I had a wonderful stay at The Dana on Mission Bay! The location is unbeatable—right on the water and just minutes from SeaWorld and downtown San Diego. My room was clean, spacious, and had beautiful views of the bay. The pools were relaxing, and I loved being able to walk along the waterfront. Firefly Eatery & Bar was a highlight with great food and amazing views. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I’d definitely recommend The Dana to anyone visiting San Diego for a mix of relaxation and convenience.

Old style but great location

A great location next to the marina. The rooms are old style in blocks with parking outside the blocks. Some reviews thought that the Dana was a motel but it’s not. Room was clean, bright and comfortable. We did have to change rooms after the first night as we paid for a room with marina view but there was a big tree blocking the view. The hotel staff were accommodating though. Plenty of activities around the hotel and over the main road, including the sunset cruise which is recommended. Decent restaurant on site and good pools. A reliable and cheap bus service available to Old Town from outside the hotel and then a short tram ride into the city to save on car parking fees.

Guests should definitely understand the walls are thin. You will hear people outside and above you. The aesthetic of the rooms have a motel-ish vibe but when you think about the hotel being by the water - it’s giving sailor vibes. It was a very convenient location in great distance of all the areas we wanted to be like La Jolla and Downtown. The views of the Marina are gorgeous and were worth the stay. Nice for walks and picnics. I likely would not stay here again given I prefer a more luxurious stay.

Front desk communication about amenities: "It would be beneficial if the front desk staff could proactively inform guests about the food and beverage options available at the second pool area upon arrival." Late flight guest accommodations: "For guests with late-night flights or delayed flights, offering the option of an indoor shower facility would be a valuable amenity, enhancing their comfort and convenience before departure." Noise disturbances between apartments: "The noise levels transferring between adjacent apartments were quite disruptive, particularly when occupants in the neighboring room were leaving. This significantly impacted the quality of my sleep."

Property is lovely; staff go above and beyond to make your stay exemplary. Restaurant is quite good. I don’t believe there’s a breakfast option. The pool area has ample lounge chairs and waitress service, which is definitely a plus. The room is okay - nothing to write home about. The beds were fine, although not outstanding. There’s a refrigerator, robes, ironing board and iron, and a coffee maker. There’s a desk with one chair, so it’s not amenable to two people playing games and it makes the room cramped. The room shows its age. But overall, a lovely stay on the bay!

Nice hotel with ok accommodations/service

I enjoyed my time at the Dana, I have stayed here in the past as well. The restaurant onsite had good food and good service. It’s a great location for walking. The staff was friendly and accommodating however I did have tiny ants in my room. Staff were prompt to fix the issue and throughly cleaned the room however there were a few ants still left. I also had to ask for my room to be cleaned multiple times as they didn’t automatically come to clean each day. I went 2 days without any service which was frustrating. They have laundry services to do your own laundry with reasonable prices.
