Coming back
Our stay are Dana was great. The staff at check-in was quick and professional. Our room was nice, but it smelled a little like cigarettes and it was "non smoking ". The bed was the biggest issue fir me, it was like trying to sleep on a rock. The property was very clean and had a very nice view of the marina and has a walking path. The breakfast buffet is basic but very tasty, but the omelet station steals the show, along with the very spectacular service of the restaurant staff. The Bayside pool is very nice and my sin says it was heated, i cant confirm that because i was watching him from the firepit table enjoying some drinks. All in all it was a great stay.

Amazing as always!
The Dana is a great place to stay. Our family of four stayed for 3 nights for a birthday trip and had an excellent time. The room was great, the service was great, our boys swam in the heated pool every night! We will definitely be back again soon.

Nice hotel but lacking atmosphere
Nice, clean, room. Ample parking, although $29 dollars per night. Good location if you have a car, not much in immediate vacinity if you don't. Service was okay but a lack of welcoming atmosphere. Our chosen food in the on-site restaurant was not great (nachos & fish tacos) but service was great.

It was very close to the San Diego airport , if you have a rental car then it’s very convenient to go around places like La Jolla, Torrey Pines , Sandiego zoo and other local restaurants. We opted for early check in and late check outs , hotel staff was very accommodative and didn’t charge us any. After negotiations parking fee came down to $10 per night . Overall it is okay , we would have enjoyed if we gotten a better room upgrade with garden or bay view in the top floor . Pool was clean and dine in Resturant was very nice as well

Convenient location, staff was ok, except for this one restaurant manager that took care of us, super firendly to us as a family and was just so kind to our daughter. I didnt get his name but he was behind the bar. Just an amazing asset for this hotel. Room was ok, even the upgrade, but overall ok.

The property is unique with beautiful landscape and paths. Very convenient and offers opportunities for water sports, kayaking and biking around. One pool was closed which I knew once I got there. The cleaning lady did an amazing job everyday, and so did the ladies at the front desk. The thing I wish was better is the breakfast, first the price and the limited choices. We only had it once ( cost 59$ for two!). Overall, the Dana on mission bay is a beautiful destination with breathtaking views.
