ITEM 1.   BUSINESS
          --------

Development and Description of Business
- ---------------------------------------

     CRI Hotel Income Partners, L.P. (the Partnership) is a limited partnership
which was formed under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act as
of September 23, 1986 and will continue until December 31, 2016, unless
dissolved earlier in accordance with the Partnership Agreement.  The Partnership
was formed for the purpose of investing in hotels that were acquired from Days
Inns of America, Inc. (Days Inns).  The Partnership's primary objective
continues to be cash flow growth and capital appreciation.  However, the
attainment of this objective is principally dependent on the hotels' operations.
The hotels are operated by Bryanston Group d/b/a Buckhead Hotel Management
Company, Inc. (Buckhead), formerly known as Days Inns Management Company, Inc.,
under the nationally recognized franchise name of Days Inns.

     The General Partner of the Partnership is CRICO Hotel Associates I, L.P.
(CRICO Associates), a Delaware limited partnership, the general partner of which
is C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), a Delaware corporation.  The General Partner has
authority in the overall management and control of the Partnership.  The
Assignor Limited Partner of the Partnership is CRICO Hotel Fund, Inc. (CRICO
Hotel Fund).

     The Registration Statement of the Partnership was declared effective by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 17, 1987, and a prospectus of
the same date was printed.  The Partnership registered a total of 6,000,000
Beneficial Assignee Certificates (BACs), at $25 per BAC, with the SEC.  BACs
represent beneficial assignments of limited partner interests which are held by
CRICO Hotel Fund.  BACs were to be offered in series, with Series A having a
minimum of 196,000 BACs, or $4,900,000, and a maximum of 2,344,000 BACs, or
$58,600,000.  The Partnership terminated the Series A offering on March 31, 1988
with 868,662 BACs, or gross proceeds of $21,716,550, and does not intend to
offer another series.

     The number of BACs sold, along with debt instruments issued by the
Partnership, as discussed below, generated sufficient proceeds to purchase five
hotels and one leasehold interest.  As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership
remained invested in four hotels and one leasehold interest, as discussed below.

     In addition to the capital provided by the sale of BACs, the Partnership
issued Zero Coupon Notes (the Notes) to finance its acquisition of the hotels.
The Partnership's original prospectus indicated that the hotels would need to be
sold or the debt would need to be refinanced at the time the Notes matured.  The
prospectus also indicated that the Partnership intended to sell the hotels
(after a period of time not likely to be longer than twelve years after the date
of acquisition) if financial conditions in the future made such sales desirable.
During 1997, the General Partner solicited and reviewed offers for both sale and
refinancing opportunities for the hotels.  The solicitation, however, did not
result in a purchase offer which would have provided an adequate return to the
BAC holders.   As a result, the General Partner chose to refinance the loans on
the four hotels.  Proceeds of the refinancing were adequate to pay the maturing
Notes and to set aside reserves for capital improvements, which may enhance the
potential for a higher sale price in the future.  The General Partner is not
currently soliciting sale offers.  See Part II, Item 6, Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and the notes to
the financial statements for additional information concerning the 1997
refinancing.

ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR THE REGISTRANT'S PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND
          -----------------------------------------------------
               RELATED PARTNERSHIP MATTERS
               ---------------------------

(a)  The Partnership's Beneficial Assignee Certificates (BACs) are not publicly
     traded on any registered stock exchange but can be traded on an informal
     secondary market.  During 1998 and 1999, a number of investors sold their
     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 exceeded 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 outstanding BACs were
     sold.  Accordingly, to remain within the 5% safe harbor, effective February
     22, 1999, the General Partner again halted recognition of any transfers
     that exceed the safe harbor limit through December 31, 1999. This halt was
     lifted effective January 1, 2000.

(b)  As of March 17, 2000, there were approximately 1,436 registered holders of
     BACs in the Partnership.

(c)  Cash available for distribution, as defined in the Partnership Agreement,
     is intended to be distributed on a quarterly basis within sixty days after
     the end of each calendar quarter. The Partnership paid or accrued
     distributions of $755,736 and $990,274 to BAC Holders during 1999 and 1998,
     respectively. See Part II, Item 6, Management's Discussion and Analysis of
     Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for additional information
     concerning the distributions during the years ended December 31, 1999 and
     1998, and for a discussion of factors which will affect future distribution
     levels.

