The Dana is a lovely facility that is close to the area attractions in San Diego. The beach and Sea World are both minutes away from the hotel. The grounds of the hotel are very inviting for walks. The staff was very friendly. When I found their rates had gone down after I booked, the staff was very accomodating and... more

We had a wonderful 20th anniversary stay at The Dana. This is the second time staying at this hotel and it was even better than the first time. We stayed on the third floor of the newest building that has a balcony with a nice marina AND a bay view to enjoy our morning coffee on. The room was good... more

It was a very big mistake to have spent that much money on this "Psycho" look a like motel. Not even being so close to SeaWorld makes the money spent worth. The rooms are 50's looking...you can hear everything your neighbors are doing, which is really bad. I would never stay here again and I certainly DO NOT recommend this... more

Our small group had rooms in both the old and new sections of the hotel. The accommodations were like night and day. Our room (new section) was large, well appointed and had a beautiful view. Some of the old section rooms, although 75 % of the price, were horrible - tissue paper thin walls and shabby. The housekeeping, throughout, was... more

We stayed at the Dana on Mission Bay for our honeymoon and had a wonderful time. I imagine our review wouldn't be as awarding if we had stayed in the older section of the hotel, but the new section was beyond our expectations. I suggest the Premium rooms (3rd floor, new section) to anyone wanting a truely perfect San Diego... more

We just got back from The Dana at Mission Bay and had a fantastic time! It is set up like a motel which made it really easy to go to the pool, get things out of the car. Across the street is the Hilton and The dana just felt more quaint. The people working there were fantastic! They were very... more

We read reviews and researched many hotels in the SD area, and chose The Dana for the main part of our visit. It was a great choice. The room was large with a small couch and seating area, a frig, micro, counter and sink. It was spotless and well-appointed, with a first floor premium bay view. The beds were very... more

We were super happy with our stay, the room was wonderful! The beds were great, the view was to die for, right opn the bay and both the pools were beautiful. They have a dirve in movie every Friday at one of the pools and the landscaping was lovely. The service was very firendly and our needs were met quickly.... more

Stayed two nights in a Marina View room. This was not a good value. The view was just ok, but most importantly the room wasn't really set up to take advantage of the view. For $50 more it is probably worth it to get sea view room in their newest wing which all have patios. The public areas were all... more
