Beautiful property that reminded us of Hawaii. You can tell the building is older but it's kept up very nice. Fantastic amenities with two pools with bars and movies for kids at night at the pool. Great location to mission beach. We will be going back.

We love staying at the Dana whenever we bring our pups. It is very dog-friendly. We stayed at the room with the bay view. There is a patio in the Junior Suites where the dogs can look out. There is a grassy area right outside the room, making it convenient for potty breaks and walks. The restaurant is fantastic. Everything was great.

The Dana is a must go to for anyone staying in San Diego. It was clean, quite and all-around beautiful property. Even though the weather was cool we were able to enjoy our balcony and the lovely view. The room itself was very clean, bright and we have absolutely nothing bad to say about it. We will definitely make this our go to when in San Diego.

Overall nice place in good location. Most staff were very friendly and welcoming. Enjoyed the stay. Shower/tub looked a little dated and would have preferred a bathroom door instead of a sliding privacy screen.
