I just wanted to thank you again for all that you did to make the wedding so special! The food was absolutely delicious! We received many compliments on the food and the ice cream buffet. The setting was beautiful and the lights really added the finishing touch. Thank you again for comping the rental cost for the lights ;) And the service was exceptional. Everyone at the Dana was kind and helpful. We cannot thank you enough for significantly lowering the food and beverage minimum so that we could have the wedding at your hotel. It was truly a wedding to remember and much of that is because of your help and generosity. It was a pleasure working with you!

Great Hotel.. Ive Stayed At The Dana A Few Times Now & Never Disappointed.

Cute hotel. Basic rooms that smelled heavily of mildew and pool steam but the salt water pool was very nice. 2 stars since my necklace fell of me in the pool and was stolen immediately by a man also in the pool and the hotel refused to do ANYTHING to help me get it from him when he left with it right in front of me. Also their outdoor evening yoga was so loud I could hear it in the shower with all the doors and windows closed. So much for a quiet night and a movie. I did appreciate they HAD yoga classes though.

Complete serenity on The Dana Boat Launch Ramp! Ease of ENTRY and AMPLE PARKING Makes This the GREAT LAUNCH SPOT for Mission Bay ! Bathroom Facilities and Picnic Benches Too !

Positive: Location was amazing Negative: Shower was awful, beds uncomfortable

The stay was ok, only thing is that although it is pet friendly they aren’t allowed in the pool area, which can be a hassle leaving your dog in the room.

If anyone is trying to find bargain deals for hotel rooms check out ʜᴏᴛᴇʟʙᴜʟʟʏ.ᴄᴏᴍ reserved a hotel on there and these guys had the best rates just about anywhere!Beautiful rooms, everything is spotless and feels brand new! The location is amazing, great parking and the atmosphere of the hotel is great as well. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.

Pics online from Expedia make this place look alot better than what it really is. Very old school vibe to it, that may be attractive to others, but not to my liking. Its like an above average motel. Staff is very friendly, and that isnt my issue.Once my family and I checked in, we got to our room, and it smelled very badly of cigarette smoke. As if someone just finished smoking in our room. The property is listed as non smoking, so not sure why it smelled like that, but it was so bad that I had to ask for another room for the sake of my kids.Then, our new room (a few rooms down, same building and floor), had ants in it. All around the bathroom sink, and toilet/bathtub. Not a great experience, but had no time to try to stay somewhere else, as we had activities planned for the weekend. We chose this location due to the fact that we had rented some boats to take the kids out on, and this place was right on the water.With growing concern over Covid 19, and cleanliness being a big focus, I would not recommend this place as one that a family would feel comfortable, or have peace of mind that cleanliness is a top priority. I do not have plans to stay here again.I know everyones experiences are different, just sharing mine.

Positive: Nothing Negative: This is a motel not a hotel. Very old and rundown.

Pleasant atmosphere beautiful property and excellent room! Wish I could afford it more often!

Have stayed here twice. The first time was the best. Had a balcony that faced the Bay. The second time, had a room facing the parking lot. The first time I had made a reservation a day ahead of stay. The second time was a spur of the moment trip, so took whatever room was available. Rooms were clean and friendly staff. Hotel is close to Mission Beach. I will be staying there again (if they have a room with a view other than the parking lot)

This place is a gem on a marina on Mission Bay. I’ve lived in San Diego my whole life and had never been there. It’s the perfect place for a staycation. It is such a relaxing spot with lots of rooms with water views, a big grassy area, walking paths, pools, and a good restaurant. You really feel like you are on vacation when you stay here since it has such a good vibe and is low key. It is close to Seaworld, Downtown, La Jolla but it feels far away from all the activity.

We only stayed one night. But we would love to stay again. We booked a room with short notice and were upgraded to a Jr. Suite when we arrived. We had a very nice clean room with a beautiful view of the bay. Such a lovely hotel.

A very clean and updated room; We had a room with a marina view. It was very noisy; we could hear everything outside; from room service to people running down the hall all night long. I would never stay here again because of that.

