                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998

                                   (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) reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary
to present fairly the Partnership's financial position as of March 31, 1999, and
the results of its operations and its cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998.  The results of operations for the interim period ended
March 31, 1999, 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 notes thereto included in the
Partnership's Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB at December 31, 1998.


2.   NOTES PAYABLE

     On December 19, 1997, the Partnership refinanced with Citicorp Real Estate,
Inc. (Citicorp) the Zero Coupon Notes (Former Notes) which were originally
issued in connection with the Partnership's acquisition of the hotels.  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 $7,273,441
will be due.  In accordance with the terms of the new loan, the Partnership
began paying monthly installments of principal and interest in the amount of
$67,049 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 the holder.  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, such loan may be prepaid, subject to terms
and prepayment penalties as set forth in the note.  The new loan has been
securitized in a "no lock" program, which permits the prepayment of the new loan
with a 3% premium during the first three years, a 2% premium during the next
three years, a 1% premium during the next three years, and no penalty during the
final year.  Additionally, see Note 7 for further information pertaining to the
acquisition and servicing of this loan.

     The Partnership made installments of principal and interest aggregating
$201,148 during the three months ended both March 31, 1999 and 1998.  The
Partnership's balance on this loan was $8,754,251 and $8,778,243 as of March 31,
1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.

                                   (Unaudited)

3.   REAL ESTATE TAX AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS RESERVE ESCROWS

     In addition to the monthly loan installments, as discussed above, the
Partnership also makes monthly payments which are escrowed for estimated annual
real estate taxes and capital improvements reserves (CIR).  The monthly real
estate tax payments equal one-twelfth of the estimated yearly taxes and
assessments to be levied on the hotels, currently estimated as $37,761 per
month.  The servicer of the loan pays such taxes and assessments when due from
these escrows.  The monthly CIR payment totalling $19,365 is held in escrow 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
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, 1999 and December 31, 1998, Citicorp held $166,769 and
$53,486, respectively, for real estate taxes and $132,662 and $373,151,
respectively, for capital improvement reserves.  These amounts are included in
receivables, capital improvements reserves and other assets in the accompanying
financial statements. 


4.   WORKING CAPITAL RESERVE

     The working capital reserve of $160,740 and $122,541 as of March 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998, respectively, represents funds held in reserve, initially
established in an amount of not less than 1% of Series A gross offering
proceeds, which are maintained as working capital for the Partnership.  The
working capital reserve may be increased or reduced by the General Partner as it
deems appropriate.  


5.   DISTRIBUTIONS TO BAC HOLDERS

     The following distributions were paid or accrued to BAC holders of record
during the first quarters of 1999 and 1998:

6.   COMMITMENTS

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

          The Partnership entered into management agreements with Bryanston
     Group d/b/a Buckhead Hotel Management Company, Inc. (Buckhead) in
     connection with operation of the hotels.  The management agreements expire
     between November 2002 and July 2003, and provide for a base asset
     management fee of 3.5% of gross revenues from operations.  The management
     agreements also call for a marketing fee of 1.5% of net room revenues, a
     reservation fee of 2.3% of gross revenues from rental of hotel guest rooms,
     and an incentive management fee 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.  No incentive management fees were earned for the first
     quarters of 1999 or 1998.  

     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 five 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, 1999 and 1998, lease payments
     were $235,374 and $269,778, 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 in the accompanying statements of income, was $13,991 and
     $13,518 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, 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 $7,723 and $11,903 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998,
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 in the accompanying statements of
income. 

     The amount of the base asset management fee earned by the General Partner
and/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
$23,438 during each of the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998.

     The $8.9 million loan originated and underwritten by Citicorp (see Note 2)
was acquired by CRIIMI MAE Inc., and was included in a securitization by it in
June 1998.  As master and special servicer for the loan pool, CRIIMI MAE
Services Limited Partnership, a CRIIMI MAE affiliate, will retain a portion of
the cash flow, as well as any prepayment penalties.  The Chairman and President
of CRIIMI MAE Inc. are the Chairman and President, respectively, of, and holders
of a 100% equity interest in, C.R.I., Inc. which is the general partner of CRICO
Hotel Associates I, L.P., which, in turn, is the General Partner of the
Partnership.

               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 section 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.

