                                   (Unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of CRICO Hotel Associates I, L.P. (the General Partner), the
accompanying unaudited financial statements of CRI Hotel Income Partners, L.P.
(the Partnership) contain all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary
to present fairly the Partnership's financial position as of March 31, 1996 and
December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995 and its cash flows for the three months ended March 31,
1996 and 1995.

     These unaudited financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted.  While the General Partner believes that the disclosures
presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested
that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and the notes included in the Partnership's Annual Report filed on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

     Certain amounts in the 1995 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1996 presentation.

2.   COMMITMENTS

     a.   Hotel operations management agreements
          --------------------------------------

          The Partnership entered into management agreements with Buckhead Hotel
     Management Company, Inc. (Buckhead) in connection with operations of the
     hotels. Each agreement is for an initial term of twelve to fifteen years,
     with a five-year renewal option.  The agreements call for a base management
     fee of 3.5% of gross revenue from operations, a marketing fee of 1.5% of
     net room revenues, and a reservation fee of 2.3% of gross revenues from
     rental of hotel guest rooms.  The agreements also call for incentive
     management fees generally equal to 25% of net cash flow available after
     payment of a preferred cash flow return to the Partnership equal to 11% of
     the aggregate purchase price for the hotels owned by the Partnership.  No
     incentive management fees were earned for the first quarter of 1996 or
     1995.

     b.   Ground lease agreement
          ----------------------

          The Partnership entered into a lease with Vicorp Restaurants, Inc.
     (Vicorp) effective January 1991, for a portion of the Minneapolis Days Inn
     property to operate a restaurant (Baker's Square).  Gross rental income
     pursuant to the lease agreement was $12,619 and $12,192 for the three
     months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.

3.   DISTRIBUTIONS TO BAC HOLDERS

     The following distributions were paid or accrued to BAC Holders of record
during the first quarters of 1996 and 1995:

                           ==========  =======    ==========   =======


     The distribution to BAC Holders for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 is
expected to be paid on May 30, 1996.  The General Partner anticipates the
distribution for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 to range from $0.52 to $0.60
per BAC.  Distributions are dependent on the net cash flow produced from hotel
operations, net of Partnership expenses.  The cash flow from certain hotels may
be materially affected by changing market conditions and by seasonality.

4.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Partnership, in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement,
is obligated to reimburse the General Partner or its affiliates for their direct
expenses in connection with managing the Partnership.  The Partnership paid or
accrued $10,193 and $11,535 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, to the General Partner or its affiliates as direct reimbursement
of expenses incurred on behalf of the Partnership.  Such reimbursements are
included in general and administrative expense on the statements of income. 

     The amount of the base asset management fee earned by the General Partner
or its affiliates is equal to 0.50% of the weighted average balance of the
adjusted partnership investment during the period, as defined in the Partnership
Agreement.  During the three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, the
Partnership paid or accrued a base asset management fee of $23,438 and $26,250,
respectively.

5.   HOTELS OWNED BY THE PARTNERSHIP

     On October 20, 1994, a contract for the sale of the Kankakee hotel was
signed.  The sale was completed on July 19, 1995.  The sale price of the
property of $1.2 million generated sufficient proceeds to the Partnership to
retire the purchase money note obligation of the Partnership with respect to
such property.  On February 21, 1995 and May 10, 1995, the Partnership advanced
$35,000 and $42,000, respectively, from the working capital reserves to the
Kankakee hotel to fund the hotel's short-term working capital needs.   These
advances were repaid and the working capital reserves were replenished on July
19, 1995 from sale proceeds of the Kankakee hotel.

               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               -----------------------------------

                          Financial Condition/Liquidity
                         ------------------------------

     CRI Hotel Income Partners, L.P. (the Partnership) expects that the hotels
in the aggregate will generate sufficient cash flow to achieve a positive cash
flow after operating expenses.  During the first quarter of 1996, certain hotels
retained aggregate additional replacement reserves of approximately $106,000 for
the purpose of funding the purchase of electronic door locks.  The installation
of these electronic door locks is a franchise requirement imposed by Days Inn. 
One other hotel is expected to retain additional replacement reserves of
approximately $32,000 in the second quarter of 1996 for the purchase of its
electronic door locks.  Other than the purchase of electronic door locks and the
periodic replacement of fixed assets, which are also funded from the replacement
reserves, there are no material commitments for capital expenditures.