Choosing The Dana on Mission Bay for our wedding was the absolute best decision we could have made. The venue is BEAUTIFUL and affordable, compared to other Southern California locations. Christina is phenomenal and basically acts as your own personal coordinator (even though a day of coordinator is required, which is totally worth it, FYI!). The venue grounds are so beautiful and they only hold 1 wedding at a time, therefore, you have access to the entire venue for your wedding for pictures, etc. You can seriously not go wrong choosing this location for your dream day! I wish I could go back and do it all over again!

It was clean and in a great place. We were close to water activities and great beaches. The staff observed Covid 19 safety procedures. My only issue was that when we arrived on Weds the WiFi was out and even though I spoke to the front desk four times and their tech support team three times it still was not working by Friday 11AM.

The fish and chip was really good. The portion was extremely large. My friend also had the salmon with risotto. The risotto was amazing.

Amazing location and decent price (I think its only because of COVID). The facilities are great and they were aware of social distancing which made me happy. We booked a trip in May when states opened up and unfortunately couldnt cancel plans through another site. We were able to find a second room close to the apartment we rented. I actually went to the website as their rates were a lot better than other sites.The room were nice and the bed was great. The bathroom floor could have been a little cleaner but all in all I was satisfied. I absolutely loved the kids pool and movies.I will come again when the pandemic is over, my only hope is the price wont double.

Wow! Wonderful property and just hands down amazing staff! Even through this covid nightmare they were kind warm hearted paid attention to detail and made me my family and even our pup feel welcome. Most definitely will be back! Dana Inn is an oasis. We left recharged and relaxed. Thank you for the most wonderful stay!

Rooms ok. Pool no restrooms so have to go to room every time. Ice machines broke and vending machines empty. All the restaurant food was so salty we couldnt eat. What got me most is they never told me Id get charged $35 a day resort fee plus a $25 parking fee. Ended up being $1,000 for 3 days and this was for a normal non kitchen room. So many other places to stay!!

The room was great with a view to the bay. Unfortunately the food choices at the restaurant were extremely limited but plentiful. The staff was especially friendly and service was great.

Location is great, but they use that to nickel & dime you to death.Like I told the kid who checked me in, it makes it very hard to feel bad for them.A $32 resort fee/day plus $25/day to park is outrageous.And there is nothing worse than checking out - only to find that they overcharged you in the first place.I will give them props for quickly correcting the bill once I called them out, but come on.I shouldnt have to call them out.It feels like a desperate & lame move to make as much money as they can while they are trying to entice folks to stay with them during covid.Be very, very careful if you stay here & review your final bill like a hawk.There are other great hotels in this same area, so do some research before you book.

Beautiful rooms, everything is spotless and feels brand new! The location is amazing, great parking and the atmosphere of the hotel is great as well. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.

The food was awesome. The drink called the painkiller was awesome. We will see what evening brings......

Positive: Location Negative: Ac didnt work Kept getting botherd No complementary late check out Shouldâ€ve got a discount for AC not working most of the time

The suite was nice and clean. Modern enough with windows, so its not stuffy. A dining table for 4, a sofa bed, and a private bedroom. The bathroom was clean, newly remodeled, but no bath tub.

Night one. Terrible sleep. Woken up at 620am to what sounded like a jack hammer and a large truck backing up. It may have been the trash pick up truck. Whatever is was I hope the rest of my nights dont get ruined.Overall nothing impressive about the property. Would not recommend and will not return.

Perfect location, nice, accommodating staff and beautiful grounds. The section in which we stayed (marina view) was a little dated, but Im going back to stay in the bay view area in a couple weeks. Was surprised by parking fees, but thats my fault for not being more attentive when booking.

This is a great resort on Mission Bay, but dont count on the wifi working all of the time or not dropping the signal. I wouldve gave it 5 stars if the wifi issue hadnt made my working remotely experience more challenging. Service is great, location, and people.

