 JOHN Q. HAMMONS HOTELS, L.P.               
 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited) 


1.  ENTITY MATTERS

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of John Q. Hammons Hotels, L.P. and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries ("Partnership"), consisting of John Q. Hammons Hotels
Finance Corporation ("Finance Corp.") and John Q. Hammons
Hotels Finance Corporation II ("Finance Corp. II"), both
corporations with nominal assets and no operations, the catering
corporations (which are separate corporations for each hotel
location chartered to own the respective food and liquor licenses
and operate the related food and beverage facilities), and certain
other wholly-owned subsidiaries conducting certain hotel
operations.

In conjunction with a public offering of  first mortgage notes in
February 1994 ("1994 Notes") and  in November 1995 ("1995
Notes") by the Partnership and Finance Corp I and II, and a public
offering of common stock in November 1994 ("Common Stock
Offering") by its general partner, John Q. Hammons Hotels, Inc.,
("General Partner"), the Partnership,  which owned and operated
ten hotels properties, obtained through transfers or contributions
from Mr. John Q. Hammons ("Mr. Hammons") or enterprises that
he controlled, 21 additional operating hotel properties, equity
interests in two hotels under construction, the stock of catering
corporations and management contracts relating to all of Mr.
Hammons' hotels.

The Partnership is directly or indirectly owned and controlled by Mr.
Hammons, as were all enterprises that transferred or contributed
net assets to the Partnership.  Accordingly, the accompanying
financial statements present, as a combination of entities under
common control  as if using the pooling method of accounting, the
financial position and related results of operations of all entities on
a consolidated basis for all periods presented.  All significant
balances and transactions between the entities and properties
have been eliminated.

Mr. Hammons and entities directly or indirectly owned or controlled
by him are the only limited partners of the Partnership.    Mr.
Hammons, through his voting control of the General Partner,
continues to be in control of the Partnership.

2. GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. 
Accordingly, certain information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements have been omitted.  These interim statements should
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended
January 3, 1997, which included financial statements for the year
ended January 3, 1997 and December 29, 1995.
 
The information contained herein reflects all normal and recurring
adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for
a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position
for the interim periods.                

The Partnership considers all operating cash accounts and money
market investments with an original maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents.    Marketable securities  consist of 
available-for-sale commercial paper and government agency
obligations that mature or will be available for use in operations in
1997.  These securities are valued at current market value, which
approximates cost.

3.  ALLOCATIONS OF INCOME, LOSSES AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Income, losses and distributions of the Partnership will generally be
allocated between the General Partner and the limited partners
based on their respective ownership interests of  28.31% and
71.69%.

In the event the Partnership has taxable income, distributions are
to be made to the partners in an aggregate amount equal to the
amount that the Partnership would have paid for income taxes had
it been a C Corporation during the applicable period.  Aggregate
tax distributions will first be allocated to the general partner, if
applicable,  with the remainder allocated to the limited partners.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General
The following discussion and analysis addresses results of
operations for the three and six months ended  July 4, 1997  and
June 28, 1996.
   
THREE MONTHS

Total revenues increased to $76.2 million in the 1997 Three
Months from $68.3 million in the 1996 Three Months, an increase
of $7.9 million or 11.5%.  Of the total revenues reported in the 1997
Three Months, 66.4% were revenues from rooms, 27.3% were
revenues from food and beverage, and 6.3% were revenues from
meeting room rental and other, compared with 64.6%, 28.4%, and
7.0% respectively during the 1996 Three Months.

Rooms revenues increased to $50.6 million in the 1997 Three
Months from $44.1 million in the 1996 Three Months, an increase
of $6.5 million or 14.6% because of increases in average room
rates  and total number of available rooms.  Average room rates of
Mature Hotels (open more than one year) increased to $79.48 in
the 1997 Three Months from $76.24 in the 1996 Three Months, an
increase of $3.24 or 4.2%.  Occupancy of Mature Hotels decreased
to 68.0% in the 1997 Three Months from 68.3% in the 1996 Three
Months, a decrease of 0.3 percentage points.  The lower
occupancy was primarily due to the increased number of  limited
service rooms opening in the immediate market area of some
Partnership hotels.

Food and beverage revenues increased to $20.8 million in the
1997 Three Months from $19.4 million in the 1996 Three Months,
an increase of $1.4 million or 7.2%.  The increase in revenues was
attributable to the opening of additional full service hotels, opening
of new restaurant concepts in the existing hotels, and menu pricing
adjustments.

Meeting room rental and other revenues were $4.8 million in the
1997 and 1996 Three Months.

Rooms operating expenses increased to $12.6 million in the 1997
Three Months from $10.8 million in the 1996 Three Months, an
increase of $1.8 million or 16.1%.  This expense represented
24.9% of rooms revenues in the 1997 Three Month period and
24.5% in the 1996 Three Month period.


Food and beverage operating expenses increased to $15.1 million
in the 1997 Three Months from $14.4 million in the 1996 Three
Months, an increase of $0.7 million or 4.5%.

