Property is on a great location. Dana offers great activities. including night swimming until 10 pm. Firefly restaurant sucks but the poolbar on the second pool i highly recommend 👌. We stayed for 2 nights 3 days. very friendly and accommodating staffs. Parking for guests is worth it because Parking is hard to come by since it next to Belmont part, mission beach and sea world. Especially in the weekend's your not the only people from out of town that visit San Diego. We really didn't stay on the dana hotel as much since we had only 3 days to see what san diego had to offer. But we did enjoy the night activities like movie dive after sea world. Wouldnt recommend to eat at firefly restaurant, its overpriced and biased.

Wedding Season

We were in town for a family gathering. The first night we had a major issue with noise due a wedding reception happening right outside of our room. The manager was very accommodating and moved us to a new room for our remaining nights and it was much better. Overall a good location and we would stay there again.

We loved staying at the Dana! We have decided that the next time we’re in San Diego, we will stay again! It is a beautiful property. The restaurant is so good and so are the pools. Every day we had an excellent experience with the staff and the cleanliness of the rooms. We loved that they turned over the room every morning and we had a freshly made bed to sleep in every night. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

The Dana has beautiful views and amenities such as its two pools. The kids loved that you can watch the fireworks from Sea World. Great restaurants within 5 minute driving distances. The staff were very friendly and attentive to needs. I will say they charge a steep fee for parking. It was also a little weird when we opened the patio blinds to see a wedding taking place 5 feet from our patio?!
