After staying at The Dana in 2005 we were very happy to find a great offer for High Season this year, so we canceled an already booked Hotel and switched to The Dana. In 2005 we were very satisfied with the Hotel's service, but since our last stay a few things changed....The booking of our stay was already complicated, we... more

You can't go wrong with this hotel it's walking distance from Sea World and a very short drive to Misson Beach, which is the best beach in the area. We stayed in the older side for 5 days with a family of 4, that's parent and 2 teenagers. the 15 & 16 yr old boys loved this hotel. We asked... more

My husband and I stayed 4 nights at The Dana and had a wonderful experience. We appreciated the free shuttle to and from the airport, cruise terminal, and Sea World. There is also a bus line directly in front of the hotel so it was easy and inexpensive to go downtown. The concierge was very friendly and helped us arrange... more

We have just returned from 2 and a half weeks in California. We stayed for our first 5 nights in the Dana and were very impressed with everything there. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food at both restaurants was lovely. We enjoyed both pools and found the whole experience a very nice introduction to America as this... more

We stayed in one of the older buildings in the hotel in a ground floor room with patio near the tropical pool. The upper floors had no balcony to sit out, so if in that part of the hotel I would recommend requesting a ground floor room. The rooms were spacious with a plasma tv, fridge and microwave. On arrival... more

We just returned from the Dana, August 1st weekend. Our family of four decided to take a weekend trip to San Diego at the last minute, and used Trip Advisor to help us find a suitable hotel. While the Dana seemed expensive with a Marina view room (2 Queen beds) in the older section of the hotel going for $251... more

We just came back from our San Diego vacation and the whole experience was wonderful. We stayed at The Dana for 8 nights in a bay view room in the newer section. We had room service and ate at both onsite restaurants. We also used both pools and had a couple of housekeeping special requests. I would like to say... more

We are a family of four who spent three days at the Dana from July 23-26, 2008. After reading reviews, we opted for one of the newer rooms and selected a premium bay view: WORTH IT! Great view of Mission Bay from our room and balcony, boats gliding along all day long. The infinity pool was beautiful. Service from the... more

Staying at the Dana for a weekend in San Diego is quite the comforting experience. We had a downstairs room (with patio) in the Tropical Pool section. The Dana offered an atmosphere that you felt like you were in Hawaii. The room with Queen Size beds was clean and came with a large plasma television, refrigerator, and microwave. We enjoyed... more

Our family of four stayed here for two nights in July 2008. Based on other TripAdvisor reviews, we made sure we were on the newer side of the hotel. The room was huge and had an upscale feel, and the view of the bay was very nice. There is a nice walking/jogging path right along the edge of the water.... more
