                                   (Unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of CRICO Hotel Associates I, L.P. (the General Partner), the
accompanying unaudited financial statements of CRI Hotel Income Partners, L.P.
(the Partnership) contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary
to present fairly the Partnership's financial position as of September 30, 1996
and December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 and its cash flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.

     These unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted.  While the General Partner believes that the disclosures
presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested
that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes included in the Partnership's Annual Report filed on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

     Certain amounts in the 1995 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1996 presentation.

2.   COMMITMENTS

     a.   Hotel operations management agreements
          --------------------------------------

          The Partnership entered into management agreements with Buckhead Hotel
     Management Company, Inc. (Buckhead) in connection with operations of the
     hotels. Each agreement is for an initial term of twelve to fifteen years,
     with a five-year renewal option.  The agreements call for a base management
     fee of 3.5% of gross revenue from operations, a marketing fee of 1.5% of
     net room revenues, and a reservation fee of 2.3% of gross revenues from
     rental of hotel guest rooms.  The agreements also call for incentive
     management fees generally equal to 25% of net cash flow available after
     payment of a preferred cash flow return to the Partnership equal to 11% of
     the aggregate purchase price for the hotels owned by the Partnership.  No
     incentive management fees were earned for the first three quarters of 1996
     or 1995.

     b.   Ground lease agreement
          ----------------------

          The Partnership entered into a lease with Vicorp Restaurants, Inc.
     (Vicorp) effective January 1991, for a portion of the Minneapolis Days Inn
     property to operate a restaurant (Baker's Square).  Gross rental income
     pursuant to the lease agreement was $12,620 and $37,858 for the three and
     nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively and $12,192 and $36,577
     for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995, respectively.

3.   DISTRIBUTIONS TO BAC HOLDERS

     The following distributions were paid or accrued to BAC Holders of record
during the first three quarters of 1996 and 1995:

*    Includes the distribution of net cash proceeds from the sale of the
     Kankakee hotel of $52,478 (approximately $0.06 per BAC), which is net of
     payment of outstanding Kankakee real estate taxes, retirement of the
     related note payable and repayment of Partnership advances.

     Distributions are dependent on the net cash flow produced from hotel
operations, net of Partnership expenses.  The cash flow from certain hotels may
be materially affected by changing market conditions and by seasonality.  As
mentioned below, distributions may be substantially reduced for the long term,
and possibly terminated for the short term due to the possible refinancing of
the Zero Coupon Purchase Money Notes held by the Partnership.

4.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Partnership, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement,
is obligated to reimburse the General Partner or its affiliates for their direct
expenses in connection with managing the Partnership.  The Partnership paid or
accrued $11,695 and $33,788 for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996, respectively, and $18,231 and $44,372 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1995, respectively, to the General Partner or its affiliates as
direct reimbursement of expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership.  Such
reimbursements are included in general and administrative expense on the
statements of income. 

     The amount of the base asset management fee earned by the General Partner
or its affiliates is equal to 0.50% of the weighted average balance of the
adjusted partnership investment during the period, as defined in the Partnership
Agreement.  The Partnership paid or accrued a base asset management fee of
$23,436 and $70,312, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996,
and $26,250 and $78,750 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995.

5.   HOTELS OWNED BY THE PARTNERSHIP

     On October 20, 1994, a contract for the sale of the Kankakee hotel was
signed.  The sale was completed on July 19, 1995.  The sale price of the
property of $1.2 million generated sufficient proceeds to the Partnership to

retire the purchase money note obligation of the Partnership with respect to
such property.

     Erosion and settlement have caused some of the walls to buckle and the
hotel concrete floor to crack and sink at the Roseville hotel.  Excavation to
determine the severity of the problem and exterior work to prevent further
damage were completed during October 1996.  Interior work, including
jackhammering and replacing the concrete floor, is expected to be completed
during January 1997.  The cost to repair the exterior of the hotel was
approximately $20,000 and was funded by the hotel's reserves.  As of November 8,
1996, preliminary estimates received indicate the cost to repair the interior of
the hotel will be approximately $40,000 to $60,000.  These costs may be funded
by the hotel's operations.

6.   PURCHASE MONEY NOTES

     In addition to capital provided by the sale of BACs, the Partnership
received Zero Coupon Purchase Money Notes (the Notes) financing from Days Inn
for the acquisition of the hotels.  The notes are nonrecourse notes
collateralized by the various properties.  Each note provides for a ten year
maturity from the date of acquisition with an accrual of interest at 9% per
annum, compounded on a monthly basis.  The Notes, including accrued interest,
are scheduled to mature in 1997 and 1998.  The Kankakee Zero Coupon note of
$434,925 plus accrued interest of $440,746 was retired on July 19, 1995 in
connection with the sale of the hotel, as discussed above.