     By letter dated February 11, 2000, the Partnership notified BAC Holders
     that, due to reduced cash flow caused by decreasing occupancy and room
     rates, no cash distribution would be made for the calendar quarter ended
     December 31, 1999.

ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          -------------------------------------------------
               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               -----------------------------------

     CRI Hotel Income Partners, L.P. (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.

                          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 reserves, the General Partner determined
that certain capital improvements were 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 and the capital
improvements reserves to the hotels for such capital improvements.  During 1999,
the General Partner funded $209,880 from the working capital reserve and the
capital improvements reserves held by the lender to the hotels for capital
improvements.  As of March 17, 2000, the General Partner has approved the
expenditure of approximately $70,000 for the renovation of a portion of the
guest rooms at the Roseville hotel.

     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 liquidity and cash flow in an effort to ensure that sufficient cash
is available for operating requirements and for possible distributions to BAC
Holders.  The Partnership's net cash provided by operating activities for 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 slightly
in 1999 as net additions to property and equipment decreased from 1998.  Cash
and cash equivalents decreased in 1998 principally due to debt service payments
made in connection with the terms of the Partnership's new financing, as
discussed below.  The Partnership anticipates 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 December 31, 1999 totalled $945,376, which amount
represents an $80,639 decrease from the 1998 balance.  This decrease resulted
primarily from a decrease in distributions payable, partially offset by an
increase in hotel trade payables.

          -------------------------------------------------

               -----------------------------------

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. See the notes to the financial statements for further information
concerning the acquisition and servicing of this loan.

     The Partnership made installments of principal and interest aggregating
$804,589 during each of 1999 and 1998.  The Partnership's balance on this loan
was $8,666,770 and $8,778,243 as of December 31, 1999 and 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 $40,745 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

     As a result of reduced cash flow from the hotels, the distribution levels
for 1999 decreased from 1998, and the distribution to BAC holders for the
quarter ended December 31, 1999, was suspended.  The General Partner continues
to monitor closely the operations and cash flow of the hotels, with the goal of
resuming distributions if and when improved cash flow so permits.  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.

                       Partnership's Results of Operations
                       -----------------------------------

1999 versus 1998
- ----------------

     The Partnership's net income, which consists principally of revenues from
hotel operations, decreased $307,986 in 1999 from 1998, primarily due to a
decrease in revenue from hotel operations which was not offset by a decrease in
hotel departmental expenses, by a slight decrease in interest and other income,
and by a slight increase in interest expense.  See the following discussion for
an analysis of each hotel's operating results.

                          -----------------------------

Operating statistics
- --------------------

     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.

1999 versus 1998
- ----------------

Clearwater, Florida:  Gross operating income and operating income decreased in
- -------------------   1999 from 1998 as a result of decreased occupancy, without
any offsetting decrease in departmental expenses or increase in average rate.
The decreased occupancy was the result of increased competition caused by the
recent opening of five new hotels in the Clearwater area.  A further drop in
operating income was caused by equipment lease payments which began in 1999.

Minneapolis, Minnesota:  Gross operating income and operating income increased
- ----------------------   in 1999 from 1998 as a result of an eight percent
increase in average rate, only partially offset by a four percent decrease in
occupancy.  The increase in average rates was attributed to effective revenue
management.  The increase in gross operating income was substantially offset by
increases in sales and marketing expenses, repair and maintenance expenses, and
property taxes.

Plymouth, Minnesota:  Gross operating income and operating income increased in
- -------------------   1999 from 1998 as a result of a nearly eight percent
increase in average rate, only partially offset by a one percent decrease in
occupancy.  The increase in average rate was attributed to guests being willing
to pay higher rates for newly-renovated rooms.  The increase in gross operating
income was substantially offset by increases in sales and marketing expenses,
repair and maintenance expenses, and equipment lease payments which began in
1999.

