They were doing construction on 5 rooms on my floor. Plumbing was not good. Rooms were dated. Switched rooms and the toilet did not flush properly and a small mirror fell off in the middle of the night and broke. The only reason I didn’t switch my hotel in the middle of my stay was the service.

We found out that there are two different Danas. The first room they put us in was awful! Tiny, thin walls, and old. We were ready to pull out of the 5 day trip until they moved us into the newer building. This was great! Everything we hoped for and a view of the bay.

I had a really hard time sleeping at this hotel because the insulation is so poor, I could hear the baby crying in the next room. Not a quiet, relaxing place. Neighbor smoked weed right in front of my room, so the smoke wafted into my room because I had the windows open because without the windows open, I felt like I was inside someone’s mouth. Wont stay here ever again and if you don’t care about a loud environment and just want to party it’s perfect.

Staff was wonderful, loved the upgrade, so many things to do in the area. Loved the pools and late hours it remained open, allowed for the kids to have fun before bed time! Garden area was perfect! Super pet friendly other than the huge pet fee… it was perfect!

Enjoyed our stay. The rooms were comfortable. A bit difficult on the 2nd floor with the kids but worked out. The pools and hot tubs were nice and buffet breakfast were adequate, nothing special, though the setting was nice.

We didn't enjoy

The room wasn't looking good like the website advertisement, it's not that specious and luxurious that make you feel you are in a luxury hotel, it looks like regular multy units apartment.the heater was very loud for whole night it doesn't stop, it old style and non remotely used. It doesn't deserve to pay $470 for one night in this hotel.

I enjoyed how we were so close to mission beach which already had a lot to do but felt that the hotel had a lot as well. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after long days and then swimming in the pool (which was actually pretty warm!). My pups were super happy about having goodie bags and bowls. We enjoyed walking the trails around the hotel. The only downside we found was the room itself wasn’t super clean such as red splotches in the bathroom.

Only one way in and out made it difficult to just get to the front desk. The room was nice in that it had a mini fridge, microwave, and safe but the room was VERY noisy between outside traffic (cars), people walking by, and the AC/heater unit loudly kicking in and off every 5 minutes making for a lousy 3 nights of sleep. The property itself seemed nice as we walked to the onsite restaurant Firefly for dinner one night. The staff there and the food were all amazing and were probably the only enjoyable part of our entire stay. We visit San Diego a lot but will not stay here again.
