                  Notes to Financial Statements
                         June 30, 1996 

Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the partnership
audited financial statements and annual report Form 10-KSB (File
No. 000-18080) for the period ended December 31, 1995, as certain
footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those
contained in such financial reports have been omitted from this
report.

1.  THE PARTNERSHIP AND A SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING       
    POLICIES

Mission Valley Comfort Suites Ltd., A California Limited
Partnership (the Partnership), (formerly Motels of America Series
X), a California Limited Partnership, was formed on September 18,
1987 pursuant to the California Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act.  The purpose of the Partnership is to construct,
own, and operate a 122-room "suites only" motel under a franchise
agreement with Choice Hotels International, Inc.  The motel was
opened in September 1988.

The following is a summary of the Partnership's significant
accounting policies:

    Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership considers all highly liquid instruments purchased
with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.

    Investment Property

Investment property is recorded at cost.  Depreciation is
computed using the straight-line method based on estimated useful
lives of 5 to 35 years.  Maintenance and repair costs are
expensed as incurred, while significant improvements,
replacements, and major renovation are capitalized.

    Franchise Fees

Franchise fees are amortized over the 20-year life of the
franchise agreement.

    Income Taxes

No provision for income taxes has been made as any liability for
such taxes would be that of the partners rather than the
Partnership.

    Net Income per Interest

Net income per interest is based upon the 90% allocated to
limited partners divided by 5,900 limited partner interests
outstanding throughout the year.

              Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)


2.  PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

Net income or loss and cash distributions from operations of the
Partnership are allocated 90% to the limited partners and 10% to
the general partner.  Profits from the sale or other disposition
of Partnership property are to be allocated to the general
partner until its capital account equals zero; thereafter, to the
limited partners until their capital accounts equal their capital
contributions reduced by prior distributions of cash from sale or
refinancing plus an amount equal to a cumulative but not
compounded annual 8% return thereon which cumulative return shall
be reduced (but not below zero) by the aggregate amount of prior
distributions of cash available for distribution; thereafter,
gain shall be allocated 15% to the general partner and 85% to the
limited partners.  Loss from sale shall be allocated 1% to the
general partner and 99% to the limited partners.

3.  FRANCHISE AGREEMENT

The Partnership has entered into a twenty-year franchise
agreement with Choice Hotels International, Inc. to provide the
Partnership with consultation in the areas of design,
construction and operation of the motel.  The agreement required
the payment of initial franchise fees of $50,000 and requires
ongoing royalty and chain-affiliated advertising fees based on a
percentage of gross room revenues.  

4.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The motel is operated pursuant to a management agreement with GHG
Hospitality, Inc. (GHG), the general partner.  The agreement
provides for the payment of monthly management fees of 6% of
gross revenues.

The Partnership has agreed to reimburse GHG for certain expenses
related to services performed in maintaining the books and
administering the affairs of the Partnership.

GHG and an affiliate, GMS Management Services, Inc. (GMS),
formerly Grosvenor Management Services, Inc., allocate to the
Partnership certain marketing, accounting, and maintenance
salaries and certain other expenses directly related to the
operation of the Partnership.

</TABLE>

In addition, all motel employees are paid by GMS.  The
Partnership reimbursed GMS $85,552 for the wages of these
employees which includes a one percent processing fee.

At June 30, 1996, $30,846 was due to GHG and GMS relating to
reimbursement for these operating expenses.

5.  LONG-TERM DEBT

The Partnership has a note payable which is due in monthly
installments of $2,175, including 8% interest, through April
2013.  The note is secured by a trust deed on the Partnership's
motel.  The balance outstanding was $240,402 as of June 30, 1996.
The fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying amount
based on borrowing rates currently available to the Partnership
for loans with similar terms.

Principal payments on this note are due as follows:

               1996                     $  6,847
               1997                        7,415

6.  LEASE 

The Partnership leases the land underlying its motel under an
operating lease which expires in 2046.  Prior to April 1, 1993,
rents were subject to annual increases based on the greater of 2-
1/2% or the increase in the Consumer Price Index.  The total
minimum rentals over the life of the lease, including the effects
of the 2-1/2% minimum annual increases, were being recognized on
the straight-line basis as required by generally accepted
accounting principles.  Effective April 1, 1993, the lease was
amended to lower the rent payment to $20,000 per month.  Rents
are still subject to annual increases based on the increase in
the Consumer Price Index, but the maximum annual increase is 5%
and there is no minimum annual increase.  The rent payment was
$21,063 per month as of December 31, 1995.  As a result of the
amendment to the lease agreement, a deferred rent liability of
$1,594,894, which was incurred prior to April 1, 1993, is being
credited to income on a straight-line basis over the remaining
term of the lease.  The Partnership is required to pay real
estate taxes, insurance, and maintenance for the leased land and
improvements thereon.  