Roseville, Minnesota:  Gross operating income was essentially flat in 1999 from
- --------------------   1998.  A nine percent increase in average rate was offset
by an eight percent decrease in occupancy.  Operating income decreased in 1999
from 1998 primarily as a result of increased administrative and general
expenses, increased repair and maintenance expenses, and increased equipment
lease payments.

Scottsdale, Arizona:  Gross operating income and operating income decreased in
- -------------------   1999 from 1998 as the result of a seven percent decrease
in occupancy coupled with a three percent decrease in average rate.  The
decrease in gross operating profit was partially offset by decreases in sales
and marketing expenses, management and incentive management fees, and land lease
payments (which are tied to revenue performance).

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

     The Partnership experienced little to no interruption in its computer
operations, or otherwise, as a result of the transition from the year 1999 to
2000.  The Partnership's expenses associated with upgrading and testing its
internal hardware and software systems, data interfaces, business operations and
non-information technology functions which could have been affected by the
transition were not material.

To the Partners
CRI Hotel Income Partners, L.P.

     We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CRI Hotel Income
Partners, L.P. (a Delaware limited partnership) as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, and the related statements of income, changes in partners' (deficit)
capital, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Partnership's management.  Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States.  Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of CRI Hotel Income Partners,
L.P. as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its operations,
changes in partners' (deficit) capital, and cash flows for the years then ended,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     a.   Organization and offering
          -------------------------

          CRI Hotel Income Partners, L.P. (the Partnership) is a limited
     partnership which was formed under the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited
     Partnership Act as of September 23, 1986 and will continue until December
     31, 2016, unless dissolved earlier in accordance with the Partnership
     Agreement.  The Partnership was formed for the purpose of investing in
     hotels that were acquired from Days Inns of America, Inc. (Days Inns).  The
     Partnership's primary objective continues to be cash flow growth and
     capital appreciation.  However, the attainment of this objective is
     principally dependent on the hotels' operations.  The hotels are operated
     by Bryanston Group d/b/a Buckhead Hotel Management Company, Inc.
     (Buckhead), formerly known as Days Inns Management Company, Inc., under the
     nationally recognized franchise name of Days Inns.

          The General Partner of the Partnership is CRICO Hotel Associates I,
     L.P. (CRICO Associates), a Delaware limited partnership, the general
     partner of which is C.R.I., Inc. (CRI), a Delaware corporation.  The
     General Partner has authority in the overall management and control of the
     Partnership.  The Assignor Limited Partner of the Partnership is CRICO
     Hotel Fund, Inc. (CRICO Hotel Fund).

          Cumulative offering costs in the amount of $2,580,132, consisting of
     legal and filing fees and certain travel, communication and other expenses,
     were recorded as a reduction of partners' capital when incurred and are not
     amortized for financial statement or income tax purposes.

          The Registration Statement of the Partnership was declared effective
     by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 17, 1987, and a
     prospectus of the same date was printed.  The Partnership registered a
     total of 6,000,000 Beneficial Assignee Certificates (BACs), at $25 per BAC,
     with the SEC.  BACs represent beneficial assignments of limited partner
     interests which are held by CRICO Hotel Fund.  BACs were to be offered in
     series, with Series A having a minimum of 196,000 BACs, or $4,900,000, and
     a maximum of 2,344,000 BACs, or $58,600,000.  The Partnership terminated
     the Series A offering on March 31, 1988 with 868,662 BACs, or gross
     proceeds of $21,716,550, and does not intend to offer another series.

          In addition to the capital provided by the sale of BACs, the
     Partnership issued Zero Coupon Notes (the Notes) to finance its acquisition
     of the hotels.  The Partnership's original prospectus indicated that the
     hotels would need to be sold or the debt would need to be refinanced at the
     time the Notes matured.  The prospectus also indicated that the Partnership
     intended to sell the hotels (after a period of time not likely to be longer
     than twelve years after the date of acquisition) if financial conditions in
     the future made such sales desirable.  During 1997, the General Partner
     solicited and reviewed offers for both sale and refinancing opportunities
     for the hotels.  The solicitation, however, did not result in a purchase
     offer which would have provided an adequate return to the BAC holders.  As
     a result, the General Partner chose to refinance the loans on the four
     hotels.  Proceeds of the refinancing were adequate to pay the maturing
     Notes and to set aside reserves for capital improvements, which may enhance
     the potential for a higher sale price in the future.  The General Partner
     is not currently soliciting sale offers.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued

     b.   Method of Accounting
          --------------------

          The financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared on the
     accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles
     generally accepted in the United States.

