Notes to the Financial Statements

The unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Partnership's annual 1995 audited financial statements within Form 10-K.

The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of financial
position as of September 30, 1996 and the results of operations and cash flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 and the statement of
partner's capital for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. Results of
operations for the periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.

The following  significant event has occurred subsequent to fiscal year 1995,
which requires disclosure in this interim report per Regulation S-X, Rule
10-01, Paragraph (a)(5).

Promissory Note

On October 18, 1996, the Partnership entered into a loan agreement and executed
a promissory note in an amount up to $1,100,000 (the "Note") with Marriott
International Capital Corporation (the "Lender").  The purpose of such
financing was to provide the Partnership with the required capital to implement
certain upgrades to furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E") and to make
certain non-structural repairs and renovations (collectively, the
"Renovations") at the St. Louis Hotel.  The Lender will fund to the Partnership
from time-to- time amounts necessary (up to the maximum amount of the Note) to
complete the Renovations at the St. Louis Hotel.

The Partnership has directed Marriott Hotel Services, Inc., the St. Louis
Hotel's tenant, to make payments on behalf of the Partnership solely from the
St. Louis Hotel's FF&E Replacement Reserve account in an amount equal to
$61,986 per period commencing with the second accounting period in fiscal 1997
until the maturity of the Note.  The Note bears interest at a rate of 9% per
annum on all outstanding  amounts  and can be prepaid by the Partnership
without premium or penalty. Marriott Hotel Services, Inc. will fund all
interest payments into the FF&E Replacement Reserve account prior to making any
interest payments to the Lender.  Consequently, the increased payment from the
tenant will offset the interest as if this had been an interest-free loan.


Part I, Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                 and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital

Resources On June 28, 1995 (the "Effective Date"), the Partnership refinanced
and amended its $80,438,000 mortgage loans payable and the $2,531,417 revolving
credit loans payable (collectively, the "Loan") with The Equitable Life
Assurance Society of the United States ("Equitable"), and terminated its Asset
Management Agreement with Equitable Real Estate Investment Management, Inc.
("EREIM").  The Loan, which matured on June 2, 1995, was extended under the
existing terms to the Effective Date.  At closing, the Partnership made a
$500,000 principal payment, and the Loan was consolidated into a new mortgage
loan with Equitable totaling $82,469,417 (the "New Mortgage").  The New
Mortgage is collateralized by four separate deeds of trust with respect to the
Hotels and has a term of five years.

Under the terms of the New Mortgage, the Partnership is required to make
monthly payments of principal and interest in the amount of $741,999 at a fixed
rate of 9% per annum based on a 20-year amortization term.  Payments commenced
on August 1, 1995 and continue until maturity on June 2, 2000, at which time
the entire outstanding principal balance is due.  The New Mortgage may be
prepaid in whole or in part at any time prior to June 2, 1998 in connection
with a sale or refinancing of one or more of the Hotels without paying a
prepayment premium. Subsequent to June 2, 1998, prepayment of the New Mortgage
will be subject to a prepayment premium as set forth in the New Mortgage
agreement.

As a condition of the New Mortgage, the Partnership entered into an escrow
agreement with Equitable requiring the Partnership to provide additional
collateral for the New Mortgage (the "Loan Reserve").  As of September 30,
1996, the Loan Reserve balance was maintained at $2.5 million, and there were
no defaults on the New Mortgage.  The Loan Reserve may be used by the
Partnership to meet Marriott's request for additional funds for furniture,
fixtures and equipment ("FF&E") or building additions or expansions in excess
of those available in the Hotels' reserve accounts.  In each case, Marriott is
obligated to contribute a portion of such funds.

At September 30, 1996, the Partnership's real estate, at cost, was
$142,332,262, compared to $138,969,183 at December 31, 1995. The increase is
due to improvements completed at all of the Hotels, including room renovations
at the Tan-Tar-A and St. Louis Hotels.

The Partnership's cash balance is invested in an interest- bearing account and
is used as a working capital reserve for operating expenses, debt service and
Partnership liabilities. At September 30, 1996, the Partnership had cash and
cash equivalents of $3,357,161, compared to $1,004,565 at December 31, 1995.
The increase is primarily due to net cash provided by operating activities
exceeding cash used for financing activities, largely due to the accrual of the
September 1996 debt service payment.

A reserve account for each of the Hotels has been established to cover certain
costs of improvements, replacements, refurbishments and renewals, as well as
FF&E upgrades.  For the Los Angeles, St. Louis and Tan-Tar-A Hotels, the
reserve is maintained on behalf of the Partnership at each Hotel and is
classified as "Replacement reserve receivable" on the Partnership's balance
sheet.  Replacement reserve receivable increased from $3,478,655 at
December 31, 1995 to $3,998,414 at September 30, 1996 due to contributions to
the reserve exceeding expenditures.  For the Nashville Hotel, the reserve is
held by the Partnership and is classified as "Restricted cash" on the
Partnership's balance sheet.  Restricted cash increased to $1,201,316 at
September 30, 1996, compared to $825,437 at December 31, 1995 as a result of
contributions to the reserve exceeding expenditures. Rent receivable increased
from $684,266 at December 31, 1995 to $769,157 at September 30, 1996 due to
the timing of payments.

On October 18, 1996, the Partnership entered into a loan agreement and executed
a promissory note in an amount up to $1,100,000 (the "Note") with Marriott
International Capital Corporation (the "Lender").  The purpose of such
financing was to provide the Partnership with the required capital to implement
certain upgrades to furniture, fixtures and equipment ("FF&E") and to make
certain non-structural repairs and renovations (collectively, the
"Renovations") at the St. Louis Hotel.  The Lender will fund to the Partnership
from time-to- time amounts necessary (up to the maximum amount of the Note) to
complete the Renovations at the St. Louis Hotel.

