But the school is nestled in the middle of the gorgeous wood scenery. We were greeted at the guard gate by two guards who came out and welcomed us personally. We chatted for a couple of minutes and then it was off to our room. What you just have to see is the beautiful view from the main driveway looking up the middle of the campus. Postcard like, to say the least. The wife and I stayed on campus during the week of Christmas visiting friends. Not too long of a ride from the Oakland Airport. While in the car, our hostess received a call from the guard gate asking if we'd gotten in alright. I thought that was quite nice, that the people at the security gate we are aware of our arrival. With that type of attention, we knew safety would not be an issue. Our room was very, very nice. Not really large, but plenty of room for two people and also a spacious desk area for working. We were staying for a week, so the fact that there was a nice sized walk in closet was a bonus for us. I work from home. Which means I also work when I am on the road. So for me, the litmus test is always the ease in which I can do my work. Well, the Wi-Fi work perfectly. No glitches and fast speeds. Also, because we knew there would be Wi-Fi, we brought our Roku with us and was able to stream our favorite shows. Cool, right? For you folks who hang out in the bathroom all the time (my wife is one of them), our bathroom was extremely spacious with plenty of towels. And oh man, did that water get hot. So believe me when I tell you that you will have no trouble in the morning with a cold shower. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to make our own meals. The refrigerator, stove, and microwave both work fine. The wife and I are big believers and prepping our own food because we have been trying to lose weight. There was a 24-Hour grocery store (Safeway) right up the street, so access to groceries was no problem. While we did not use public transportation, we noticed the BART line passing right by the school, so for you folks who want to get around, you will have no problem. Not that I would ever have the opportunity to use them, but during a tour we also saw that the campus had excellent conference facilities. As a resume writer, I would not likely have much use for this. But I figured some of you reading this review planning business retreats or team building activities may need this. Appears to be able to accommodate any size group. We have friends in the San Francisco area, so we have decided that the next time we return, we are definitely staying at Saint Mary's College of California again. The wife and I are not big fans of hotels, simply because of the lack of personal feel. Staying on a college campus was different for us, but we really felt as though we were treated like family.

Ms. Dominique was so professional, personable, and helpful throughout the entire planning process. She really helped bring my vision to life and made everything feel much less stressful. She and her team decorated the space beautifully and had everything set up exactly the way I wanted. The venue itself is beautiful, elegant, and such a great space for any special event. One of my favorite touches was that she even created a children's activity area with Jenga blocks, bubbles, coloring books, and markers, which was such a thoughtful detail and really appreciated by the parents. Several of my guests were so impressed that they actually asked for her information because they want to book events there too! We had such a great experience and will definitely be hosting another event there in the future. I highly recommend The Royal Banquet Hall if you're looking for a beautiful venue and great service.

One of my clients reserved the larger hall for a party and while the space itself was good, it was much too warm in the building - even in April. I can only imagine how hot it gets during a Solano County summer! I heard from several attendees of the party who have been to other events at the Center that is is regularly much too warm. I don't know if there is AC available and it's just not turned on, or if this beautiful and historic venue really has no AC, but it was much too warm even with the doors and windows open on this mid-April evening. There is a parking garage right next door and also street parking available. We brought in our own catering with no issue whatsoever and even served wine (pretty sure that is allowed - I actually didn't make the arrangements). There was ample seating (long tables with chairs) for our dinner event and plenty of tables for a buffet and makeshift bar area. Again, it's a lovely facility and a real benefit for the citizens of Solano County but if you want to have an event here, I would absolutely check on the temperature controls. With almost 70 people in the large room, it was sweltering and uncomfortable.

I attended the Stockton Jazz Festival at the Weber Event Center and was extremely disappointed with…read morethe overall experience. This festival attracted a large number of seniors and older adults, yet the event appeared to do very little to accommodate the needs of that audience. Temperatures were in the upper 80s, there was very limited shade, outside food was prohibited, and attendees were only allowed to bring one 16-ounce bottle of water that could not even be frozen. For an event attended largely by seniors, this policy was unreasonable and showed a lack of consideration for attendee comfort and well-being. The food situation only made matters worse. Food vendor lines stretched for what felt like an hour, and some vendors ran out of food. People were left standing in the heat waiting for food and water because they were not allowed to bring their own. Event organizers should have anticipated the crowd size and provided enough food vendors and hydration options. The most frustrating part was the stage setup. There was already a large VIP section in front of the stage, but additional tents were placed directly in the middle of that VIP area. These tents completely obstructed the view for many attendees sitting behind them. From where I was seated, I could hear the music but could not see the performers on stage at all. I paid for a two-day ticket to watch a live performance, not just listen from a distance. In fact, the view was so obstructed and the weather conditions so uncomfortable that I chose not to return to the venue on Sunday. Instead, I listened to the music from my hotel because I could hear it just as well from there as I could from my seat inside the festival grounds. The organizers need to seriously rethink their hydration policies, food service capacity, shade availability, and stage layout. Many attendees paid good money for this event and were unable to comfortably see the performers they came to watch. Given the obstructed views and overall experience, I believe attendees deserve some form of compensation or refund consideration. I love jazz and was looking forward to this festival, but unfortunately, this was one of the most poorly planned outdoor events I have attended. To make matters even more frustrating, I traveled more than two hours and paid for a nearby hotel specifically to attend this festival and enjoy a full weekend of live jazz. After spending the money on tickets, travel, lodging, and other expenses, I arrived only to find myself unable to see the performers because of the obstructed view created by the tents placed in the middle of the VIP area. I did not make that investment of time and money simply to listen to the music from a distance. Had I known my view would be completely blocked, I would not have purchased a two-day ticket People attend a live music festival to see and hear the performers. When attendees are paying customers who have traveled long distances and booked hotels, obstructed views, inadequate shade, long food lines, and restrictive water policies are simply unacceptable
