1.  THE PARTNERSHIP AND A SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING       
    POLICIES

Mission Bay Super 8 Ltd., A California Limited Partnership (the
Partnership), formerly Motels of America Series IX, A California
Limited Partnership, was formed on February 5, 1987 pursuant to the
California Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act.  The purpose of
the Partnership is to construct, own, and operate a 117-room
"economy" motel under a Super 8 franchise.  The motel was opened in
November 1987.

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.  Writedowns to fair value
are recorded when investment property has been permanently impaired
based on comparing carrying value to the undiscounted sum of future
cash flows expected from the property.  Depreciation is computed
using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of
5 to 35 years.  Maintenance and repairs costs are expensed as
incurred, while significant improvements, replacements, and major
renovations are capitalized.  

    NET INCOME PER INTEREST

Net income per interest is based upon the income allocated to
limited partners divided by 6,600 limited partner interests
outstanding throughout the year.

Partnership are allocated 90% to the limited partners and 10% to
the general partner.  Profits from the sale or other disposition of

(but not below zero) by the aggregate amount of prior distributions
of cash available for distribution; thereafter, gain shall be

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

$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.  In April 1996, the franchise agreement was transferred

part of the terms of the sale.  See Note 5 for detail.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition:

On November 19, 1986, the Partnership commenced its public offering
pursuant to its Prospectus.  On June 15, 1987, the Partnership
completed the public offering.  The Partnership received $5,761,115
(net of offering costs of $838,885) 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 were used to acquire and construct the
property identified in Item 2 above.

In January 1996, 71% of the limited partners approved a proposal to
exchange substantially all of the Partnership's investment property
for 252,049 shares of Class A Common Stock in Host Funding, Inc.,
a real estate investment trust (REIT).  The number of shares issued
is based on an initial exchange value of $10 per share.  The common
stock in the REIT has been distributed to the limited partners and
the Partnership will be dissolved.  Approximately 10% of the
limited partners perfected their rights as dissenting partners and
received $284,408 cash for their limited partnership interests. 
The total value of the transaction is $2,810,000 based on the
initial exchange value of the common stock (252,049 shares @ $10.00
per share), cash paid to dissenting partners in the amount of
$284,408, and fractional shares paid of $5,118.  The transaction
was conditioned upon Host Funding, Inc. completing a proposed
$5,000,000 initial public offering of its common stock.  This
requirement was satisfied and the sale closed on April 22, 1996. 

In connection with this transaction, an independent appraiser had
valued the Partnership's investment property at $2,810,000 as of
August 1, 1994.  Because of the significant decrease in the market
value of investment property, and the proposed exchange of
investment property for common stock in the REIT, management
elected to writedown the Partnership's investment property to its
appraised value of $2,810,000 as of December 31, 1994.

During 1995 and 1996, the Partnership paid certain costs related to
the REIT transaction.  The costs paid by the Partnership totaled
$113,405 of which $88,405 is an expense of the Partnership and
$25,000 was reimbursed by the REIT after the transaction was
completed.  

Management plans to dissolve the Registrant in November 1996.  The
final cash remaining after payment of all liabilities will be
distributed to the limited partners.
