  on  March  15,
     1994.    Accounts  related  to  the  Radisson  Park  Terrace  have  been
     eliminated  as  presented  by  the  pro  forma  adjustments.    See  Note
     3  below.

     NOTE  3.

     The  unaudited  statements  present  the  pro  forma  consolidated
     balance  sheet  at  December  31,  1993,  had  the  Registrant  sold  the
     Park  Hyatt  Chicago  and  the  Radisson  Park  Terrace  on  December  31,
     1993  and  the  pro  forma  consolidated  statements  of  operations  for
     the  year  ended  September  30,  1993  and  for  the  three
     months  ended  December  31,  1993,  had  the  Registrant  sold  the
     Park  Hyatt  Chicago  and  the  Radisson  Park  Terrace  at  the
     beginning  of  each  period  presented.    The  unaudited  statements  also
     present  the  historical  figures  as
     previously  reported  in  the  appropriate  Form  10-K  and  10-Q
     Reports.    

     No  provision  for  Federal  and  state  income  taxes  has  been  made
     in  the  historical  or  pro  forma  consolidated  financial  statements
     because  income  taxes  are  the  obligation  of  the  partners.