     The balances of the Notes, including accrued interest, due upon maturity
are as follows:

</TABLE>

(A)  The Scottsdale Days Inn is held as a leasehold interest.  The maturity of
     the lease was originally set for January 31, 1994.  This lease term was
     initially extended an additional five years, thereby expiring on January
     31, 1999.  During 1996, this lease was extended for an additional five
     years, thereby expiring January 31, 2004.

     The General Partner is currently reviewing several options available to the
Partnership to address the upcoming maturity of the Notes and the capital
improvement needs of the properties.  One option may be to sell the hotels
outright (or in the case of Scottsdale, sell the leasehold interest), either as

individual assets or in a sale pool together.  Another option may be to
refinance the Notes to generate sufficient refinancing proceeds to set aside
monies for the needed capital improvements to the properties.  It is estimated
that the refinancing option would substantially reduce for the long term, and
possibly terminate for the short-term, any future investor distributions from
the Partnership.

                          Financial Condition/Liquidity
                         ------------------------------

     CRI Hotel Income Partners, L.P. (the Partnership) expects that the hotels
in the aggregate will generate sufficient cash flow to achieve a positive cash
flow after operating expenses.  During the nine months ended September 30 1996,
certain hotels retained aggregate additional replacement reserves of
approximately $188,700 for the purpose of funding the purchase of electronic
door locks.  The installation of these electronic door locks is a franchise
requirement imposed by Days Inns.  As of September 30, 1996, $166,837 had been
paid relating to the lock replacements.  Other than the purchase of electronic
door locks and the periodic replacement of fixed assets, which are funded from
the replacement reserves, and the Roseville excavation and repair work, as
discussed below, there are no material commitments for capital expenditures. 
However, the Partnership anticipates that the hotels may need to incur
significant expenses for the needed capital improvements of the hotels to remain
competitive.

     The Partnership's liquidity and future results of operations are primarily
dependent upon the performance of the underlying hotels.  Hotel operations may
be materially affected by changing market conditions and by seasonality caused
by variables such as vacations, holidays and climate.  The Partnership closely
monitors its cash flow position in an effort to ensure that sufficient cash is
available for operating requirements and distributions to BAC Holders.  The
Partnership's net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, along with existing cash resources, was adequate to
support operating, investing and financing requirements and declared
distributions to BAC Holders and the General Partner.  Cash and cash equivalents
decreased in 1996 principally due to the timing of distributions made to BAC
Holders and the General Partner.  The Partnership estimates that existing cash
and cash equivalents along with future cash flows from the hotels' operations,
in the aggregate, will be sufficient to pay operating expenses and short term
commitments, fund replacement reserves, and make distributions to BAC Holders. 
Short-term liabilities of $1,347,446 decreased from 1995.  This resulted
primarily from a decrease in distributions payable, a decrease in hotel trade
payables at four hotels and a decrease in accrued management fees at the
Scottsdale hotel.

     In addition to capital provided by the sale of BACs, the Partnership
received Zero Coupon Purchase Money Notes (the Notes) financing from Days Inn
for the acquisition of the hotels.  The notes are nonrecourse notes
collateralized by the various properties.  Each note provides for a ten year
maturity from the date of acquisition with an accrual of interest at 9% per
annum, compounded on a monthly basis.  The Notes, including accrued interest,
are scheduled to mature in 1997 and 1998.  The Kankakee Zero Coupon note of
$434,925 plus accrued interest of $440,746 was retired on July 19, 1995 in
connection with the sale of the hotel, as discussed above.

(A)  The Scottsdale Days Inn is held as a leasehold interest.  The maturity of
     the lease was originally set for January 31, 1994.  This lease term was
     initially extended an additional five years, thereby expiring on January
     31, 1999.  During 1996, this lease was extended for an additional five
     years, thereby expiring January 31, 2004.

     The General Partner is currently reviewing several options available to the
Partnership to address the upcoming maturity of the Notes and the capital
improvement needs of the properties.  One option may be to sell the hotels
outright (or in the case of Scottsdale, sell the leasehold interest), either as
individual assets or in a sale pool together.  Another option may be to
refinance the Notes to generate sufficient refinancing proceeds to set aside
monies for the needed capital improvements to the properties.  It is estimated
that the refinancing option would substantially reduce for the long term, and
possibly terminate for the short-term, any future investor distributions from
the Partnership.

