The Dana is my home away from Pa, as my son has lived in SanDiego for 23 years. We reunite at the Dana and find the nicest people who enjoy this intimate resort. The grounds are beautiful, so well kept. Some machinery could use updating, such as ice machine, and I miss the Pearl Restaurant for more breakfast and lunch choices. Food at the Firefly is wonderful, but pricey for breakfast and lunches.

My family and I travel to Mission Bay every year and usually stay at the Dana, unfortunately even though I paid extra for the Bay view there was a definite decline in the Dana all around. We were over charged >$100 at the Firefly and even though it was refunded there was difficulty getting to that point -getting the run around to talk to someone after our stay was impossible. There were never chairs to lay our towels on due to chair hoarding and a general unhappiness of the people staying there. Not like we have experienced in the past. We will not likely return again ever.
