Notes to the Financial Statements


The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the Partnership's annual 1994 audited  financial statements within Form 10-K.

The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of financial
position as of September 30, 1995 and the results of operations and cash flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 and the statement of
changes in partners' deficit for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
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 1994,
which requires disclosure in this interim report per Regulation S-X, Rule
10-01, Paragraph (a)(5).

Note 1:

On July 3, 1995, a payment of $2,193,025 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, 1994 through June 30, 1995, 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 were 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 future debt service obligations.  On April 27, 1993, an affiliate
of the General Partner, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. ("Lehman"), elected not
to renew the Guaranty of the minimum pay rate under the restructured Mortgage
Loan for the year commencing July 4, 1993.  The Partnership made its quarterly
debt service payments, due on July 3, 1995 and October 2, 1995 to the Bank of
Nova Scotia ("BNS"), with cash flow from operations.  In addition, on July 3,
1995, a payment of $2,193,025 was made to BNS representing the excess of rents
received by the Partnership less disbursements for the period from July 1, 1994
through June 30, 1995, as defined in the Amended and Restated Promissory Note
Secured by the Deed of Trust dated June 30, 1992.  This payment was applied
toward reducing BNS's portion of the accrued interest on the Partnership's
first mortgage.  Pursuant to the terms of the June 1992 debt restructuring, the
pay rate for the minimum interest payment will increase from 8.5% to 9.699%
effective January 2, 1996.  The General Partner currently expects that the
Partnership's cash flow should be sufficient to meet the minimum payment due on
January 2, 1996 under the restructured terms of the Mortgage Loan.  However,
there can be no assurance that cash flow will continue to be sufficient to
satisfy future payments, and the General Partner is prepared to request
financial support from Lehman to supplement cash flow from the Hotel should the
need arise.  Lehman has indicated that it would evaluate the need for
additional funding on a quarterly basis.  Lehman is not contractually committed
to provide any cash funding or other financial support for the Partnership or
the Hotel, and may or may not elect to provide financial support, based upon
prevailing business conditions or any other considerations at the time any
request is made.  Thus, the General Partner can provide no assurances whatsoever
with respect to Lehman's willingness to provide any cash funding or any other
form of financial support in the future.

The General Partner anticipates the need for continued interest accruals and
deferrals pursuant to the Restructuring for the foreseeable future.  This
accrual of interest may affect the Partnership's ability to refinance and/or
sell the Hotel at a price which enables the repayment of the Partnership's
restructured debt, including accrued and deferred interest.  There are no
assurances that the Partnership's debt may be restructured to provide a
maturity date beyond its current maturity date of January 2, 1997.  Nor is
there any assurance that if the debt is restructured to provide an extended
maturity date, the restructured debt will continue to provide for the accrual
of interest.  In order for Limited Partners to receive any additional cash
distributions, the net proceeds from a sale of the Hotel will need to be in
excess of all Partnership debt, including accrued interest, by either the
January 2, 1997 maturity date for that debt or any extended maturity date that
may result from any restructuring of that debt.  A number of factors
including, without limitation, general economic conditions, factors affecting
the hotel industry in the San Francisco Bay area, and natural disasters have in
the past and may in the future affect the value of the Hotel.  Although the
Hotel's business has improved on a relative basis in recent years, there is no
assurance whatsoever that the Hotel will have a value in the future sufficient
to either restructure the debt to extend its maturity or to enable the Hotel to
be sold for an amount that would be in excess of the debt in order to provide
any surplus for distribution to the Limited Partners.

At September 30, 1995, the Partnership had cash, which is held in an
interest-bearing account, of $2,266,481 compared to $2,668,685 at December 31,
1994.  The decrease is due primarily to a decrease in cash provided by
operating activities resulting from the payment on July 2, 1995 to BNS
representing excess rents received by the Partnership.

Replacement reserve receivable increased from $89,506 at December 31, 1994 to
$466,457 at September 30, 1995, largely due to additions to the reserve
exceeding expenditures for furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E").  Rent
receivable increased by $611,260 from December 31, 1994 to $805,504 at
September 30, 1995, due to the increase in rent from operations and the timing
of payments.  Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased to $78,726 at
September 30, 1995 compared with $66,420 at December 31, 1994, primarily due to
the payment of audit fees and the accrual of professional fees for 1995,
partially offset by the payment of taxes due to the City of San Francisco.
Accrued interest increased to $11,967,879 at September 30, 1995 compared with
$11,580,105 at December 31, 1994.  The change primarily represents the net of
accrued interest expense for the period less the minimum interest payments made
on January 3, 1995, April 3, 1995 and July 3, 1995, as well as the additional
interest payment made on July 3, 1995.  Deferred interest increased from
$8,020,283 at December 31, 1994 to $8,802,647 at September 30, 1995 and Notes
and Loans - Affiliate increased from $48,891,636 at December 31, 1994 to
$52,021,255 at September 30, 1995.  These accounts have increased due to
compounding of unpaid interest on the principal balances.

Results of Operations

While operations have improved, the Hotel still operates in a competitive
environment which continues to keep Hotel profits and Partnership rental income
reduced from pre-1988 levels.  The average occupancy rate and average room rate
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1995 were 81.2% and $141.88,
respectively, compared to 74.7% and $138.46, respectively, for the
corresponding period in 1994.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995, the Partnership
incurred net losses of $2,105,892 and $7,273,040, respectively, compared to net
losses of $2,751,628 and $8,607,524, respectively, for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1994.  The decrease in the Partnership's net loss
is primarily attributable to an increase in rental income, which was partially
offset by an increase in interest expense and general and administrative
expenses.

For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995, rental income
included operating income of $2,268,521 and $5,840,807, respectively, compared
to $1,476,502 and $3,934,701, respectively, for the same periods in 1994.  The
improvement in 1995 is largely due to improved Hotel operating results.
Operating results were positively impacted by higher average occupancy and room
rates at the Hotel during 1995 compared to 1994, which resulted in increases in
room sales, food and beverage sales, telecommunication sales and other rental
income for the 1995 period.  Interest income for the three and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1995 was $18,394 and $88,837, respectively,
compared with $6,548 and $19,180, respectively, for the same periods in 1994.
The increases in 1995 are due primarily to the higher cash balances being
maintained by the Partnership and higher interest rates.

Total expenses were $4,709,216 and $14,126,441, respectively, for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 1995, compared to $4,515,482 and
$13,395,508, respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1994.  The increases primarily are due to higher general and
administrative expenses and higher interest expense resulting from the
compounding of interest on the principal debt balance and an increase in the
prime rate during 1994 and 1995.  These increases were partially offset by
lower depreciation and amortization.
