Notes to the Financial Statements

The Unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Partnership's annual 1993 audited financial statements within Form 10-K.

The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments consisting of only
normal recurring accruals which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to
present a fair statement of financial position as of March 31, 1994 and the
results of operation, changes in partners' deficit, and cash flows for the
three months then ended.  Results of operation for the period are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

No significant events have occurred subsequent to fiscal year 1993, which
require disclosure in this interim report per Regulation S-X, Rule 10-01,
Paragraph (a)(5).



Part I, Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                 and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership's liquidity and capital resources have been substantially
impacted by the funding of the renovation plan which was completed in January
1990 (the "Renovation Plan") and extensive borrowing subsequent to the initial
offering.  Combined with weak results from operations since 1989, these factors
led to a default by the Partnership on its January 2, 1992 debt-service payment
with respect to its $70 million first mortgage loan (the "Mortgage Loan").
This default created other defaults under the Partnership's subordinate
financings.  Effective June 30, 1992, a restructuring of the Partnership's
indebtedness and property leasing arrangements (the "Restructuring") was
successfully executed resulting in the waiver or cure of each of the
Partnership's defaults.

There can be no assurance that the Partnership's hotel (the "Hotel" or
"Property") will generate sufficient cash flow to enable the Partnership to
satisfy its debt service obligations.  The Partnership made its quarterly debt
service payment, due on January 2, 1994 to Bank of Nova Scotia with cash flow
from operations.  Additionally, cash flow was sufficient to satisfy the
quarterly debt service payment due April 2, 1994.  The General Partner
currently expects that the Partnership's cash flow may be sufficient to meet
the minimum payments in July 1994 due under the restructured terms of the
Mortgage Loan.

On April 27, 1993, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman"), an affiliate of
the General Partner, elected not to renew the Guaranty of the minimum pay rate
under the restructured Mortgage Loan for the year commencing July 4, 1993.
However, Lehman indicated that it would evaluate the future need for additional
funding support on a quarterly basis.  The General Partner is prepared to
request financial support from Lehman to supplement cash flow from the Hotel
should the need arise.

At March 31, 1994, the Partnership had cash, which is held in an interest
bearing account, of $1,205,285 compared with $1,488,632 at December 31, 1993.
The decrease is due largely to the minimum interest payment related to the
Mortgage Loan made on January 2, 1994.

Replacement reserve receivable increased from $327,929 at December 31, 1993 to
$454,841 at March 31, 1994 primarily due to additions to the reserve exceeding
expenditures for furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E").  Rent receivable
increased by $400,317 from December 31, 1993 to $553,858 at March 31, 1994
largely due to the increase in rent from operations and the timing of payments.

California Hyatt is required to reimburse the Partnership $3,000,000 with
respect to the installation of life safety systems at the Hotel (including
sprinklers) and the abatement and/or removal of asbestos where necessary.  The
terms of this agreement require California Hyatt to make 36 monthly payments of
principal plus interest beginning in January 1991, as a deduction from the
Hotel's operating profit.  The Partnership reduced building costs and
established a receivable from California Hyatt in the amount of $600,000 at
December 31, 1990, which represented management's estimate of the portion of
such reimbursements in excess of normal lease payments otherwise anticipated to
be received.  As a result of the amendment to the Hotel lease, completed as
part of the Restructuring, California Hyatt's effective commitment to reimburse
the Partnership for the life safety system was reduced in 1992 by $187,500.
Accordingly, this amount was added to the Partnership's cost of the life safety
system.  As a result of payments made, the Receivable - life safety system has
been paid in full as of March 31, 1994.

Accrued interest increased from $7,885,464 at December 31, 1993 to $8,712,007
at March 31, 1994, which represents the net of accrued interest expense for the
period less the minimum interest payment made on the Mortgage Loan.  Deferred
interest increased from $7,452,135 at December 31, 1993 to $7,715,103 at March
31, 1994 and Notes and Loans - Affiliate increased from $45,209,234 at December
31, 1993 to $46,231,359 at March 31, 1994.  These accounts increased primarily
due to the compounding of interest on the principal balances.

Due to the downturn in operating results of the Hotel, the General Partner
suspended payment of cash distributions beginning with the second quarter of
1988.  Future distributions will be dependent on the Partnership's cash flow
from operations and will be restricted until such time as the Hotel's cash flow
reaches a sufficient level in excess of its debt service as required under the
terms of the restructured Mortgage Loan.


Results of Operations

The Partnership's Hotel operates in an intensely competitive environment which
has had an adverse affect on the Partnership's rental income.  Operations
during the three months ended March 31, 1994, while improved considerably over
1993 first quarter results, have continued to be affected by the competitive
hotel market conditions in San Francisco.

The average occupancy rate and average room rate for the three months ended
March 31, 1994 were 71.7% and $137.30, respectively, compared with 65.6% and
$137.16, respectively, for the corresponding period in 1993.

For the three months ended March 31, 1994, the Partnership incurred a net loss
of $3,124,805 compared with a net loss of $3,541,079 for the three months ended
March 31, 1993.  The decrease in the Partnership's net loss is largely
attributable to an increase in rent from operations and a decrease in general
and administrative expenses and a decrease in depreciation and amortization due
to a portion of personal property becoming fully depreciated.

For the three months ended March 31, 1994, rental income included operating
income of $1,003,489 compared with $512,514 for the corresponding period in
1993.  Contributing to the improvement are increases in both room sales and
food and beverage sales, which are largely the result of higher occupancies at
the Hotel during the first quarter of 1994 relative to the same period in 1993.
Miscellaneous income decreased to $760 for the three months ended March 31,
1994 from $246,767 for the corresponding period in 1993.  The miscellaneous
income of $246,767 for the three months ended March 31, 1993 related to the
one-time receipt of real estate tax abatements.

Total expenses were $4,402,821 for the three months ended March 31, 1994,
compared with $4,554,060 for the three months ended March 31, 1993.  The
decline is primarily due to a decrease in depreciation and amortization of
$279,699 for the comparative periods, and a decrease in general and
administrative expenses of $47,106 from the three months ended March 31, 1993
to $38,948 for the three months ended March 31, 1994, which were partially
offset by an increase in interest expense.
