Notes to Financial Statements
September 30, 1996
(Unaudited)
Readers of this quarterly report should refer to the partnership
audited financial statements and annual report Form 10-KSB (File
No. 33-16163-LA) 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
Nashville Super 8 Ltd., A California Limited Partnership (the
Partnership), (formerly Motels of America Series XI), a
California Limited Partnership, was formed on September 1, 1988
pursuant to the California Revised Uniform Limited Partnership
Act. The purpose of the Partnership is to construct, own, and
operate a 110-room "economy" motel under a Super 8 Franchise.
The motel was opened in April 1989.
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. Organization costs are amortized over a 60-
month period.
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.
(Continued)
<PAGE>
NASHVILLE SUPER 8 LTD.,
A California Limited Partnership
Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
Net income per interest is based upon the 90% allocated to
limited partners divided by 3,975 limited partner interests
outstanding throughout the year.
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 Super 8 Motels, Inc. to provide the Partnership
with consultation in the areas of design, construction and
operation of the motel. The agreement required the payment of an
initial fee of $20,000 and ongoing royalties equal to 4% of gross
room revenues and a chain-affiliated advertising fee equal to 2%
of gross room revenues.
During 1994, the franchise agreement was amended to reduce the
Partnership's area of protection in exchange for the franchisor
reducing by one-half the liquidated damages that would be payable
by the Partnership in the event it elects an early termination of
the franchise agreement. In addition, if the franchisor grants a
franchise in the released area and the occupancy rate at the
Partnership's motel drops by three or more points for any twelve
month period, the Partnership may obtain a 1% of gross room sales
reduction in royalties payable for the balance of the franchise
agreement or terminate the franchise agreement upon payment of
the reduced liquidated damages.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The motel is operated pursuant to a management agreement with GHG
Hospitality, Inc. (GHG). The agreement provides for the payment
of monthly management fees of 6% of gross revenues.
(Continued)
<PAGE>
NASHVILLE SUPER 8 LTD.,

Notes to Financial Statements (Continued)
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),
allocate to the Partnership certain marketing, accounting, and
maintenance salaries and certain other expenses directly related
to the operation of the Partnership.
Fees and reimbursements for partnership administration expenses
paid to GHG and GMS for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995 are as follows:

</TABLE>
In addition, all motel employees are paid by GMS. For the three
months ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership reimbursed GMS
$83,601 for the wages of these employees including a one percent
processing fee. At September 30, 1996, $4,707 was owed to GHG
and GMS relating to reimbursement for these operating expenses.
5. LONG-TERM DEBT
The Partnership has a note payable to a bank due in monthly
installments of approximately $2,150, including interest at the
bank's index rate plus 2% (10.25% at September 30, 1996) through
August 2009. The note is secured by a first priority deed of
trust on the Partnership's motel. The fair value of long-term
debt approximates its carrying amount based on the borrowing
rates currently available to the Partnership for loans with
similar terms.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Financial Condition:
On September 1, 1987, the Partnership commenced its public offering
pursuant to its Prospectus. On September 27, 1988, the Partnership
completed the public offering. The Partnership received $3,449,823
(net of offering costs of $525,177) 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 was used to acquire and construct the
110-room "economy" motel on approximately 2 acres of land.
Construction of an indoor swimming pool, workout center, and spa
and renovations of the lobby and certain guest rooms were completed
in 1995. The total cost of the project was approximately $677,300.
The project's cost was funded by cash from operations and a loan of
$184,258 from First Bank & Trust of Tennessee. As of September 30,
1996, a principal balance of $174,223 was outstanding on this note.
The note is payable in monthly installments of approximately $2,150
including interest at two points over the index which is the New
York Consensus Prime as quoted in the Wall Street Journal. The
interest rate at September 30, 1996 was 10.25%. The final balance
is due August 2009. The note is secured by a first priority deed
of trust on the Partnership's motel.
During 1994, the franchise agreement with Super 8 was amended to
reduce the Partnership's area of protection in exchange for the
franchisor reducing by one-half the liquidated damages that would
be payable by the Partnership in the event it elects an early
termination of the franchise agreement. The area of protection
released by the Partnership is small in relation to the original
area of protection and is to the south and west of the
Partnership's motel, away from Opryland and other growth areas. In
addition, if the franchisor grants a franchise in the released area
and the occupancy rate at the Partnership's motel drops by three or
more percentage points for any twelve month period, the Partnership
may obtain a 1% of gross room sales reduction in royalties payable
for the balance of the franchise agreement or terminate the
franchise agreement upon payment of the reduced liquidated damages.
Management has been considering changing to another national
franchisor due to the proliferation of Super 8 motels in the
Nashville area. However, there are no immediate plans to make such
a change.
At September 30, 1996, the Partnership had cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $97,390. Such funds will be utilized
for working capital requirements and to fund the distribution paid
to the partners in November 1996.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, (Continued)
Results of Operations:
For the three months ended September 30, 1996, room revenues were
$339,959, the occupancy rate was 63.48% and the average daily rate
was $54.91. This compares to the three months ended September 30,
1995 when room revenues were $376,552, the occupancy rate was
77.98% and the average daily rate was $49.05.
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, room revenues were
$848,108, the occupancy rate was 54.85% and the average daily rate
was $53.23. This compares to the nine months ended September 30,
1995, when the room revenues were $911,216, the occupancy rate was
72.78% and the average daily rate was $43.04.
Occupancy in the Nashville area is down for 1996 compared to 1995.
This is due in part to the fact that Nashville has become over
built with hotels. Another factor causing this decline in business
was the severe weather conditions in the winter season. The
partnership's occupancy was down 14 1/2% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. The partnership had a temporary contract with
American Eagle Airlines in 1995 that added to our occupancy
percentage for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
In Management's effort to recover from the decline in occupancy,
they have replaced the motel's general manager. The new general
manger is Art Darden. He joins us from Opreyland Hotel where he
was Conference Sales Manager and Assistant Front Desk Manager for
several years. He began in the second week of October and
occupancy at the property is already showing an increase.
The effect of current operations on liquidity was net cash provided
by operating activities of $196,166 for the three months ending
September 30, 1996 and $215,683 for the nine months ended September
30, 1995. Investment property expenditures were $1,354 for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 and $25,185 for the nine
months ended September 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.
