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) reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary
to present fairly the Partnership's financial position as of March 31, 1998, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997.  The results of operations for the interim period ended
March 31, 1998, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year.

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB.  Certain information and accounting policies and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted pursuant to the instructions.  These financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes included in the
Partnership's Annual Report filed on Form 10-K at December 31, 1997.


2.   NOTES PAYABLE

     On December 19, 1997, the Partnership refinanced with Citicorp Real Estate,
Inc. ("Citicorp") the Zero Coupon Notes ("the former Notes") which were
originally issued in connection with the Partnership's acquisition of the
hotels.  The amounts due on the former Notes as of December 19, 1997, were as
follows:

</TABLE>

     The new loan proceeds of $8.9 million were in excess of the amount needed
to pay the former Notes of $7,874,369 due as of December 19, 1997.  Such excess
was used to pay the costs of refinancing and to fund needed capital improvements
at the hotels.  The new loan bears interest at the rate of 7.72% per annum and
matures January 1, 2008.  On that date, a balloon payment in the amount of
$7,136,233 will be due.  In connection with the terms of the new loan, the
Partnership began paying monthly installments of principal and interest in the
amount of $67,049 to Citicorp on the first day of each month beginning February
1998.  If any such monthly installment is not paid when due, the entire
principal amount outstanding and accrued interest thereon shall at once become
due and payable, at the option of Citicorp.  Subject to prepayment terms, as

2.   NOTES PAYABLE - Continued

discussed below, the refinancing of the former Notes does not preclude the
future sale of the hotels, either individually or as a portfolio.

     Under the terms of the new loan, commencing January 1, 2002, such loan may
be prepaid, subject to terms and prepayment penalties as set forth in the loan
agreement.  Citicorp has notified the General Partner that it intends to
securitize the new loan in a "no lock" program, which would permit the
prepayment of the new loan with a 3% penalty during the first three years, a 2%
penalty during the next three years, a 1% penalty during the next three years,
and no penalty during the final year.  The General Partner is working with
Citicorp to modify the loan documents accordingly.

     The Partnership made installments of principal and interest aggregating
$201,148 during the three months ended March 31, 1998.  The Partnership's
balance on this loan was $8,870,433 and $8,900,000 as of March 31, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, respectively.


3.   REAL ESTATE AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS RESERVE ESCROWS

     In addition to the monthly loan installments payable to Citicorp, as
discussed above, the Partnership must also make monthly payments to Citicorp to
be escrowed for estimated annual real estate taxes and capital improvements and
furniture, fixtures and equipment reserves (CIR).  The monthly real estate tax
payments should equal one-twelfth of the estimated yearly taxes and assessments
to be levied on the hotels, currently estimated as $37,761 per month.   Citicorp
will pay such taxes and assessments when due from these escrows.  The monthly
CIR payment totalling $19,365 shall be held in escrow by Citicorp and may be
drawn on by the Partnership for deferred maintenance and/or ongoing capital
improvement expenditures and for the replacement of furniture, fixtures and
equipment at the hotels.  Both the real estate tax and CIR payments are due to
Citicorp on the same day as the monthly principal and interest installments,
commencing February 1, 1998 until the new loan is paid in full.

     As of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, Citicorp held $143,856 and
$75,522, respectively, for real estate taxes and $344,819 and $286,725,
respectively, for capital improvement reserves.  These amounts are included in
Receivables, reserve for replacements and other assets in the accompanying
financial statements. 


4.   WORKING CAPITAL RESERVES

     The working capital reserve of $1,028,232 and $925,000 as of March 31, 1998
and December 31, 1997, respectively, consists of $800,000 set aside for Phase II
of renovations to be performed at the hotels during 1998, and $228,232 and
$125,000 as of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively, set aside for
contingencies.  The working capital reserve may be increased or reduced by the
General Partner as deemed appropriate.


5.   DISTRIBUTIONS TO BAC HOLDERS

     The following distributions were paid or accrued to BAC Holders of record
during the first quarters of 1998 and 1997:

6.   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 was for an initial term of ten years, with a
     five-year renewal option.  The agreements called for a base management fee
     of 2.5% 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 called 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 Series A hotels owned by the Partnership.  

