We (my husband & I, and our toddler) enjoyed five nights at the Dana. We picked it for it's proximity to Sea World, although we ended up just enjoying the area beaches instead. The lobby area is modern, with a small gift shop tucked around the corner from the front desk. Check in was slow, although we seemed to have... More

We booked this hotel to stay in a different area in San diego. We usually stay closer to the airport or near the fashion valley mall however this time we wanted to stay in an area we haven't been before. The hotel had a discount which also made us choose it from other options we had, closer to downtown. We... More

Our check-in at the Dana Hotel went smoothly, via a friendly & helpful clerk. Be warned there may be overnight parking fees to contend with, ours were waived apparently after we checked our bill. The room was hard to find due to the way the buildings are marked but we were pleasantly delighted to find our room was on the... More

My wife and I try to go to San Diego once a year. When we do go we have to stay at The Dana. They have a very friendly staff and you can't beat the views of Mission Bay. We look forward to next time! More

Our son and his family took us to San Diego for a long weekend as a Christmas gift. The Dana was the right place for us to stay. The rooms were clean, the room service was wonderful. Quiet and beautiful view. We would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you Dana More

I am a return guest, the parent of USD students. Thanks to the generosity of the Dana's owner, a USD alum, when you visit there is a USD rate and special extras. Be sure to check it out. But that is not the reason I return, the hotel is situated along the bay, with pretty grounds, two great pools, clean,... More

Great property, larger than it seems at first glance,but still with a good vibe. Had a beautiful view of the bay and boats in the harbor.Water activities available right there is a plus. If you are a boater, there is a launch and docking facilities. Bikes available to rent and you can go for miles on the bike path around... More

We stayed here for only 2 nights but the rooms were really clean and fairly modern, they had a nice summery feel to them even though it was winter. There are many rooms as part if the complex surrounded by nice green plants and the boats in the marina are a nice backdrop. You can walk or catch a bus... More

Three things I dread about hotels as a frequent traveller are 1) check-in, 2) check-out, and 3) the hotel restaurant. Not at The Dana. Check-in and check-out were seamless and quick, and the restaurant, Firefly, was creative and a lesson in perfect service. Special kudos to the chef who took time to come to our table and answer a question... More
