                            CERTIFICATION PURSUANT TO
                             18 U.S.C. SECTION 1350,
                             AS ADOPTED PURSUANT TO
                  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.