     c.   Use of estimates
          ----------------

          In preparing financial statements in accordance with accounting
     principles generally accepted in the United States, the Partnership is
     required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
     of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and
     liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and of revenues and
     expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from
     those estimates.

     d.   Cash and cash equivalents
          -------------------------

          Cash and cash equivalents consist of all time and demand deposits and
     repurchase agreements with original maturities of three months or less.
     The Partnership has determined that the carrying amounts of its cash and
     cash equivalents approximate fair value.

     e.   Reserve for replacements
          ------------------------

          Since inception of the Partnership's management agreement with
     Buckhead, as discussed below, through December 31, 1997, the hotels
     retained 3% of gross hotel revenues as a reserve for replacement of fixed
     assets.  Beginning January 1, 1998, the hotels no longer retain amounts
     from gross hotel revenues, as such replacement reserves are paid directly
     by the Partnership and held in escrow in accordance with the terms of the
     new financing, as discussed below.

     f.   Depreciation and amortization
          -----------------------------

          Depreciation is based on the estimated useful lives of depreciable
     assets using the straight-line method.  In conjunction with the significant
     capital additions made during 1998, the General Partner changed the
     estimated depreciable lives for those additions; the impact of the change
     was not material.  The estimated lives used in determining depreciation
     follow.

             Type of Asset                         Estimated Life
     ---------------------------------            -----------------
     Building and site improvements               10-30 years
     Furniture, fixtures and equipment            7-10 years
     Leasehold improvements                       7-10 years

          Property purchase costs and acquisition fees are amortized over a
     thirty-year period using the straight-line method.

     g.   Income taxes
          ------------

          For federal and state income tax purposes, each partner reports on his
     or her personal income tax return his or her share of the Partnership's
     income or loss as determined for tax purposes.  Accordingly, no provision
     has been made for income taxes in these financial statements.

     h.   Fair value of financial instruments
          -----------------------------------

          In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
     107, "Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments," the
     Partnership has disclosed the fair value information about financial
     instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.  Where
     applicable, such information has been disclosed elsewhere in the notes to
     the financial statements.

     i.   Reclassifications
          -----------------

          Certain amounts in the 1998 financial statements have been
     reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation.


2.   HOTELS AND LEASEHOLD INTEREST OWNED BY THE PARTNERSHIP

     The number of BACs sold, along with debt instruments issued by the
Partnership, as discussed below, generated sufficient proceeds to purchase five
hotels and one leasehold interest.  As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership
remained invested in four hotels and one leasehold interest, as follows.

     allocated to furniture, fixtures and equipment.


3.   MORTGAGE 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.  Scheduled annual principal
payments due under the loan are as follows:

                    2000                $  129,011
                    2001                   141,461
                    2002                   152,940
                    2003                   165,349
                    2004                   176,920
                    Thereafter           7,901,089

     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 8 for further information concerning the
acquisition and servicing of this loan.

3.   MORTGAGE PAYABLE - Continued

     The Partnership made installments of principal and interest aggregating
$804,589 during each of 1999 and 1998.  The Partnership's balance on this loan
was $8,666,770 and $8,778,243 as of December 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
respectively.

     Based upon the recent refinancing, the Partnership has determined that the
carrying value of the new loan approximates fair value.


4.   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 $40,745 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 December 31, 1999 and 1998, the servicer held $82,400 and $53,486,
respectively, for real estate taxes and $178,010 and $373,151, respectively, for
capital improvements reserves.  These amounts are included in receivables,
capital improvements reserves and other assets in the accompanying financial
statements.


5.   WORKING CAPITAL RESERVE

     The working capital reserve of $107,248 and $122,541 as of December 31,
1999 and 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.


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
