                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (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 June 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995, and the results of its operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and its cash flows for the six months ended
June 30, 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 two quarters 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 $25,238 for the three and
     six months ended June 30, 1996, respectively and $12,193 and $24,385 for
     the three and six months ended June 30, 1995, respectively.

3.   DISTRIBUTIONS TO BAC HOLDERS

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

     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 $11,900 and $22,093 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996,
respectively, and $14,606 and $26,141 for the three and six months ended June
30, 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.  The Partnership paid or accrued a base asset management fee of
$23,438 and $46,876, during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, and
$26,250 and $52,500 for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995.

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.
     The Partnership is investigating the extent of building damage to the
foundation at the Roseville hotel.  Erosion and settlement have caused some of
the walls to buckle and the hotel concrete floor to crack and sink.  Excavation
to determine the severity of the problem is expected to begin during September
1996.  All repair work is expected to be completed this fall.  As of August 5,
1996, there is no estimate of the total expected costs to be incurred.

               -----------------------------------

                          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 six months ended June 30 1996,
certain hotels retained aggregate additional replacement reserves of
approximately $176,700 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.  As of June 30, 1996, $85,000 was paid relating
to the lock replacements.  Other than the purchase of electronic door locks and
the periodic replacement of fixed assets, which are funded from the replacement
reserves, and the Roseville excavation and repair work, as discussed below,
there are no material commitments for capital expenditures.

     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 six months ended
June 30, 1996, along with existing cash resources, was adequate to support
operating, investing and financing requirements and declared distributions to
BAC Holders and the General Partner.  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 $1,481,785
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.

     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.

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

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

     The Partnership's net income, which consists principally of revenues form
hotel operations, decreased $10,391 during the three months ended June 30, 1996
from the comparable period in 1995 primarily due to a $96,622 decrease in room
revenue.  Room revenue decreased $114,744 due to the sale of the Kankakee hotel
which was partially offset by a $18,122 increase in room revenues at the
remaining hotels resulting from an increase in room rates. Partially offsetting
the decrease in net income was a $103,144 decrease in departmental expenses and
unallocated operating expenses resulting from a $180,797 decrease due to the
sale of the Kankakee hotel partially offset by a $77,653 increase at the
remaining hotels primarily due to an increase in air conditioning and utilities
for the Scottsdale hotel, along with an increase of sales and marketing costs
for the Clearwater and Scottsdale hotels.

     The Partnership's net income increased $68,309 during the six months ended
June 30, 1996 from the comparable period in 1995 primarily due to a $193,401
decrease in unallocated operating expenses and departmental expenses.  These
expenses decreased $332,362 due to the sale of the Kankakee hotel in July 1995
and was partially offset by a $138,961 increase at the remaining hotels
primarily due to an increase in air conditioning and utilities for the
Scottsdale hotel, along with an increase of sales and marketing costs for the
Clearwater and Scottsdale hotels.  Partially offsetting the increase in net
income was a $93,591 decrease in room revenue.  Room revenue decreased $189,882
due to the sale of the Kankakee hotel which was partially offset by $96,291
increase in room revenues at the remaining hotels resulting from an increase in
room rates.

     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:



               Hotel Location                 Peak Months

               Scottsdale, AZ           January through May


     The Partnership's Statements of Income include operating results for each
of the hotels as outlined below.  Gross Operating Income represents total
revenue from rooms, telephone, food and beverage, and rental and other, less the
related departmental expenses.  Operating Income (Loss) represents Gross
Operating Income less unallocated operating income (expenses).  The operating
results and average occupancy for the hotels for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:

(1)  The 1995 operating results presented for the Kankakee hotel are through
     July 19, 1995, the date of sale.
(2)  The sub-totals and totals for average occupancy are based on a weighted
     average taking into consideration the number of rooms at each location.

     Gross operating income for the Clearwater hotel for the three months ended
June 30, 1996 decreased from the same period in 1995 primarily due to the loss
of a major client in the fourth quarter of 1995.  Gross operating income for the
Clearwater hotel for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased from the same
period in 1995 primarily due to strong sales department generated business and
record breaking results from the corporate connection program.  Operating income
for the Clearwater hotel for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996
decreased from the same period in 1995 primarily due to the lost room nights
previously generated by a major client that was lost during the fourth quarter
of 1995 and increased marketing and advertising expenses incurred as a result of
increased sales efforts.  Gross operating income and operating income for the
Minneapolis hotel for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 decreased
from the same periods 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 operating income for the Plymouth hotel for the three and six months ended
June 30, 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 operating income for the Roseville hotel for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1996 decreased primarily due to decreased
special rated business and certain state of Minnesota business which did not
return in 1996.  Gross operating income for the Scottsdale hotel for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1996 increased primarily due to an increase in
room rates.  Operating income for the Scottsdale hotel for the three months
ended June 30, 1996 decreased from the same period in 1995 primarily due to
increased utilities during an extremely hot spring compared to 1995 and

                                                                -13-

additional sales and marketing expenses incurred the second quarter of 1996. 
Operating income for the Scottsdale hotel for the six months ended June 30, 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
878Kankakee hotel was sold on July 19, 1995, as previously discussed.

     The Partnership is investigating the extent of building damage to the
foundation at the Roseville hotel.  Erosion and settlement have caused some of
the walls to buckle and the concrete floor to crack and sink.  Excavation to
determine the severity of the problem is expected to begin during September
1996.  All repair work is expected to be completed this fall.  As of August 5,
1996, there is no estimate of the total expected costs to be incurred.