          On January 1, 1993, the management agreements between the Partnership
     and Buckhead pertaining to Buckhead's management of each of the hotels were
     amended to extend the existing term of each agreement for an additional two
     to five years and increase the base management fee from 2.5% to 3.5% of
     gross revenue.  As amended, the management agreements expire between
     November 2002 and July 2003.  The amendments for the Clearwater Days Inn
     and the Scottsdale Days Inn included modifications to the method of
     calculating the incentive management fee.  No incentive management fees
     were earned for the first quarters of 1998 or 1997.

     b.   Operating lease agreements
          --------------------------

          The Partnership assumed an existing lease agreement from Days Inns in
     connection with the acquisition of the leasehold interest in the Scottsdale
     Days Inn. The assumption transfers the rights to operate the property on
     the lease's existing terms over the remaining life of the lease.  The lease
     has been extended to expire on January 31, 2004.  The lease may be renewed
     at the option of the lessee for an additional 5-year period.  Annual lease
     payments are equal to the greater of $140,450 or 22% of total room revenue
     and 2.5% of food and beverage revenue.  Minimum lease payments of $11,704
     are payable monthly with a quarterly analysis of the actual amount due. 
     For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, lease payments were
     $269,778, and $276,470, respectively.

     c.   Ground lease agreement
          ----------------------

          The Partnership entered into a ground lease with Vicorp Restaurants,
     Inc. (Vicorp) effective January 1991, pursuant to which the Partnership is
     leasing a portion of the Minneapolis Days Inn property to Vicorp, which is
     operating a restaurant (Baker's Square) on the property.  Gross rental
     income pursuant to the lease agreement, which is included in Interest and
     other income on the accompanying statements of income, was $13,518 and
     $13,061 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.


7.   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 $11,903 and $12,080 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
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 during each of the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.

               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               -----------------------------------

     CRI Hotel Income Partners, L.P.'s (the Partnership) Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains
information that may be considered forward looking, including statements
regarding the effect of governmental regulations.  Actual results may differ
materially from those described in the forward looking statements and will be
affected by a variety of factors including seasonality with respect to the hotel
industry, national and local economic conditions, the general level of interest
rates, terms of governmental regulations that affect the Partnership and
interpretations of those regulations, the competitive environment in which the
Partnership operates, and the availability of working capital.

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

     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
1997, the Partnership funded $361,584 from the working capital reserve to the
hotels to address such capital improvements.  The General Partner intends to
fund additional monies to the hotels for further needed capital improvements. 
See further discussion in the working capital reserve section 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 three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 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.  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, and to fund working capital and replacement
reserves.  Current liabilities as of March 31, 1998 totalled $1,238,489, which
represents a $150,208 decrease from the balance as of December 31, 1997.  This
decrease primarily resulted from a decrease in trade payables at all of the
hotels, offset by increases in distributions payable and in accounts payable and
accrued expenses.

Citicorp Financing
- ------------------

     On December 19, 1997, the Partnership refinanced with Citicorp Real Estate,
Inc. ("Citicorp") the Zero Coupon Notes ("the former Notes") which were
originally issued in connection with the Partnership's acquisition of the
hotels.  The amounts due on the former Notes as of December 19, 1997, were as
follows:

     The new loan proceeds of $8.9 million were in excess of the amount needed
to pay the former Notes of $7,874,369 due as of December 19, 1997.  Such excess
was used to pay the costs of refinancing and to fund needed capital improvements
at the hotels.  The new loan bears interest at the rate of 7.72% per annum and
matures January 1, 2008.  On that date, a balloon payment in the amount of
$7,136,233 will be due.  In connection with the terms of the new loan, the
Partnership began paying monthly installments of principal and interest in the
amount of $67,049 to Citicorp on the first day of each month beginning February
1998.  If any such monthly installment is not paid when due, the entire
principal amount outstanding and accrued interest thereon shall at once become
due and payable, at the option of Citicorp.  Subject to prepayment terms, as
discussed below, the refinancing of the former Notes does not preclude the
future sale of the hotels, either individually or as a portfolio.

     Under the terms of the new loan, commencing January 1, 2002, such loan may
be prepaid, subject to terms and prepayment penalties as set forth in the loan
agreement.  Citicorp has notified the General Partner that it intends to
securitize the new loan in a "no lock" program, which would permit the
prepayment of the new loan with a 3% penalty during the first three years, a 2%
penalty during the next three years, a 1% penalty during the next three years,
and no penalty during the final year.  The General Partner is working with
Citicorp to modify the loan documents accordingly.

