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, 1997
and December 31, 1996, and the results of its operations for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and its cash flows for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996.

     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, 1996.

     Certain amounts in the 1996 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1997 presentation.

2.   NOTES PAYABLE

     In addition to the capital provided by the sale of Beneficial Assignee
Certificates (BACs), the Partnership received Zero Coupon Purchase Money Note
(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.  Principal and accrued
interest, which will equal 47.4% of the original purchase price of the hotel, is
due upon maturity of each Note. The Notes may be prepaid at the initial note
balance plus accrued interest at any time without premium or penalty.  The Notes
were originally issued by BancBoston Mortgage Corporation (BancBoston).  During
the second quarter 1997, BancBoston sold the Notes to Credit Suisse First Boston
Mortgage Capital, LLC (First Boston).

     As of September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively, the Notes,
including accrued interest, consisted of the following:

</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 January 31,
     1999.  During 1996, this lease was extended for an additional five years,
     thereby expiring January 31, 2004.

     The General Partner is proceeding with refinancing the four Notes (which
mature between October 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998).  On November 3, 1997, the
Partnership refinanced with Citicorp Real Estate, Inc. ("Citicorp") the Note
secured by the Minneapolis Days Inn which matured October 31, 1997.  The new
Note, which is nonrecourse, is payable on demand and its interest rate floats at
one-month LIBOR plus 165 basis points (LIBOR plus 1.65%, currently 7.34%).  The
General Partner anticipates completing the refinancing of the remaining three
Notes with Citicorp by the close of the year, at which time the Note secured by
the Minneapolis Days Inn will be modified to reflect a fixed term and interest
rate.  If such refinancing is not concluded with Citicorp, Citicorp could demand
payment of the Note secured by the Minneapolis Days Inn and foreclose on the
hotel if not paid.  The combined refinancing proceeds should be approximately
$8.9 million.  Such proceeds in excess of the amount needed to pay off the
former financing (approximately $7.9 million) will be used to pay the costs of

                                                                 -7-

refinancing and to fund needed capital improvements at the hotels.  Subject to
prepayment terms which may or may not be included in the combined refinancing,
such refinancing should not preclude the future sale of the hotels, either
individually or as a portfolio; however, there is no assurance that the
refinancing, on the terms described above or on other terms, will be
successfully concluded.

3.   WORKING CAPITAL RESERVES

     The working capital reserve of $172,424 and $225,000 as of September 30,
1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively, represents funds held in reserve which
are maintained as working capital for the Partnership.  The working capital
reserve may be increased or reduced by the General Partner as deemed
appropriate.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the General
Partner approved a $309,008 increase to the working capital reserve in order to
address needed capital improvements at the hotels.  Additionally, during the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership funded $361,584 from the
working capital reserve to the hotels to pay for such capital improvements.

4.   DISTRIBUTIONS TO BAC HOLDERS

     The following distributions were paid or accrued to BAC Holders of record
during the first three quarters of 1997 and 1996:

                           ==========  =======    ==========   =======
</TABLE>

     As a result of the increase in working capital reserves during 1997, as
discussed above, the distribution levels for the first three quarters of 1997
have decreased from 1996.  Due to the anticipated refinancing of the Notes, as
discussed above, the General Partner expects that distributions may be further
reduced in the fourth quarter of 1997 and continuing into 1998.  The General
Partner expects the distribution for the four quarters ending December 31, 1997
to approximate $1.54 per BAC, versus $2.05 for the four quarters ended December
31, 1996.  Distributions are also 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.

5.   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 1997.

     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 Baker's Square restaurant.  Gross rental income
     pursuant to the lease agreement was $13,060 and $39,182 for the three and
     nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively, and $12,619 and $37,858
     for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively.

6.   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 $8,607 and $38,367 for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1997, respectively, and $11,695 and $33,788 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996, 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
$23,437 and $70,312 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997,
respectively, and $23,436 and $70,312 for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1996, respectively.

                          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.  In addition to periodic replacement of fixed
assets, which are funded from the replacement reserves, the Partnership has
determined that significant capital improvements are needed to enhance the
marketability of the hotels.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1997,
the Partnership funded $361,584 from the working capital reserve to the hotels
to address such capital improvements.  The Partnership anticipates using funds
generated by a refinancing of the partnership's debt to fund further capital
improvements needed at the hotels, as discussed below.

     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, 1997, along with existing cash resources, was adequate to
support operating, investing and financing requirements and declared
distributions to BAC Holders and the General Partner.  With the exception of the
maturing purchase money notes, which are discussed further below, 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 working capital and
replacement reserves, and make distributions to BAC Holders and the General
Partner.  However, distributions are expected to be significantly reduced
beginning with the fourth quarter 1997 and continuing into 1998, as a result of
the anticipated refinancing of the purchase money notes issued by the
Partnership, as discussed further below.  Short-term liabilities of $9,157,756
increased by $4,042,911 from 1996.  This resulted primarily from the
reclassification of the remaining portion of purchase money notes which will
mature during February and March 1998, an increase in accrued property tax at
four hotels and an increase in building lease payable at the Scottsdale hotel.

