Booked as part of a hotwire deal 1 night plus 2 days car rental for $200 - pretty good value. The hotel is older with motel style rooms. Beautiful setting on the bay, was a little worried that the room may not be in such good condition, however, I was pleasantly surprised - it felt like I was somewhere tropical,... more

We just returned from staying at The Dana on Mission Bay. This hotel is low key and very nice. We had booked a Bay View room, which we would recommend. The other parts of the complex appear quite old. Although, we never seen what the "older" accommodations looked like. Our room faced the bay which was beautiful and very relaxing... more

We had a great stay at the Dana. Our marina view room was spotless, although there was a faint chlorine smell and we were not near either pool. All the staff we came in contact with were courteous and helpful. The wait staff at the Blue Pearl were exceptional, their breakfasts were great, the rest of the menu was average.... more

We stayed here at the recommendation of a friend. The pictures on the website made it look so tropical and beautiful, which it was, but not to the degree I expected. On the positive side: the location is great, right on Mission Bay, beautiful views, lovely landscape, and close to many attractions. Mission Beach & Belmont Park are nearby, of... more

This place was beyond words. My husband and I stayed in downtown San Diego for my business trip at a very nice hotel. We stayed over an extra night at The Dana to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary and get out of the bustle of the city after the business trip was over. First of all, they upgraded our room... more

The Dana on Mission Bay was excellent, fantastic service by every employee there! We were there visiting my son, who lives in San Diego. Every request was granted without hesitation. Can't wait to go back! Price was fine, location was great, rooms were very nice and clean, Overall fabulous experience! For what's it's worth, our ages range from 25 to... more

We stayed six nights in a Bay view room. The room was quite spacious; it was spotless, and housekeeping did a great job every day. The bathroom was a good size, too. Having a mini-kitchen (fridge, microwave, sink and cabinet storage) was very convenient, since we like to keep snacks on hand. And the bedding was comfortable. The decor was... more

We stayed here for a week in October 2008. My husband booked it and I must admit to not having read TripAdvisor reviews beforehand, so maybe our disappointment was our own fault..... The hotel website shows lovely rooms, so I was quite surprised when we drove in to what appeared to be a fairly ramshackle site. Our room was in... more

I decided to book The Dana even after reading a bunch of scary reviews - and I am glad that I did! The location was great, the service was wonderful and we had a terrific time. When we first arrived I did notice a sort of musty smell in the room but we left the windows open and ran the... more
