| Plan of Liquidation                         | PLAN OF LIQUIDATIONOn April 1, 2013 the General Partner of CRI Hotel Income Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), adopted, subject to partner approval, a Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution for the Partnership (the “Plan of Liquidation”).  On June 14, 2013, the partners of the Partnership approved the Plan of Liquidation. Under the Plan of Liquidation, the General Partner of the Partnership will (1) seek to sell the assets of the Partnership and use the sales proceeds and/or other Partnership funds to pay all expenses in connection with such sales, (2) pay or make provision for payment of all Partnership obligations and liabilities, including accrued fees and unpaid loans to the General Partner and (3) distribute the remaining assets as set forth in the Partnership’s Agreement of Limited Partnership, dated as of September 23, 1986.  Currently, the remaining hotels are under contract for sale.  There can be no assurance as to when the liquidation and dissolution of the Partnership will be completed, but it is anticipated that the process will be completed prior to December 31, 2014.  Liquidation is not imminent, and as such, we have not prepared these financial statements under the liquidation basis of accounting.  Because the liquidation was not imminent as of June 30, 2013, the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented assuming the Partnership will continue as a going concern. |