Working Capital Reserve
- -----------------------

     The working capital reserve of $172,424 and $225,000 as of September 30,
1997 and December 31, 1996, respectively, represents funds held in reserve which
are maintained as working capital for the Partnership.  The working capital
reserve may be increased or reduced by the General Partner as deemed
appropriate.  During the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the General
Partner approved a $309,008 increase to the working capital reserve in order to
address needed capital improvements at the hotels.  Additionally, during the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership funded $361,584 from the
working capital reserve to the hotels to pay for such capital improvements.

Purchase Money Notes
- --------------------

     In addition to the capital provided by the sale of Beneficial Assignee
Certificates (BACs), the Partnership received Zero Coupon Purchase Money Note

(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 January 31,
     1999.  During 1996, this lease was extended for an additional five years,
     thereby expiring January 31, 2004.

     The General Partner is proceeding with refinancing the four Notes (which
mature between October 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998).  On November 3, 1997, the
Partnership refinanced with Citicorp Real Estate, Inc. ("Citicorp") the Note
secured by the Minneapolis Days Inn which matured October 31, 1997.  The new
Note, which is nonrecourse, is payable on demand and its interest rate floats at
one-month LIBOR plus 165 basis points (LIBOR plus 1.65%, currently 7.34%).  The
General Partner anticipates completing the refinancing of the remaining three
Notes with Citicorp by the close of the year, at which time the Note secured by
the Minneapolis Days Inn will be modified to reflect a fixed term and interest
rate.  If such refinancing is not concluded with Citicorp, Citicorp could demand
payment of the Note secured by the Minneapolis Days Inn and foreclose on the
hotel if not paid.  The combined refinancing proceeds should be approximately
$8.9 million.  Such proceeds in excess of the amount needed to pay off the
former financing (approximately $7.9 million) will be used to pay the costs of
refinancing and to fund needed capital improvements at the hotels.  Subject to

                                                                -12-

prepayment terms which may or may not be included in the combined refinancing,
such refinancing should not preclude the future sale of the hotels, either
individually or as a portfolio; however, there is no assurance that the
refinancing, on the terms described above or on other terms, will be
successfully concluded.

Distributions

     The following distributions were paid or accrued to BAC Holders of record
during the first three quarters of 1997 and 1996:

</TABLE>

     As a result of the increase in working capital reserves during 1997, as
discussed above, the distribution levels for the first three quarters of 1997
have decreased from 1996.  Due to the anticipated refinancing of the Notes, as
discussed above, the General Partner expects that distributions may be further
reduced in the fourth quarter of 1997 and continuing into 1998.  The General
Partner expects the distribution for the four quarters ending December 31, 1997
to approximate $1.54 per BAC, versus $2.05 for the four quarters ended December
31, 1996.  Distributions are also 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.

Mini-Tender Offers
- ------------------

     The Partnership has received several requests from BAC Holders for lists of
the names and most current addresses of all BAC Holders.  These requests may be
the first step by such BAC Holders to launch one or more unregistered tender
offers to acquire BACs in the Partnership.  Unregistered tender offers may or
may not reflect the value of the BACs of the Partnership as reflected in trades
on the secondary markets, but historically unregistered tender offers have been
made at steep discounts to secondary market prices.  The Partnership takes no
position as to recommending that BAC Holders accept any tender offers which may
be made.  Because the acceptance of an unregistered tender offer generally is

irrevocable, the General Partner suggests that any BAC Holder check current
prices on the secondary market before making a decision.

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

     The Partnership's net income, which consists principally of revenues from
hotel operations, decreased $42,506 during the three months ended September 30,
1997 from the comparable period in 1996 primarily due to a $33,946 increase in
unallocated operating expenses.  Unallocated operating expenses increased
primarily due to a $20,193 increase in depreciation and amortization expense due
to capital improvement expenditures.  Contributing to the decrease in the
Partnership's net income was a $15,162 increase in rental and other expense due
to increased Lodgenet movie usage and a $12,872 decrease in telephone revenue
due to reduced occupancy and telephone usage.  Partially offsetting the decrease
in the Partnership's net income was a $25,870 increase in room revenue due to
higher room rates.

     The Partnership's net income decreased $179,363 during the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 primarily due to a $148,342 increase in unallocated
operating expenses.  Unallocated operating expenses increased primarily due to a
$54,941 increase in depreciation and amortization expense as discussed above, a
$54,308 increase in general and administrative expenses due to liability
insurance premium increases at the hotels and increased payroll costs at the
Partnership level, and a $34,749 increase in building lease expense at the
Scottsdale hotel.  The increase in unallocated departmental expenses was
partially offset by a $22,674 decrease in marketing expense due to decreased
payroll costs related to the vacancy of the sales director position at the
University hotel which was filled during May 1997.  Contributing to the decrease
in the Partnership's net income was a $51,440 increase in rental and other
expense and a $44,036 decrease in the telephone revenue, as discussed above. 
Partially offsetting the decrease in the Partnership's net income was a $50,322
decrease in rooms expense due to effective control efforts implemented by the
new Minnesota general managers, a $23,344 increase in rental and other income
due to more movie rental income and in-room safe revenue collected and a $21,024
increase in room revenue, 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:
