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

We stayed at the Dana for our ten year anniversary and had a great experience. We stayed in the Water's Edge part of the resort in Room 1311. The first room we checked into didn't have as much of a view as we had hoped. My husband went down to the front desk and they quickly moved us to a... more

The Dana was an excellent hotel. We went for a one night stay to take the baby to Sea World. The rooms are cheap, given the prices of other hotels in the area, but the hotel itself is wonderful. The room was very spacious, and there was a calendar of events on the table in the room listing everything The... more

Bait and Switch...They show you the "new" section on the WEB anbd then give you the old 1970's section when you arrive. They then try to up sell you to the new section for $60 bucks more a nignt. DO NOT stay in the OLD section. It has NO sound insulation in the floors. Take the BAIT.... more