The Partnership has directed Marriott Hotel Services, Inc., the St. Louis
Hotel's tenant, to make payments on behalf of the Partnership solely from the
St. Louis Hotel's FF&E Replacement Reserve account in an amount equal to
$61,986 per period commencing with the second accounting period in fiscal 1997
until the maturity of the Note.  The Note bears interest at a rate of 9% per
annum on all outstanding  amounts  and can be prepaid by the Partnership
without premium or penalty. Marriott Hotel Services, Inc. will fund all
interest payments into the FF&E Replacement Reserve account prior to making any
interest payments to the Lender.  Consequently, the increased payment from the
tenant will offset the interest as if this had been an interest-free loan.

At September 30, 1996, mortgage loans interest payable was $604,904, compared
to $0 at December 31, 1995.  The increase is due to a difference in the timing
of interest payments.

Prior to 1994, cash distributions were paid on a quarterly basis from net cash
flow provided by operating activities to Unitholders based on the seasonal
performance of the Hotels. The General Partner suspended the payment of cash
distributions in the fourth quarter of 1994.  This action was taken in order to
increase Partnership cash reserves to provide for the various costs of securing
replacement financing related to the maturity of the Partnership's outstanding
indebtedness in June 1995. Distributions will remain suspended until, at a
minimum, certain requirements are met under the terms of the New Mortgage.  In
addition to the Loan Reserve requirement, the Partnership is also required,
among other things, to receive rents from the Hotels equal to, at a minimum,
110% of debt service for the previous consecutive 12 months before cash
distributions can be resumed. Since a significant portion of the Partnership's
cash reserves were depleted to cover costs associated with the refinancing and
establishing the Loan Reserve, the General Partner intends to utilize a portion
of future cash flow generated in excess of debt service requirements to
replenish the Partnership's working capital reserves.  Once the Partnership's
debt service coverage requirements are met and the working capital reserves are
replenished, the General Partner will be in a position to evaluate the
Partnership's cash flow from operations, along with its future cash
requirements, to determine if cash distributions may be resumed at such time.
It is expected that future distributions, if any, would be reinstated on an
annual basis rather than the previous quarterly schedule.

The primary source of ongoing cash and liquidity is from rental revenue under
the operating leases and the Partnership's cash reserves.  The Partnership
knows of no trends, demands, commitments, events or uncertainties, other than
the Partnership's cash requirements pursuant to the terms of the New Mortgage,
that will result in or that are reasonably likely to result in the
Partnership's liquidity increasing or decreasing in any material way, other
than the normal seasonal fluctuation in hotel operations which, in turn, causes
fluctuations in rental income throughout the year.

Results of Operations

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 1996, net cash provided
by operating activities was $3,407,308, compared with $2,778,610 for
the corresponding period in 1995.  The increase is primarily due to the
increase in net income in 1996.  For the three- and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1996, the Partnership generated net income of $1,751,115 and
$1,993,872, respectively, compared with net income of $1,797,256 and $622,604
for the corresponding periods in 1995.  The increase for the nine-month period
is due to an increase in rental operating profit and interest income, as well
as a decrease in total expenses.  After adding back the non-cash items of
depreciation and amortization and subtracting the amount of rental income from
the FF&E replacement escrow, the Partnership had adjusted net operating income
of $1,866,253 and $2,928,746 for the three- and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1996, respectively, compared with $1,900,256 and $1,876,602 for
the corresponding periods in 1995.

Total income for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 was
$5,315,461 and $12,810,422, respectively, compared with $5,341,933 and
$12,508,133 for the corresponding periods in 1995.  The increase for the
nine-month period is due to higher rents from operating profit earned at the
St. Louis and Los Angeles Hotels, higher rent from replacement escrow and, to a
lesser extent, higher interest income.  Rent from replacement escrow, which is
calculated as a percentage of the Hotels' gross revenues, increased to
$1,586,659 and $4,258,717 for the threeand nine-month periods ended September
30, 1996, respectively, compared to $1,548,735 and $4,066,337 for the
corresponding periods in 1995.  The increases are due to higher gross revenues
at the St. Louis and Los Angeles Hotels.  Interest income totaled $96,052 and
$288,869 for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996,
respectively, compared to $75,509 and $256,354, respectively, for the
corresponding periods in 1995. The increases are primarily attributable to
higher loan reserve and restricted cash balances in 1996.

Total expenses for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996
were $3,564,346 and $10,816,550, respectively, compared to $3,544,677 and
$11,885,529 for the corresponding periods in 1995.  The decline for the
nine-month period is due primarily to decreases in interest expense,
depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, and asset
management fees.  Asset management fees were eliminated as a result of the
termination of the Asset Management Agreement. Interest expense decreased to
$1,817,766 and $5,480,245, respectively, for the three- and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1996, compared to $1,852,777 and $6,131,499 for the
corresponding periods in 1995.  The decrease is due to the terms of the New
Mortgage which requires principal amortization and a lower interest rate than
the original mortgage loan.  The decrease also is due to the consolidation of
the previous revolving credit loans into the New Mortgage and termination of
interest accruals on the unpaid fees due under the Asset Management Agreement.
General and administrative expenses totaled $25,826 and $94,475, respectively,
for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996, compared with
$33,699 and $112,745 for the corresponding periods in  1995.  The decrease is
due primarily to the 1995 payment of the Los Angeles Commercial Rent Tax, which
was partially offset by higher Partnership accounting and administrative
expenses being recognized in 1996.

January 1 to September 6 of the indicated years (i.e., the first nine Marriott