Other operating expenses increased to $0.8 million in the 1997
Three Months from $0.7 million in the 1996 Three Months, an
increase of $0.1 million or 12.9%.

General, administrative and sales expenses increased to $20.3
million in the 1997 Three Months from $18.4 million in the 1996
Three Months, an increase of $1.9 million or 10.0%.  The increased
expenses were a result of expenses incurred during the 1997
Three Months associated with the opening of  more rooms during
1996 and 1997.

Repairs and maintenance expenses increased to $3.2 million in the
1997 Three Months from $3.0 million in the 1996 Three Months, an
increase of $0.2 million or 5.0%.  The increase was a result of the
Company's increased number of hotels open.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $8.1 million
in the 1997 Three Months from $6.0 million in the 1996 Three
Months, an increase of $2.1 million or 34.5%.  These expenses
represented 10.6% of total revenues in the 1997 Three Months and
8.8% of total revenues in the 1996 Three Months.  The increase
was a result of additional capital expenditures related to new hotels
and improvements in existing properties.


Income from Operations increased to $16.1 million in the 1997
Three Months from $14.8 million in the 1996 Three Months, an
increase of $1.3 million or 8.7%.  The increase was due primarily to
the higher amount of total revenue offset in part by higher
depreciation from new hotels open during the 1997 quarter.

Interest income decreased to $0.1 million in the 1997 Three
Months from $0.5 million in the 1996 Three Months, a decrease of
$0.4 million.  The decrease was attributable to  lower  balances in
cash and equivalents because of amounts spent for new
construction.

Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees 
increased to $10.2 million in the 1997 Three Months from $9.5
million in the 1996 Three Months, an increase of $0.7 million or
7.4%.  As a percentage of total revenues, this expense decreased
to 13.3% in the 1997 Three Months from 13.9% in the 1996 Three
Months.

Net Income increased to $6.1 million in the 1997 Three Months
from $5.9 million in the 1996 Three Months, an increase of $0.2
million or 3.5%.  As a percentage of total revenues, net income
decreased to 8.0% in the 1997 Three Months from 8.6% in the
1996 Three Months.  The increase in net income was due primarily
to an increase in total revenue due to the opening of new hotels in
1996 and 1997 offset in part by the increase in depreciation and
interest expense associated with these openings.

SIX MONTHS

Total revenues increased to $146.8 million in the 1997 Six Months
from $133.0 million in the 1996 Six Months, an increase of $13.8
million or 10.4%.  Of the total revenues reported in the 1997 Six
Months, 65.4% were revenues from rooms, 28.1% were revenues
from food and beverage, and 6.5% were revenues from meeting
room rental and other, compared with 63.4%,  29.5%, and 7.1%
respectively during the 1996 Six Months.

Rooms revenues increased to $96.0 million in the 1997 Six Months
from $84.4 million in the 1996 Six Months, an increase of $11.6
million or 13.8% as a result of increases in average room rates 
and total number of available rooms.  Average room rates of
Mature Hotels increased to $78.90 in the 1997 Six Months from
$75.74 in the 1996 Six Months, an increase of $3.16 or 4.2%. 
Occupancy of Mature Hotels decreased to 65.6% in the 1997 Six
Months from 65.7% in the 1996 Six Months, a decrease of 0.1
percentage points.  

Food and beverage revenues increased to $41.2 million in the
1997 Six Months from $39.2 million in the 1996 Six Months, an
increase of $2.0 million or 5.2%.  The increase in revenues was
attributable to the opening of additional full service hotels, opening
of new restaurant concepts in the existing hotels, and menu pricing
adjustments.

Meeting room rental and other revenues increased to $9.5 million
in the 1997 Six Months from $9.4 million in the 1996 Six Months,
an increase of $0.1 million or 1.4%.

Rooms operating expenses increased to $23.8 million in the 1997
Six Months from $21.1 million in the 1996 Six Months, an increase
of $2.7 million or 12.9%.  This expense represented 24.8% of
rooms revenues in the 1997 Six Month period and 25.0% in the
1996 Six Month period.

Food and beverage operating expenses increased to $29.9 million
in the 1997 Six Months from $28.8 million in the 1996 Six Months,
an increase of $1.1 million or 4.1%.

Other operating expenses increased to $1.6 million in the 1997 Six
Months from $1.5 million in the 1996 Six Months, an increase of
$0.1 million or 8.9%.

General, administrative and sales expenses increased to $40.4
million in the 1997 Six Months from $37.8 million in the 1996 Six
Months, an increase of $2.6 million or 6.8%.  The increased
expenses were a result of expenses incurred during the 1997 Six
Months associated with the opening of  more rooms.

Repairs and maintenance expenses increased to $6.1 million in the
1997 Six Months from $5.6 million in the 1996 Six Months, an
increase of $0.5 million or 8.1%.  The increase was a result of the
Company's increased number of hotels open.

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased to $15.0 million
in the 1997 Six Months from $11.9 million in the 1996 Six Months,
an increase of $3.1 million or 25.9%.  These expenses represented
10.2% of total revenues in the 1997 first half and 9.0% of total
revenues in the first half of 1996.