Future minimum lease payments are due as follows:

               1996                  $   252,756
               1997                      252,756
               1998                      252,756
               1999                      252,756
               2000                      252,756
               Thereafter             11,605,713
                                     -----------
                                     $12,869,493
                                     ===========

7.  ADJUSTMENTS

In the opinion of the general partners, all adjustments
(consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
a fair presentation have been made to the accompanying figures as
of and for the six months ended June 30, 1996.

8.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In August 1996, the Partnership paid a distribution of $81,000.90
to the limited partners.

                                 9

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition:

On February 6, 1987, the Partnership commenced its public
offering pursuant to its Prospectus.  On March 21, 1988, the
Partnership completed the public offering.  The Partnership
received $5,117,287 (net of offering costs of $782,713) from the
sale of limited partnership interests.  These funds were
available for investment in property, to pay legal fees and other
costs related to the investments, to pay operating expenses, and
for working capital.  The majority of the proceeds were used to
acquire and construct the property identified in Item 2 above.

As a result of cost overruns related to the acquisition and
construction of the motel, the Partnership borrowed $200,000 from
the party that is the lessor under its land lease.  The note is
payable in monthly installments of $2,175, including interest at
8%, over a 20-year period.

In 1994, the Partnership was notified by its franchisor, Choice
Hotels International, Inc., that it was required to make certain
improvements to its motel property in order to retain the
franchise.  In addition, the Partnership decided to make certain
discretionary improvements to its motel property.  The total cost
of these improvements were approximately $148,000.        

The deferred rent liability represents amounts accrued under the
Partnership's land lease prior to April 1, 1993.  Under the
original land lease, annual rent increases were based on the
greater of 2-1/2% or the increase in the Consumer Price Index. 
The Partnership was required by generally accepted accounting
principles to record rent expense and a deferred rent liability
based on projecting the 2-1/2% minimum annual rent increase over
the 60-year term of the lease.  Effective April 1, 1993, the land
lease was amended.  Under the amended land lease, monthly rent
payments were reduced from $30,138 per month to $20,000 per
month.  Annual rent increases are based on the lesser of the
increase in the Consumer Price Index or 5%, and there is no
minimum annual increase.  Rent expense under the amended lease is
significantly lower than under the previous lease.  In addition,
the deferred rent liability accrued prior to April 1, 1993 is
being credited to income on a straight-line basis over the
remaining term of the lease.  

Results of Operations:

For the three months ended June 30, 1996, room revenues were
$516,908, the occupancy rate was 79.7% and the average daily rate
was $58.42.  This compares to the three months ended June 30,
1995 when room revenues were $457,243, the occupancy rate was
69.2% and the average daily rate was $59.52.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)

For the six months ended June 30, 1996, room revenues were
$945,691, the occupancy rate was 75.09% and average daily rate
was $56.72.  This compares to June 30, 1995 with room revenues of
$845,524, occupancy rate of 67.18% and average daily rate of
$57.00.

The three months ended June 30, 1996 compared with the three
months ended June 30, 1995, shows an average daily rate decrease
of $1.10 per room while occupancy increased by more than ten
percentage points, resulting in an increase in room revenue of
$59.664.  Profit for the three months ended June 30, 1996
increased by $40.992 when compared with the three months ended
June 30, 1995.  Year-to-date figures for the six months ended
June 30, 1996 show occupancy increased by approximately eight
percentage points and room revenue is $100,168 more than the six
months ended June 30, 1995.

Choice contributed a total of 2006 room nights (22.6% of our
business) through its reservation system, approximately 400 room
nights less than last year.  The renovated Choice property
located within a mile and a half of our Comfort Suites opened in
June and we received 100 fewer room nights from Choice for June. 
Choice reservations were also down previous to the opening of the
renovated property--100 room nights in April and 200 room nights
in May.  As shown above, however, our overall occupancy and
revenue is up considerably.

Triple A, a major source of business, recently conducted its
inspection of the hotel.  To retain the property's rating in
1997, AAA indicated the pool deck and walkway will require
resurfacing in addition to replacing the lobby/breakfast area
carpet.  The approximate cost of these renovations will be
$20,000.  In compliance with Choice requirements, electronic
locks will be installed in September at a cost of approximately
$38,000.  Choice announced at its recent Regional meeting that
in-room coffeemakers will be a requirements next year.

The effect of current operations on liquidity was net cash
provided by operating activities of $216,572 for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and $173,982 for the six months ended June
30, 1995.  

Seasonality:

The motel business is seasonal with the third quarter being the
strongest due to the tourist business and the last half of the
fourth quarter and the first half of the first quarter being the
weakest.  It is not unusual for the motel operations to have
negative cash flow during this weak period.
