Another of my go to hotels when fishing out of seaforth. Right across the street from the landing. Rooms are clean and nice. Parking is tight though. They need bigger stalls.

GREAT place. Cleaning staff is excellent. Having Firfly on the grounds is a great bonus. Poolside drinks from firefly! Also great location, close to great beaches and everything. 2 family friendly pools. For the price you can't beat it in San Diego.

Front desk staff were lovely. I’m a returning customer and I will most definitely be returning again! The facilities, rooms, in room coffee, shower pressure, mattress and pillows were wonderful! The pool is saltwater and (I believe) heated. It was hot so I’m not 100 percent sure. It really was a comfortable and restful stay.

My wife and I stayed at The Dana on Mission Bay for a short San Diego getaway and had a great experience. We stayed in a Junior Suite with an ocean view, which was perfect for our trip. The property was clean and well kept, and the staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. We also really liked the location. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby within walking or biking distance, which made it easy to get around and enjoy the area without having to drive everywhere. Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed our stay. We would definitely stay at The Dana again on our next trip to San Diego!

We stayed here for our wedding night and again for our babymoon. Our wedding night was absolutely amazing we had a room with a massive walk in shower and beautiful view. Our babymoon room was ok. Tiny bathtub shower with a really crappy shower head and very little water pressure. View still amazing and staff very friendly. Wish I could figure out which room I stayed in before so I can have a walk in shower instead of grandmas tub from the 80s next time.

Our 5 day stay at the Dana was awesome. The grounds are well kept and beautiful. The staff were all so friendly. The Firefly restaurant was delicious and so convenient. Being on a marina the views are amazing especially the stunning sunsets. You can rent bikes , kayaks and jet skis for a fee. The pools were refreshing. The rooms were very clean and they replenished the towels each day. Some say the rooms are outdated a bit but didn’t bother us. You’re on vacation, in the rooms to sleep. Our king size bed and the pillows were comfy . They have a free shuttle that took us to SeaWorld and back….that was cool. We loved our stay and had no complaints. We will be back again.

On vacation with boyfriend and it is a great getaway for couples. We enjoyed the drinks at the restaurant. Also being able to see the light show at Sea World from the hotel marina was a nice touch.
