I’ve stayed at this hotel a ton of times since 2007 when my daughter went to college at USD. Every single staff member I interacted with was kind and polite and friendly and went over and above what was necessary. The location is gorgeous and the restaurant is superb.

I've stayed at The Dana many times, the property is like a tropical jungle, it's fun just to walk around. The rooms are a bit small but nice, the dual sinks is a nice touch.. All the rooms have their own outside entrance, old school Motel style, there are no elevators. The buildings are two story so if you would have trouble getting your luggage up one flight of stairs, make sure you get a ground floor room. It's a laid back place, no Disco lounge or anything like that.

We chose a bay front room. Loved being on the water. Can be a little loud with the rowing crews out training early every morning. Very comfortable room and all generally well maintained. This is not a new resort if that is what you want. Easy to get most everywhere with a car.

It had a great location near many attractions and prints of interest. The staff was helpful. While the buildings were probably built a while ago, the rooms were updated and modern. The one negative was the rooms had the old-fashioned in wall a/c units and were loud. The breakfast that came with the stay was a nice surprise. We would come back again.

Loved the pool and the hot tub. The room was lovely however the walls are thin and you can hear TV from next door rather easily. Also no elevators so you may need to lug your suitcase to the second floor. I would still stay here again though