     During 1998 and 1999, a number of investors sold their Beneficial Assignee
Certificates (BACs) in the Partnership to other investors.  If more than 5% of
the total outstanding BACs in the Partnership are transferred in any one
calendar year (not counting certain exempt transfers), the Partnership could be
taxed as a "publicly traded partnership," with potentially severe implications
for the Partnership and its investors.  Specifically, the Partnership would be
taxed as a corporation and the income and losses from the Partnership would no
longer be considered a passive activity.  From January 1 through May 22, 1998,
approximately 4.9% of outstanding BACs were sold.  Accordingly, to remain within
the 5% safe harbor, effective June 1, 1998, the General Partner of the
Partnership halted recognition of any transfers that exceed the safe harbor
limit through December 31, 1998.  This halt was lifted effective January 1,
1999.  From January 1, 1999 through February 15, 1999, approximately 4.9% of the
outstanding BACs were sold.  To remain within the 5% safe harbor, effective
February 22, 1999, the General Partner has again halted recognition of any
transfers that exceed the safe harbor limit through December 31, 1999.  As a
result, transfers of BACs due to sales transactions will not be recognized by
the Partnership until after December 31, 1999.

                          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 the periodic replacement of fixed assets, which are primarily
funded from the capital improvements reserve, the General Partner has determined
that certain capital improvements may be needed to enhance the marketability of
the hotels.  During 1998 and 1997, the Partnership funded a total of
approximately $1.2 million from the working capital reserve to the hotels for
such capital improvements, and the General Partner intends to fund additional
Partnership monies to the hotels during 1999 for further needed capital
improvements. 

     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 and liquidity 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, 1999 and 1998, along with existing cash resources,
was adequate to support operating, investing and financing requirements, and to
declare distributions to BAC holders and the General Partner.  Cash and cash
equivalents increased during the three months ended March 31, 1999 primarily due
to net withdrawals from the capital improvements reserves.  The General Partner

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 the working capital
and capital improvements reserves.  Current liabilities as of March 31, 1999
totalled $1,363,949, which represents a $337,934 increase from the balance as of
December 31, 1998.  This increase primarily resulted from an increase in accrued
liabilities at all five of the hotels, an increase in distributions payable, and
an increase in trade payables at three of the hotels.

Financing
- ---------

     On December 19, 1997, the Partnership refinanced with Citicorp Real Estate,
Inc. (Citicorp) the Zero Coupon Notes (Former Notes) which were originally
issued in connection with the Partnership's acquisition of the hotels.  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 $7,273,441
will be due.  In accordance with the terms of the new loan, the Partnership
began paying monthly installments of principal and interest in the amount of
$67,049 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 the holder.  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, such loan may be prepaid, subject to terms
and prepayment penalties as set forth in the note.  The new loan has been
securitized in a "no lock" program, which permits the prepayment of the new loan
with a 3% premium during the first three years, a 2% premium during the next
three years, a 1% premium during the next three years, and no penalty during the
final year. 

     The Partnership made installments of principal and interest aggregating
$201,148 during the three months ended both March 31, 1999 and 1998.  The
Partnership's balance on this loan was $8,754,251 and $8,778,243 as of March 31,
1999 and December 31, 1998, respectively.

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

     In addition to the monthly loan installments, as discussed above, the
Partnership also makes monthly payments which are escrowed for estimated annual
real estate taxes and capital improvements reserves (CIR).  The monthly real
estate tax payments equal one-twelfth of the estimated yearly taxes and
assessments to be levied on the hotels, currently estimated as $37,761 per
month.  The servicer of the loan pays such taxes and assessments when due from
these escrows.  The monthly CIR payment totalling $19,365 is held in escrow 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
on the same day as the monthly principal and interest installments, commencing
February 1, 1998 until the new loan is paid in full.

     The working capital reserve of $160,740 and $122,541 as of March 31, 1999
and December 31, 1998, respectively, represents funds held in reserve, initially
established in an amount of not less than 1% of Series A gross offering
proceeds, which are maintained as working capital for the Partnership.  The
working capital reserve may be increased or reduced by the General Partner as it
deems appropriate.

