                  SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, John F. Rothman, certify that:

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

         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-14 and
                  15d-14) for the Registrant and have:

                  a.       Designed such disclosure controls and procedures to
                           ensure that 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.       Evaluated the effectiveness of the Registrant's
                           disclosure controls and procedures as of a date
                           within 90 days prior to the filing date of this
                           quarterly report (the "Evaluation Date"); and

                  c.       Presented in this quarterly report my conclusions
                           about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
                           and procedures based on my evaluation as of the
                           Evaluation Date;

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

                  a.       All significant deficiencies in the design or
                           operation of internal controls which could adversely
                           affect the Registrant's ability to record, process,



                           summarize and report financial data and have
                           identified for the Registrant's auditors any material
                           weakness in internal controls; 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; and

         6.       As the Registrant's certifying officer, I have indicated in
                  this quarterly report whether or not there were significant
                  changes in internal controls or in other factors that could
                  significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the date
                  of my most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions
                  with regard to significant deficiencies and material weakness.
