I remember spending a lot of time at the snack bar. Go figure. Anyways, banquet hall we were housed in for the event was spacious and well kept. The tables were in good order and the chairs comfortable enough. The building offered a stage, clean restrooms, an area for the caterer to set up, and a good sounds system. The staff at the front as you walk into the building were welcoming and friendly. There are several parking lots and one adjacent to the banquet hall we were in. The land escaping immediately around the building we were in was very nice, but I did notice that the gold course needed some TLC. The grass was very uneven and not well kept up.

***ATTN: ARBOR VIEW RENTERS MARCH to APRIL 2019*** RENTERS, PLEASE READ --…read more Several weeks ago their large banquet room received significant amount of water damage from the terrible storm. The damage was so severe, a big remodel is needed. Yet all that was told to my family and I was about minor work: new carpet, wall painting, new doors, updated drape holders, and the remodel will be done in a couple weeks. It has now been 3 different "completion dates", and not once we were told by the coordinator. We had to reach out every time and ask what exactly is going on there. Basically, there is not a 100% guaranteed date whatsoever when the work will be done (approximate completion is mid April.) Needless to say, MY WEDDING IS COMPLETELY CHANGING VENUES WITH ONLY 3 WEEKS AWAY!!!! (Pitiful stress and anxious memory I'll always remember.) Thankfully I found out from my CATERING VENDOR that all March & most April events were being postponed &/or canceled. So the coordinator can notify other renters but not us? Really. I definitely feel ignored knowing we were reaching out and keeping in touch about the remodel... I've been more overwhelmed with wedding planning in the past 24 hours verses in the past year. Especially after speaking with quite a few places and knowing my venue budget could double with very slim options left... Good luck to those renters. You will need it!!!

We love that the space already has an aesthetic so it's decorated even before we put anything up. It's convenient to rent tables and chairs on the spot and having the flexibility to fix the space up any way you like is great. I also love that they have a fridge that we've used for cakes and desserts. Our friends and family have complimented how nice the space is and they like how easy and accessible it is to park nearby and walk up. Pat and team have been super helpful, informative, and communicated with us throughout the process, making everything so easy. We're excited to continue having events here in the future.

I messaged the page and ended up booking the studio for my daughter's birthday that very Friday, and I can't rave enough about how amazing the owner made the entire process. She was incredibly kind, professional, and made everything so easy and stress-free. Truly one of those people who goes above and beyond. I wish her nothing but continued success in her business. Now let's talk about the studio itself. It is absolutely beautiful and so girly, the perfect space for birthday parties. I hosted a painting party and brought in a vendor to guide the kids through a fun art activity. Afterward, the kids discovered the indoor playground and were obsessed. They had the best time. The entire space is thoughtfully decorated, and to top it all off, they even set up a gorgeous backdrop for us. I could rave about this place forever. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a magical, stress-free party experience. To top it off this venue is very reasonable price compared to other places in the area!

From the very…read morebeginning, he did everything he possibly could to make sure my daughter's Sweet 16 was the most special and memorable night. He's honestly one of the kindest and most humble business owners I've ever me, and it showed in the way he took care of every detail. We loved that we got to sample his popular chipotle sauce...amazing! Also let us sample the chocolate he uses for the chocolate fountain, also amazing! We actually got to sample a slice of cake, which was very delicious. Even though we went with a different person for the cake, it was delicious! The hall itself was gorgeous and much bigger than what we actually needed, but that turned out to be a blessing. There was so much room between tables, so guests could move around comfortably without squeezing between chairs. My cousin, who was on a knee scooter due to a leg injury and an aunt with a walker, were able to get around with ease, including to and from the large restrooms. What really surprised me were all the extras that came with the hall-I didn't even have to bring in much of my own, though I still added one desert table for the candy apples we had. The snack table he had, was a big hit and everyone loved it. Mike made it the whole process so easy and stress-free, and I can honestly say the night couldn't have been better. I'm so grateful for the experience and would recommend Babylon Palace to anyone who wants their event to feel truly special.

not much of a women's center anymore. very industrial area, which i like. surprised citymark is…read moresupposed to be building high end residences here across from walmart and the automotive shop. very different design for citymark as well - when i purchased one of their condos (m2i) there was a lot of architectural talk about matching the facade to the surrounding neighborhood - didn't work out that way, but i liked the exposed structural materials at that location. in the end - a condo at this location cannot be worth more than $100k or $200 a square foot for 600sf. still crazy expensive compared to what the land was sold for at around $160k for the whole lot then resold recently at $2.1 million supposedly. better question - how could a location like this be worth anything at all when there are hundreds of condos proposed for construction in la mesa on their gis website? be careful starting a business that requires foot traffic here, when m2i first started the vast majority of the businesses in that area went belly up within a few years and that was in a high traffic city location - almost no-one walks around this area. the entitled design certainly is not industrial enough for the neighborhood - makes me super sad to read about the la mesa women's club at the library while also spending $320k on a unit at m2i then learning about what they are building here / how the developer/woman's group is suing the church next door. i am a bit ashamed to have paid for one of these units from citymark in the past - m2i 506 at 1050 island ave. that was me. also of note - citymark has a habit of installing very limited finished with the expectation that owners finish the interior of the units. that can work, but you should pay appropriately. personally - i expect more from a woman's club. primarily: consideration for the longevity of the city and the architectural design which they have strong control over at this location. they definitely sold out here while beating up on the church they grew up alongside. not cool - that says something about its current members. when you have property and an opportunity to build something that develops the city you are supposed to be shepherding, but you choose to sell out like this - there's something very wrong or entirely self centered going on. this proposed citymark design also shows that the women's club does not care about fabrication or industry whatsoever (which this area is rife with), just high end residential which is not going to help the la mesa tax base. expect a glut of units in la mesa at rock bottom prices with the intent of having you drive to work on a regular basis instead of working locally (there are already huge vacancies.) also expect higher prices in this area because of fewer low dollar residences.
