CERTIFICATION

I, John F. Rothman, certify that:

         1.       I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Casa
                  Munras Hotel Partners, L.P.;

         2.       Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain
                  any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
                  material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light
                  of the circumstances under which such statements were made,
                  not misleading with respect to the period covered by this
                  quarterly report;

         3.       Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other
                  financial information included in this quarterly report,
                  fairly present in all material respects the financial
                  condition, results of operations and cash flows of the
                  Registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this
                  quarterly report;

         4.       As the Registrant's certifying officer, I am responsible for
                  establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and
                  procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and
                  15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as
                  defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the
                  Registrant and have:

                  a.       Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or
                           caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be
                           designed under our supervision, to ensure the
                           material information relating to the Registrant is
                           made known to me by others within those entities,
                           particularly during the period in which this
                           quarterly report is being prepared;

                  b.       Designed such internal control over financial
                           reporting, or caused such internal control over
                           financial reporting to be designed under our
                           supervision, to provide reasonable assurance
                           regarding the reliability of financial reporting and
                           the preparation of financial statements for external
                           purposes in accordance with generally accepted
                           accounting principles;

                  c.       Evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant's
                           disclosure controls and procedures and presented in
                           this report our conclusions about the effectiveness
                           of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the
                           end of the period covered by this report based on
                           such evaluation; and

                  d.       Disclosed in this report any change in the
                           Registrant's internal control over financial
                           reporting that occurred during the Registrant's most
                           recent fiscal quarter (the Registrant's fourth fiscal
                           quarter in the case of an annual


                           report) that has materially affected, or is
                           reasonable likely to materially affect, the
                           Registrant's internal control over financial
                           reporting;




         5.       As the Registrant's certifying officer, I have disclosed,
                  based on my most recent evaluation of internal control over
                  financial reporting, to the Registrant's auditors and the
                  audit committee of Registrant (or persons performing the
                  equivalent function):

                  a.       All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses
                           in the design or operation of internal controls over
                           financial reporting which are reasonable likely to
                           adversely affect the Registrant's ability to record,
                           process, summarize and report financial information;
                           and

                  b.       Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves
                           management or other employees who have a significant
                           role in the Registrant's internal controls over
                           financial reporting.
