                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
  
  NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
  A summmary of the significant accounting policies applied in
  the preparation of the accompanying financial statements
  follows.
  
  Depreciation
  
  Depreciation is provided in amounts sufficient to relate the
  cost of depreciable assets to operations over their
  estimated service lives by the straight-line method. 
  Accelerated methods of depreciation are used for tax
  purposes.
  
  Federal Income Taxes
  
  Federal income taxes (benefits) are not reflected in the
  financial statements as the partners individually report
  their distributive shares of the taxable income or loss of
  the Partnership.
  
  Fiscal Year
  
  The Partnership's fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest
  December 31.  Fiscal years 1997 and 1996 are comprised of
  fifty-three and fifty-two week periods, respectively.
  
  NOTE B - PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
  
  The Partnership was formed under the laws of the State of
  Texas in September 1979.  The Partnership was organized to
  develop and operate nonspecified "budget" hotels in Texas.
  
  Allocation of cash distributions and income (losses) are 99%
  and 1%, respectively, to limited partners and general
  partners.
  
  The general partners have an option which expires in 1999 to
  purchase a special 20% limited partner interest for
  $500,000.
  
                                                                Franchise Fees
  Effective June 30, 1994, the partnership received approval
  from Ramada Franchise Systems, Inc. to operate the facility
  as a Ramada Limited hotel for a term of fifteen years
  subject to Ramada having the right to terminate the license
  without cause effective on the fifth anniversary of the
  license. Prior to June 30, 1994, the Partnership paid to
  Super 8 Motels, Inc. monthly fees equal to 4% of its gross
  room revenue and contributed an additional 1% of its gross
  room revenues to an advertising fund administered by the
  franchisor.  Effective June 30, 1994, the Partnership will
  pay to Ramada Franchise Systems, Inc. monthly fees equal to
  3.5% of its gross room revenue for the first twelve months
  from the effective date of the Ramada license and 4% of its
  gross room revenue beginning in the thirteenth month through
  the balance of the license term.  In addition, the
  partnership must contribute 4.5% of its gross room revenue
  to Ramada Inter-National Association for marketing,
  reservation systems and other assessments.  Franchise fees
  were $67,760 and $61,120 for the six months ended June 27,
  1997 and June 28, 1996, respectively.
  
  NOTE C - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
  Management Fees
  
  An affiliate of one of the former General Partners managed
  the hotel for the Partnership until May 31, 1989.  The fee
  for this service was 5% of gross operating revenues from
  Partnership operations.  This management fee was payable
  monthly; however, three-fifths of the management fee was
  deferred until receipt by the Limited Partners of a
  cumulative 10% per annum pre-tax return on their adjusted
  capital contributions.  During 1994 this obligation was
  written off because it was determined that it was unlikely
  to require payment in the future.
  
  On June 1, 1989, an affiliate of one of the current General
  Partners assumed management of the hotel.  For its services,
  the management company receives a base management fee equal
  to the greater of three percent (3%) of the Gross Revenues
  of the hotel or $36,000 per year.  In addition to the base
  management fee, the management company receives an incentive
  management fee equal to ten percent (10%) of Gross Operating
  Profit.  For the six months ended June 27, 1997 and June 28,
  1996, management fees were $49,390 and $38,781,
  respectively.  Additionally, accounting service fees paid to
  another affiliate of a general partner were $14,000 for the
  six months ended June 27, 1997 and June 28, 1996,
  respectively.  Expense reimbursements to a general partner
  for expenses incurred were $8,904 and $7,418 for the six
  months ended June 27, 1997 and June 28, 1996, respectively.
  
  NOTE D - SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER
  The Partnership's revenues for the six months ended June 27,
  1997 and June 28, 1996 include amounts from a single
  customer of approximately $158,428 and $59,500,
  respectively.
  
  NOTE E - MORTGAGE PAYABLE
  In April 1994, the partnership entered into a mortgage note
  agreement to borrow $450,000 from a financial institution. 
  The proceeds of this loan were used to complete the
  renovation of the facility to comply with the Ramada license
  requirements.  Under terms of the agreement, the partnership
  is required to make monthly principal installments of $3,750
  and interest on the outstanding principal balance at 2%
  above the financial institution's prime lending rate.  The
  mortgage note is collateralized by the hotel's property and
  equipment.  As of June 27, 1997, the outstanding principal
  balance was $304,338, with a current portion of $45,000. 
  All unpaid principal is due in 2004.  The payee may demand
  payment of the outstanding balance of the note on the six
  year, seven year, eight year and nine year anniversary dates
  of the note.

   Item 2.
 
   MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
   AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
   Opinion of Management
   In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
   financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting
   only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
   fairly the financial position as of June 27, 1997 and June
   28, 1996, and the results of operation and its cash flows
   for the periods then ended.
  
   Liquidity
   The General Partners believe that the Partnership's
   liquidity, defined as its ability to generate adequate
   amounts of cash to meet its cash needs, is satisfactory. The
   Partnership's primary source of liquidity is its revenue
   from operations, the cash provided from the sale of its
   restaurant in 1990 and the proceeds of the mortgage note
   incurred to finance the renovation of the hotel.  The
   Partnership actively negotiated with the lessee of the
   restaurant building to sell the building to such lessee. 
   Such sale took place on September 14, 1990.  The contract
   sale price was $500,000.  This sale provided a cash infusion
   to the property of $445,000 which was used to pay off
   delinquent taxes of $137,605, current taxes on the
   restaurant through September 14, 1990 of $14,160 and a
   $22,000 bank loan secured by the lease.  As of June 27,
   1997, the Partnership had cash and other current assets in
   the amount of $267,845 compared to $158,052 at June 28,
   1996.  Current liabilities  were $188,624 at June 27,1997,
   compared to $220,149 at June 28, 1996.  
  
   Capital Resources  
   The partnership spent approximately $62,636, $6,606 and
   $451,000 in capital improvements to the hotel's facilities
   in 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The partnership has
   not purchased any capital improvements for the hotel during
   the first six months of 1997.  The partnership expects to
   spend an additional $40,000 in capital expenditures during
   the balance of this year. The hotel is now operating in full
   compliance with the Ramada Limited standards.
 
   Results of Operations  
   The Partnership's hotel average occupancy rate for the six
   month period ended June 27, 1997, was 89.7% compared to
   83.1% for the six month period ended June 28, 1996.  The
   average daily room rate for the six month period ended June
   27, 1997, was $38.58 compared to $37.65 for the six month
   period ended June 28,1996.  Room Revenue for the six month
   period ended June 27, 1997 was $793,676 compared to $717,724
   for the six month period ended June 28, 1996. 
 
   The airline employee and airline related lodging resulted in
   daily room rentals of approximately 51.0% of the hotel's 126
   rooms for the six month period ended June 27, 1997, compared
   to 44.0% for the six month period ended June 28, 1996.