     Due to the expiration of all remaining cash flow guarantees in 1993, the
Partnership's liquidity and future results of operations are primarily dependent
upon the performance of the underlying hotels.  Hotel operations may be
materially affected by changing market conditions and by seasonality caused by
variables such as vacations, holidays and climate.  The Partnership closely
monitors its cash flow position in an effort to ensure that sufficient cash is
available for operating requirements and distributions to BAC Holders.  The
Partnership's net cash provided by operating activities for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, along with existing cash resources, was adequate to
support operating, investing and financing requirements and declared
distributions to BAC Holders and the General Partners.  Cash and cash
equivalents decreased in 1996 principally due to deposits to replacement
reserves.  The Partnership estimates that existing cash and cash equivalents
along with future cash flows from the hotels' operations, in the aggregate, will
be sufficient to pay operating expenses and short term commitments, fund
replacement reserves, and make distributions to BAC Holders.  Short-term
liabilities of $1,463,601 decreased slightly from 1995.  This resulted primarily
from a decrease in accrued management fees payable at two hotels as well as a
decrease in distributions payable as a result of fluctuations of quarterly
distributions during 1995.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase
in accrued property taxes due to the timing of tax payment due dates. 

     The Partnership's notes payable, including accrued interest, are scheduled
to mature in 1997 and 1998.  The Kankakee note payable of $434,925 plus accrued
interest of $440,746 was retired on July 19, 1995 in connection with the sale of
the hotel, as discussed below.  The Managing General Partner is currently
investigating refinancing options for the remaining notes.  There is no
assurance that a refinancing or refinancings will be completed.

     On October 20, 1994, a contract for the sale of the Kankakee hotel was
signed.  The sale was completed on July 19, 1995.  The sale price of the
property of $1.2 million generated sufficient proceeds to the Partnership to
retire the purchase money note obligation of the Partnership with respect to
such property.  On February 21, 1995 and May 10, 1995, the Partnership advanced
$35,000 and $42,000, respectively, from the working capital reserves to the
Kankakee hotel to fund the hotel's short-term working capital needs.   These
advances were repaid and the working capital reserves were replenished on July
19, 1995 from sale proceeds of the Kankakee hotel.

     The following distributions were paid or accrued to BAC Holders of record
during the first quarters of 1996 and 1995:

     The distribution to BAC Holders for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 is
expected to be paid on May 30, 1996.  The General Partner anticipates the
distribution for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 to range from $0.52 to $0.60
per BAC.  Distributions are dependent on the net cash flow produced from hotel
operations, net of Partnership expenses.  The cash flow from certain hotels may
be materially affected by changing market conditions and by seasonality.

                              Results of Operations
                              ---------------------

     The Partnership's net income, which consists principally of revenues from
hotel operations, increased during the three months ended
March 31, 1996 from the comparable period in 1995 primarily due to a 4% decrease
in departmental expenses and unallocated operating expenses for the first
quarter 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.  Departmental expenses and
unallocated operating expenses decreased 6% as a result of the sale of the
Kankakee hotel in July 1995.  Departmental expenses and unallocated operating
expenses of the remaining hotels increased 2% during the first quarter of 1996
as compared to the same period in 1995 primarily due to an increase in building
lease expense at the Scottsdale hotel as a result of increased revenues
generated by the hotel during the first quarter of 1996.  A portion of the
building lease for the Scottsdale hotel is calculated on a percentage of
revenues generated by the hotel.  Total room revenue of the Partnership did not
change significantly in the first three months of 1996 as compared to the
corresponding period in 1995.  A 3% increase in room revenue, primarily as a
result of increased room rates at all hotels, was offset by a 3% decrease in
room revenue resulting from the sale of the Kankakee hotel.

                          Hotels' Results of Operations
                          -----------------------------

     The hotels' results of operations are affected by changing market
conditions and by seasonality caused by variables such as vacations, holidays
and climate.  Based on the hotels' operating budgets, the following months
should provide the highest gross operating income and net cash flow:

               CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - Continued
               -----------------------------------

     Gross operating income for the Clearwater hotel for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 increased from the same period in 1995 primarily due to increased
room rates and aggressive sales efforts to replace income due to the loss of a
major client in the fourth quarter of 1995.  Net cash flow for the Clearwater
hotel for the three months ended march 31, 1996 decreased from the same period
in 1995 primarily due to increased marketing and advertising expenses incurred
as a result of increased sales efforts.  Gross operating income and net cash
flow for the Minneapolis hotel for the three months ended March 31, 1996
decreased from the same period in 1995 primarily due to unusually harsh weather
conditions and a temporary quarantine of Shriner's Hospital, which indirectly
provides a significant amount of business to the hotel.  Gross operating income
and net cash flow for the Plymouth hotel for the three months ended March 31,
1996 decreased from the same period in 1995 primarily due to unusually harsh
weather conditions and increased competition for local advertising space.  Gross
operating income and net cash flow for the Roseville hotel for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 decreased from the same period in 1995 primarily due to
unusually harsh weather conditions and record low temperatures.  Gross operating
income and net cash flow for the Scottsdale hotel for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 increased from the same period in 1995 primarily due to increased
room demand in the area as a result of Super Bowl XXX being hosted by the City
of Phoenix.  The Kankakee hotel was sold on July 19, 1995, as previously
discussed.