Income from Operations increased to $29.9 million in the 1997 Six
Months from $26.3 million in the 1996 Six Months, an increase of
$3.6 million or 13.9%.  The increase was due primarily to the higher
amount of total revenue offset in part by higher depreciation  from
new hotels.

Interest income decreased to $0.5 million in the 1997 Six Months
from $1.2 million in the 1996 Six Months, a decrease of $0.7
million.  The decrease was attributable to  lower  balances in cash
and equivalents and in marketable securities as a result of amounts
spent for new construction.

Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees 
increased to $19.9 million in the 1997 Six Months from $19.4
million in the 1996 Six Months, an increase of $0.5 million or 2.4%. 
As a percentage of total revenues, this expense increased to
13.6% in the 1997  Six Months from 14.6% in the 1996 Six Months.

Net Income increased to $10.5 million in the 1997 Six Months from
$8.1 million in the 1996 Six Months, an increase of $2.4 million or
30.6%.  As a percentage of total revenues, net income increased to
7.2% in the 1997 Six Months from 6.1% in the 1996 Six Months. 
The increase was due primarily to an increase in total revenue
offset in part by depreciation and interest expense associated with
the opening of hotels in 1995 and 1996  that have not reached
normal occupancy levels.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

In general, the Partnership has financed its operations through
internal cash flow, loans from financial institutions, the issuance of
public debt and equity and the issuance of industrial revenue
bonds.  Twenty of the Partnership's  hotels are pledged to secure
the 1994 Notes (the "1994 Collateral Hotels").  Eight  of the
Partnership's hotels are pledged to secure the 1995 Notes (the
"1995 Collateral Hotels").   The Partnership in the future may obtain
mortgage financing secured by  unencumbered hotels and
construction in progress to provide additional liquidity, if necessary.
The Partnership's principal uses of cash are to pay operating
expenses, to service debt, and to fund capital  expenditures, new
hotel development and partnership distributions. 
 
At July 4, 1997 the Partnership  had $25.5 million of cash and 
equivalents, and also had $5.1 million of marketable securities. 

Net cash  provided by operating activities was  $21.9 million for the 
first Six months of 1997  compared to  $26.6 million for the first Six
months of 1996, a decrease of  $4.7 million.   A majority of the
decrease was due to an increase in trade and construction related
receivables and decreases in construction payables at July 4,
1997.


The Partnership incurred net capital expenditures of $ 99.5 million
during the first six months  of 1997 and $ 50.7 million during the
first six months of  1996.  Capital expenditures  include
expenditures for development of new hotels and capital
improvements on existing hotel properties.  During the remainder of
1997 the Partnership expects capital expenditures to total
approximately $106 million, representing  $13 million for capital
improvements on existing hotels and $93 million for continued new
hotel development.

The Partnership currently has six hotels under construction.   The
Partnership  estimates the remaining building and pre-opening
costs of the six hotels will require funding of approximately $111
million. Construction in progress at July 4, 1997 included $99
million expended for these projects. 

The Partnership has received loans and loan commitments for the
projects under construction in the amount of $144 million.
Ninety-nine million was available to draw as of July 4, 1997.

In addition to the capital expenditures for the hotels under
construction,  the Partnership is at various stages in other new
hotel development.  Capital requirements for the  hotels under
development  are expected to be provided by (i) mortgage
financing secured by the Owned Hotels which are unencumbered;
(ii) mortgage financing secured by the  Scheduled Hotels as
described above;  and (iii) contributions  from third parties.

The Partnerships' development activity restricts its ability to grow
Net Income in the short term.  This is due to fixed charges such as
depreciation and interest that exceed "New" hotels operating cash flow
in the first one to two years of operation after opening.  The Partnership
plans to continue with its development of full-service, and all-suite
hotels based on favorable market fundamentals and because few hotels are 
being constructed in the upscale sector of the overall hotel industry.

The Partnership expects to fund development of new hotels
through limited partnerships in which the Partnership will be the
general partner and a wholly owned corporate subsidiary of the
Partnership will be the limited partner.  As permitted by the
Indentures related to the 1994 Notes and 1995 Notes (the "1994
and 1995 Note Indentures"),  each of these entities  will be an
"Unrestricted Subsidiary" for purposes thereof, and accordingly, 
the ability of the Partnership to fund these entities is subject to
certain limitations contained  in the 1994 and 1995 Note
Indentures.   All of the indebtedness of these entities will be
non-recourse to the Partnership.  The Partnership believes that  funding
permitted under the 1994 and 1995 Note Indentures will be
sufficient to meet its current  development  plans.        
                      
                             
Based upon current plans relating to the timing of new hotel
development, the Partnership anticipates that its capital resources
will be adequate to satisfy its 1997 capital requirements for the
currently planned projects and normally recurring capital
improvement projects through the end of 1997 for hotels currently
under construction and normally recurring capital improvement
projects.

The Partnership accrued distributions of approximately $ 1.8 million
during the first six months  of 1997 to its partners.   Distributions by
the Partnership to its partners must be made in accordance with
provisions of the 1994 and 1995 Note Indentures.