     The Partnership made installments of principal and interest aggregating
$201,148 during the three months ended March 31, 1998.  The Partnership's
balance of this loan was $8,870,433 and $8,900,000 as of March 31, 1998 and
December 31, 1997, respectively.

Real Estate And Capital Improvements Reserve Escrows
- ----------------------------------------------------

     In addition to the monthly loan installments payable to Citicorp, as
discussed above, the Partnership must also make monthly payments to Citicorp to
be escrowed for estimated annual real estate taxes and capital improvements and
furniture, fixtures and equipment reserves (CIR).  The monthly real estate tax
payments should equal one-twelfth of the estimated yearly taxes and assessments
to be levied on the hotels, currently estimated as $37,761 per month.   Citicorp
will pay such taxes and assessments when due from these escrows.  The monthly
CIR payment totalling $19,365 shall be held in escrow by Citicorp and may be

drawn on by the Partnership for deferred maintenance and/or ongoing capital
improvement expenditures and for the replacement of furniture, fixtures and
equipment at the hotels.  Both the real estate tax and CIR payments are due to
Citicorp on the same day as the monthly principal and interest installments,
commencing February 1, 1998 until the new loan is paid in full.

     As of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, Citicorp held $143,856 and
$75,522, respectively, for real estate taxes and $344,819 and $286,725,
respectively, for capital improvement reserves.  These amounts are included in
Receivables, reserve for replacements and other assets in the accompanying
financial statements. 

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

     The working capital reserve of $1,028,232 and $925,000 as of March 31, 1998
and December 31, 1997, respectively, consists of $800,000 set aside for Phase II
of renovations to be performed at the hotels during 1998, and $228,232 and
$125,000 as of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, respectively, set aside for
contingencies.  The working capital reserve may be increased or reduced by the
General Partner as deemed appropriate.

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

     The Partnership's net income, which consists principally of revenues from
hotel operations, increased approximately $78,000 during the three months ended
March 31, 1998 from the comparable period in 1997 primarily due to an increase
in room revenue resulting from increases in room rates at all of the hotels, a
decrease in energy costs due to a mild winter during 1998 and decreased
occupancy at four of the hotels, and an increase in interest income due to
higher working capital balances.  Partially offsetting the increase in the
Partnership's net income was an increase in general and administrative costs
primarily due to increased payroll costs at the Roseville hotel, and a decrease
in rental and other income due to the closing of the Happy Chef restaurant at
the Roseville hotel.  This restaurant will be replaced with a new tenant which
will begin operations by the end of May 1998.

     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:

     Gross operating income for the Clearwater hotel for the three months ended

occupancy and decreased energy costs due to a mild winter.  Gross operating

hotel for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased from the same period
in 1997 primarily due to increased demand in the area which resulted in
increased occupancy and increased room rates coupled with decreased energy costs
due to a mild winter.  Gross operating income and operating income for the
Scottsdale hotel for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased from the
same period in 1997 primarily due to higher room rates which resulted from
reduced contract business.

                            Year 2000 Computer Issue
                            ------------------------

     The Year 2000 ("Y2K") Computer Issue refers to the inability of many
computer systems in use today to recognize "00" in the date field as the year
2000 and to recognize the year 2000 as a leap year.  The Y2K problem arose
because, for many years, computer software programs, including programs embedded
in hardware, utilized only the last two digits to specify the year with the
assumption that the first two digits were "19."  As a result, such programs may
not be able to recognize and process dates beyond 1999; rather they may
recognize and  process "00," "01," "02,", etc., incorrectly as 1900, 1901, 1902,
instead of as 2000, 2001, 2002.  In the opinion of computer experts, this could
cause such programs to create erroneous results, malfunction, or fail completely
unless corrective measures are taken.

     The Partnership utilizes software and related computer technologies
essential to its operations that will be affected by the Y2K issue.  The
Managing General Partner is studying what actions will be necessary to make its
computer systems Year 2000 compliant; certain upgrades are already scheduled. 
The expense associated with these actions cannot presently be determined, but
the Managing General Partner does not expect it to be material.