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

     The Partnership's net income, which consists principally of revenues from
hotel operations, decreased approximately $148,000 during the three months ended
March 31, 1999 from the comparable period in 1998 primarily due to a decrease in
rooms revenue, which was caused by new competition at the Clearwater and
Scottsdale hotels and a decline in the trucking business at the Roseville hotel,
resulting in decreased occupancy at each of these hotels; the decrease in net
income was also due to an increase in property operations and maintenance
expense due to necessary repairs and upgrades resulting from renovation work
performed at the hotels which did not qualify as capitalizable improvements. 
Contributing to the decrease in the Partnership's net income were a decrease in
telephone revenue due to decreased occupancy at all of the hotels, and a
decrease in interest and other income due to lower cash and cash equivalent and
working capital balances during 1999.  Partially offsetting the decrease in the
Partnership's net income were a decrease in building lease expense due to
decreased revenues at the Scottsdale hotel (the building lease is based on a
percentage of rental revenues), a decrease in rooms expense due to decreased

occupancy at all of the hotels combined with various staffing shortages, and a
decrease in depreciation and amortization expense due to a large portion of
fixed assets which became fully depreciated during 1998.

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

     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:

revenue from rooms, telephone, food and beverage, and rental and other, less the
related departmental expenses.  Operating Income (Loss) represents Gross
Operating Income less unallocated operating income (expenses).  The operating
results and average occupancy for the hotels for the three months ended March
31, 1999 and 1998, follow.

(1)  Weighted average occupancy is computed by taking into consideration the
     number of rooms at each location.

     Gross operating income and operating income for the Clearwater hotel for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased from the same period in 1998
primarily due to the opening of five new hotels in the Clearwater area; this new
competition resulted in decreased occupancy at the hotel.  Gross operating
income for the Minneapolis hotel for the three months ended March 31, 1999
increased from the same period in 1998 primarily due to a shift in the market
mix at the hotel to attract higher-rated business, while sacrificing small
amounts of occupancy.  Operating income for the Minneapolis hotel for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 decreased from the same period in 1998 primarily due
to increases in repairs and maintenance expense and property tax expense, both
of which indirectly resulted from renovation work performed at the hotel.  Gross
operating income for the Plymouth hotel for the three months ended March 31,
1999 increased from the same period in 1998 primarily due to the positive effect
of rooms renovation at the hotel during 1998, which attracted higher-rated
business in 1999.  Operating loss for the Plymouth hotel for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 was greater compared to the same period in 1998 primarily
due to a new television lease for the hotel and increased repairs and
maintenance expense.  Gross operating income and operating income for the
Roseville hotel for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased from the
same period in 1998 primarily due to a decline in the trucking business in that
area which resulted in a significant decrease in occupancy at the hotel.  Gross
operating income and operating income for the Scottsdale hotel for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 decreased from the same period in 1998 primarily due
to a recent surge in mid-level hotel growth in the Scottsdale area, resulting in
decreased occupancy at the hotel.

                            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.  To address
the issue, the Managing General Partner has developed and is currently
implementing a plan (the "Y2K Project") designed to ensure that the Y2K date
change will not have an adverse impact on the Partnership's operations.  The Y2K
Project is on schedule and the Managing General Partner expects completion by
the end of 1999.  The Y2K Project consists of four phases -- Planning,
Assessment, Implementation and Testing.  The Planning Phase began early in 1998
and is complete.  Under the Planning Phase, the Managing General Partner
conducted an inventory of all internal hardware and software systems, data
interfaces, business operations and non-information technology functions which
may be susceptible to the Y2K issue.  This phase was completed at the end of
November, 1998.  Under the next phase, the Assessment Phase, all applications
and functions identified in the Planning Phase were analyzed to determine Y2K
compliance and the materiality of each identified risk.  In the event of
noncompliance, for material risks, timetables for corrective action, as well as
estimated costs to achieve compliance, were determined.  This phase was
completed during the first quarter of 1999.  The Implementation Phase is now
underway.  Renovation and replacement of existing internal hardware and software
systems have begun and completion is expected by June 1999.  Additionally, the
Managing General Partner is currently working with third party vendors, service
providers, and Buckhead to verify their Y2K compliance, with completion expected
by June 1999.  The Testing Phase, which will include testing of internal
applications as well as some third party systems, began during January 1999 and
will continue throughout 1999.  Contingency planning commenced during the fourth
quarter 1998 and will be completed by year-end 1999.  The Managing General
Partner does not expect the expense associated with the Y2K Project to be
material.
