Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 9, 2010, CRI Hotel Income of Minnesota, LLC (“CRI Hotel of Minnesota”) was formed for the purpose of creating a single purpose entity for refinancing the University Days Inn hotel.  CRI Hotel of Minnesota is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CRI Hotel Income Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership").  Capitol Hotel Group, Inc. is a special member of CRI Hotel of Minnesota for bankruptcy protection purposes.   The Partnership contributed the University Days Inn hotel to CRI Hotel of Minnesota in connection with its submission of a mortgage loan application to Franklin National Bank of Minneapolis to refinance the existing mortgage loan on the University Days Inn hotel (the “Refinancing”).  Prior to the Refinancing, the University Days Inn hotel was subject to a mortgage held by Remediation Capital, which included a $2,900,000.00 loan secured by the University Days Inn hotel.  On December 17, 2010, CRI Hotel of Minnesota entered into a Loan Agreement with Franklin National Bank of Minneapolis for the purpose of refinancing the prior loan with Remediation Capital, which was paid off on December 17, 2010.  Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Franklin National Bank of Minneapolis issued a loan to CRI Hotel of Minnesota in the principal amount of $3,500,000 for a term of three (3) years (the “Loan”).  CRI Hotel of Minnesota executed a promissory note in the principal amount of $3,500,000 in favor of Franklin National Bank of Minneapolis and executed a mortgage and security agreement and related financing documents.  The Loan is secured by the University Days Inn hotel property.  The interest rate for the Loan is seven percent (7%) per year. Principal and interest payments are based upon a 20 year amortization schedule.    A $350,000 environmental escrow reserve account will be established, which will be released when and if the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency issues a No Further Action letter, as previously described in the Partnership's annual and quarterly filings.    Among other things, the Loan Agreement includes a requirement that the borrower maintain a cash flow coverage ratio of 1.25 to 1, imposes restrictions on monthly distributions to the Partnership based on the borrower's level of excess cash flow during the prior month, and contains other covenants and representations, warranties and events of default.  The prior mortgage loan with Remediation Capital was paid off on December 17, 2010 and the $500,000 environmental escrow held by Remediation Capital was returned to the Partnership on December 17, 2010.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement and the Combination Mortgage, Security Agreement, Assignment of Rents and Fixture Financing Statement which are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.

Item 2.03    Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off
