Nope….
Any idea who bought the quality inn and/or what they plan on doing with it?
I'm hosting a walk on April 30 around the Las Tunas Road neighbhood to Franchesci Park and would like to share a little history of the park and its financial issues. May I have your permission to print about 15 copies of your article. It's a great history of what's stalled along the way to preserving this property.
Thx.

It is banned in almost all of the south county except in the limited coastal zone. But tell that to the hundreds of people illegally renting out units.
A map of Santa Barbara city boundaries indicates that south of Hale Park is Santa Barbara, and north of it is Montecito. So Eucalyptus Hill Drive is definitely Santa Barbara, not Montecito. There's a detail of the area at https://www.sitelinesb.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Eucalyptus-Hill-Santa-Barbara-boundary.jpg—the yellow part is Santa Barbara.
The city of Palm Springs is attempting to ban Pacaso from doing business there. PS claims Pacaso's business model is a time share which are not allowed. Pacaso denies this. PS is following St. Helenas lead and it will most likely end up in court.
With all these hotel rooms available for tourists, let’s finally ban short-term rentals in housing stock so residents can find a place to live.
In reference to: https://www.sitelinesb.com/climbing-the-back-of-eucalyptus-hill/
The double street signs pictured below led me to believe that this was the border between Montecito and Santa Barbara, but according to Google Maps, I crossed into Santa Barbara a while back. Did the folks on Eucalyptus Hill Drive add the Montecito-style sign in an effort to be thought of as in Montecito?
This area, according to:
https://california.hometownlocator.com/cities/map,n,montecito-ca,fid,1661052.cfm
is in Montecito.
Exactly my thoughts!! We residents conserve so the tourists can come play?
I’m guessing Oye Vey Maria’s is a play on Ave Maria? Thus the “e”.
We’ve been to L’Antica in Hollywood several times. Not only great pizza but world class pasta! Can’t wait for it to open!
Drill baby drill!
I’d much rather see high density housing than hospitality in most of these locations.
Where is the water these hotels will need coming from?
Peaceful living space is essential. This article reminds me to avoid stack and pack multi-family units, to never share a wall, and to seek an acre or more for distance from inconsiderate others. Occupied ADUs built right up to the contiguous neighbor's border pose a similar problem. WHY no demand from locals to City or County of Santa Barbara officials to push back?
Why not go to Picasso directly, as a potential buyer, and find out if you can rent your share out?
Casa Del Herrero :)
No, but thanks for guessing!

Someone’s making turtle soup…?
My sister and her friends came to town and they stayed at the El Encanto. They were all very happy with every aspect, the rooms, the service, the food, the grounds, the view, ... It is far from "soulless".
We ate at Sevtap a few days before they closed their doors. The owner said they will be doing some pop ups around town. So please keep your eyes open for them and let’s show them our support. They are a wonderful family!
At least the noise is only 1/8 of the time.??? What if my regular neighbour is noisy or has a vacation home he and his friends are using?
Sometimes it’s not the model itself what is wrong…
Just my 2 cents
No….
