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 June 30, 1994 and the
results of operations, changes in partners' deficit, and cash flows for the six
months then ended.  Results of operations for the period are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

The following significant event has occurred subsequent to fiscal year 1993,
which requires disclosure in this interim report per Regulation S-X, Rule
10-01, Paragraph (a)(5).

Note 1:

On July 5, 1994 a payment of $405,083 was made to the Bank of Nova Scotia
("BNS") representing the excess of rents received by the Partnership less
disbursements for the period from July 1, 1993 through June 30, 1994, as
defined in the Amended and Restated Promissory Note Secured by the Deed of
Trust dated June 30, 1992.  This payment will be applied toward reducing BNS's
portion of the accrued interest on the Partnership's first mortgage.





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 payments, due on January 2, 1994 and April 2, 1994 to Bank of Nova
Scotia ("BNS") with cash flow from operations, and cash flow was also
sufficient to satisfy the quarterly debt service payment due July 5, 1994.  In
addition, on July 5, 1994 a payment of $405,083 was made to BNS representing
the excess of rents received by the Partnership less disbursements for the
period from July 1, 1993 through June 30, 1994, as defined in the Amended and
Restated Promissory Note Secured by the Deed of Trust dated June 30, 1992.
This payment will be applied toward reducing BNS's portion of the accrued
interest on the Partnership's first mortgage.  The General Partner currently
expects that the Partnership's cash flow may be sufficient to meet the minimum
payments in Oc tober 1994 due under the restructured terms of the Mortgage
Loan.  However, the General Partner is prepared to request financial support
from an affiliate, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman"), to supplement cash
flow from the Hotel should the need arise.  Lehman indicated that it would
evaluate the need for additional funding on a quarterly basis.

At June 30, 1994, the Partnership had cash, which is held in an interest
bearing account, of $1,683,201 compared to $1,488,632 at December 31, 1993.
The increase is due largely to an increase in rents from operating income
received.

Replacement reserve receivable increased from $327,929 at December 31, 1993 to
$391,889 at June 30, 1994 due to additions to the reserve exceeding
expenditures for furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E").  Rent receivable
increased by $257,708 from December 31, 1993 to $411,249 at June 30, 1994 due
to the increase in rent from operations and the timing of payments.  

Accrued interest increased from $7,885,464 from December 31, 1993 to $9,853,749
at June 30, 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
June 30, 1994 and Notes and Loans - Affiliate increased from $45,209,234 at
December 31, 1993 to $47,113,243 at June 30, 1994.  These accounts increased
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 six months ended June 30, 1994, while improved over results for the
corresponding period in 1993, have continued to be affected by the sluggish
national economy, and strong competition in the San Francisco hotel market.

The average occupancy rate and average room rate for the six months ended
June 30, 1994 were 72.96% and $138.55, respectively, compared to 71.28% and
$138.12, respectively, for the corresponding period in 1993.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 1994, the Partnership incurred a
net loss of $2,731,091 and $5,855,896, respectively, compared to a net loss of
$2,807,071 and $6,348,150, respectively, for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1993.

The decrease in the Partnership's net loss is primarily attributable to an
increase in rent from operations and a decrease in depreciation and
amortization due to a portion of personal property becoming fully depreciated,
which was partially offset by an increase in interest expense.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 1994, rental income included
operating income of $1,454,710 and $2,458,199, respectively, compared to
$1,389,895 and $1,902,409, respectively, for same period in 1993.  Contributing
to the improvement are the increases in both room and food and beverage sales,
which are largely the result of higher occupancies at the Hotel during the
first and second quarters of 1994 relative to the same periods in 1993.
Miscellaneous income of $295,417 for the six months ended June 30, 1993 related
to the one-time receipt of real estate tax abatements.

Total expenses were $4,477,205 and $8,880,026, respectively, for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1994, compared to $4,542,348 and $9,096,408,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 1993.  The decline
for the six month period is primarily due to the decrease in depreciation and
amortization of approximately $570,000 for the comparative periods, and a
decrease in general and administrative expenses of $42,445 from the six months
ended June 30, 1993 to $100,478 for the six months ended June 30, 1994, which
were partially offset by an increase in interest expense.
