Nature of Operations
Flagstaff Holiday Inn operates a motel in Flagstaff, Arizona. The Inn

the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

1. Organization And Basis Of Presentation:
Organization:
Ventura Hospitality Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") was formed for
the purpose of owning, operating and holding for investment and ultimate
resale the Radisson-Oxnard (a 250-room, full service Hotel in Oxnard,
California).
The accompanying interim financial statements reflect, in the opinion of
the Partnership's management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the interim financial statements. All such adjustments
are of a normal and recurring nature.
2. Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies:
Cash And Cash Equivalents:
For purpose of reporting cash flows, all highly liquid debt instruments
with maturities of three months or less on the date of acquisition are
considered to be cash equivalents.
Inventories:
Inventories consist of food, beverages and guest supplies and are stated
at cost, which approximates market, with cost determined using the
first-in, first-out method.
Investment In Hotel Property:
The Hotel is stated at cost less reductions due to debt restructuring in
1993. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method based upon
the following useful lives:
<TABLE>

Years
-------
<S> <C>
Building and improvements 40
Furniture and fixtures 7
Equipment 5
</TABLE>
The Partnership's management periodically reviews the Hotel property to
determine if its carrying costs will be recovered from future operations
and, accordingly, whether a reduction in carrying value should be
recorded. No such reductions have occurred to date.

2. Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies, Continued:
Investment In Hotel Properties, Continued:
Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred; major
renewals and betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or disposition,
the asset and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the
accounts, and the gain or loss is included in operations.
Amortizable Assets:
Amortizable assets consist primarily of deferred finance costs which are
recorded at cost and amortized over the life of the loan.
Income Taxes:
No provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements for
federal or state income taxes as the taxable income or loss of the
Partnership is included in the owners' federal and state income tax
returns. The Partnership's tax returns and the amount of allocable
income or loss are subject to examination by the federal and state
taxing authorities. If such examinations result in changes to income
or loss, the tax liability of the partners could be changed accordingly.
Revenue Recognition:
Revenue is recognized as earned. Earned is generally defined as the date
upon which a guest occupies a room and/or utilizes the Hotel's services.
Ongoing credit evaluations are performed and potential credit losses are
expensed at the time the accounts receivable is estimated to be
uncollectible. Historically, credit losses have not been material to the
Hotel's results of operations and, accordingly, no allowance for
doubtful accounts is recorded.
Impact Of New Accounting Standards:
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long Lived Assets and for Long Lived Assets to be Disposed
Of." This statement shall be effective for financial statements for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. Management believes that
adoption of this standard will not have a material effect on its
financial position or results of operations.

Accounting Estimates:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally

the financial statements. Ultimate actual results may, in some
instances, differ from previously estimated amounts.
3. Notes Payable:
Mortgage note payable, interest only at LIBOR plus 3.50% (8.9375% at

$ 6,200,000