     The following distributions were paid or accrued to BAC Holders of record
during the first three quarters of 1996 and 1995:

     payment of outstanding Kankakee real estate taxes, retirement of the
     related note payable and repayment of Partnership advances.

     Distributions are dependent on the net cash flow produced from hotel
operations, net of Partnership expenses.  The cash flow from certain hotels may
be materially affected by changing market conditions and by seasonality.

                              Results of Operations
                              ---------------------

     The Partnership's net income, which consists principally of revenues from
hotel operations, decreased $77,464 during the three months ended September 30,
1996 from the comparable period in 1995 primarily due to a $77,477 decrease in
room revenue.  Room revenue decreased $48,148 primarily due to decreased
occupancy at the Plymouth and University hotels.  Additionally, room revenue
decreased $29,329 due to the sale of the Kankakee hotel.

     The Partnership's net income decreased $9,155 during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 from the comparable period in 1995 primarily due to a
$171,068 decrease in room revenue.  Room revenue decreased $219,209 due to the
sale of the Kankakee hotel and $109,661 due to decreased occupancy at the
Plymouth and Minneapolis hotels, partially offset by a $157,802 increase in room
revenue at the remaining hotels resulting from an increase in room rates. 
Contributing to the decrease in net income was a $53,550 decrease in telephone
revenue primarily due to decreased occupancy at the Plymouth and Minneapolis
hotels.  Partially offsetting the decrease in net income was a $185,254 decrease
in unallocated operating expenses and departmental expenses.  These expenses
decreased $360,866 due to the sale of the Kankakee hotel in July 1995, partially
offset by a $175,612 increase in these expenses at the remaining hotels
primarily due to an increase in building lease costs at the Scottsdale hotel and
an increase in depreciation expense resulting from increased furniture fixture
and equipment expenditures during 1996 primarily due to the purchase of door
locks at all hotels, as discussed above.

                          Hotels' Results of Operations
                          -----------------------------

     The hotels' results of operations are affected by changing market
conditions and by seasonality caused by variables such as vacations, holidays
and climate.  Based on the hotels' operating budgets, the following months
should provide the highest gross operating income and net cash flow:

(1)  The 1995 operating results presented for the Kankakee hotel are through
     July 19, 1995, the date of sale.
(2)  The sub-totals and totals for average occupancy are based on a weighted
     average taking into consideration the number of rooms at each location.

     Gross operating income and operating income for the Clearwater hotel for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased from the same
period in 1995 primarily due to the lost room nights previously generated by a
major client that was lost during the fourth quarter of 1995 and increased
marketing and advertising expenses incurred as a result of increased sales
efforts.  Gross operating income and operating income for the Minneapolis hotel
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 decreased from the same
periods in 1995 primarily due to unusually harsh weather conditions and a
temporary quarantine of Shriner's Hospital, which indirectly provides a
significant amount of business to the hotel.  Gross operating income and
operating income for the Plymouth hotel for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 decreased from the same period in 1995 primarily due to
unusually harsh weather conditions and increased competition for local
advertising space.  Gross operating income for the Roseville hotel for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and operating income for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 increased from the same period in 1995 primarily
due to increased interstate trucking business and expanded trucking contract
rooms during 1996.  Operating income for the Roseville hotel for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 decreased from the same period in 1995 primarily due to
unusually harsh weather conditions and record low temperatures during the first
quarter of 1996.  Gross operating income and operating income for the Scottsdale
hotel for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased primarily due to
an increase in room rates and unexpected increases in the tour and travel
segment of the market.  Gross operating income and operating income for the
Scottsdale hotel for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased from the
same period in 1995 primarily due to increased room demand in the area as a

result of Super Bowl XXX being hosted by the City of Phoenix.  The Kankakee
hotel was sold on July 19, 1995, as previously discussed.

     Erosion and settlement have caused some of the walls to buckle and the
hotel concrete floor to crack and sink at the Roseville hotel.  Excavation to
determine the severity of the problem and exterior work to prevent further
damage were completed during October 1996.  Interior work, including
jackhammering and replacing the concrete floor, is expected to be completed
during January 1997.  The cost to repair the exterior of the hotel was
approximately $20,000 and was funded by the hotel's reserves.  As of November 8,
1996, preliminary estimates received indicate the cost to repair the interior of
the hotel will be approximately $40,000 to $60,000.  These costs may be funded
by the hotel's operations.
