So, I’ve actually been there twice since the renovation. The ballroom itself and everything inside it is totally fresh. They also updated some of the rooms and the kitchen, but pretty much everything else stays the same.
That said, the lobby still has that tacky "golden" retro vibe from the early eighties. Some people might hate it, but if you don't mind, you should definitely consider this spot because it's way better than what else you get for the same price.

Compared to my first visit, the last time I was there, they had split the ballroom into two sections using a partition, so you can have smaller groups without a huge crowd. The food? Honestly, better than your average hotel or restaurant fare. Like, the gnocchi were handmade and seriously delicious. Plus, the parking is a massive win—I think it fits like 200 or 300 cars easy.

If you're looking for a spot in San Diego, you seriously need to check out that new hall at the Hotel Chicago over in Duilovo. I hit up a party there the Saturday before last and man, I was blown away. It was awesome. Seriously, the food and the service are top-tier... they've got those classic round tables, fits about 300 people easily, and there's this huge outdoor terrace they probably use once summer hits. 👍

There are some photos on the link at the bottom of the page. If anyone's scouting locations, you definitely gotta go see it for yourself...

Has anyone actually stayed in the ballroom at the Hotel Plaza over in San Francisco? I’ve been hearing whispers that the place is top-tier—just finished a massive renovation and the prices aren't even that bad... if you know anything else about it, drop a comment here or just hit me up in my DMs.