If youre looking for a place near the bay to enjoy during the day all water sports rental as well. Family Pinic and fire pit at night. The Dana on Mission Bay is your ticket.

Loved loved loved it! Food was amazing, drinks were perfect and everyone, absolutely everyone we came across were friendly and helpful. Great spot to visit or stay. Definitely coming back! Met so many people here, hood conversations and lots of smiles!

This is our spot!!! We have stayed here every July for over 10 years. It is centrally located to the beaches, museums, and attractions. They offer dive-in movies during the summer with a walk up bar and you can order food too! Nestled right on the marina with a prime view of SeaWorlds famous fireworks! We dont stay anywhere else in S.D.

This place was nice. Better views on 2nd floor and directly at bay without alot of palm trees. Only guest laundry was very difficult to log in, and room was a little smelly of paint and kitchen was small. Not bad for $200 a night.

The property is nice. Some of the buildings are far from the main office. Not a big deal except when u arrive late at night like we did. The food in the firefly was not great. The drinks were very good tho! Pools are nice. As are hot tubs. Great location.

K&I enjoyed the quiet reflections with an early morning rain...may even take a boat ride now...

The hotel was beautiful but the bed was very hard and room looked nice bit felt like an upscale motel 6. But overall I enjoyed my stay.

Had my grandmas memorial gathering here on the beach... (other then the creepy guy watching my family we believe he was watching the children).... it was beautiful

This is a really lovely resort. Kid and pet friendly. Great location and fun things to do. The grounds are very pretty. My kids loved the nightly movie at the pool and I enjoyed the samba serenade outside the restaurant. The staff I encountered were all very kind too.I deducted a star for all the hidden fees: $20 parking fee, $32 daily resort fee, $40 daily pet fee, $16 for breakfast.....

We arrived at 4 to check in and was told that the room had not been cleaned yet. At 5:30 our room still wasnt ready. They upgraded us to a bay view room. Nice resort. But the walls are very thin, you can hear your neighbors. Which is why I didnt give the resort 5 stars.

Friendly staff, great guest and very relaxing. My second 4th of July visit in a row. Will make it a yearly trip

Very beautiful and conveniently located. The surrounding areas are green and plenty of trees and plants within the resort community.The resort has a lot of facilities to make your stay comfortable.

Great family park with a view of the bay. Great place for walks. Only drawback is bonfire pits fill up quick and theyre only a few.

Rooms are antiquated, few amenities. We have the Bay View with 2 queen beds, tried to upgrade to king but no luck. Mini fridge, mini microwave. I admit looking back before we got the timeshare this room was par for the course. Now weve become accustomed to resort amenities, full kitchen, washer, dryer, the works. The view and location is simply amazing. Lots of things to do and close to civilization. We will return and bring the family. Price is decent like a grand for 5 days. These shots are right outside our patio, so very awesome!

Love location ..Staff excellent and responsive..Could be 5 star hotel however basic maintenance lacking..Hotel very accommodating though.

The area we stayed in could be updated somewhat. We paid a resort fee for various amenities. Unfortunately not all lived up to the advertising partly because we came during off season.. The locations Firefly Restaurant was good food (especially the Brunch) and the location overlooking both the pool and the Marina was attractive. The location was great with all the tourist attractions within a short drive. I think it would be a great place to bring the kids during the season, but off-season of questionable value. I would rate it 3 1/2 stars.

5 days here at the Dana.... Very helpful and friendly staff. Great location for access to mission Beach and PB. as well as downtown. Rooms are clean and spacious. Stayed with our 2 adult children and did not find it cramped. Decor is a bit out of date but comfortable, beds were in good shape.Good value for the rates charged. Firefly staff very accommodating and service oriented! Great breakfast, especially the omelettes. Thanks Fernando and Jaime.

Like the saying goes location location location is the selling point for sure. However ive had better food at a chain restraunt and gotten it alot faster then their in house restraunt . Beautiful ambiance but not the best room size, parking lot or food.

Location, dog friendly and warm and wonderful staff!

The location is unbeatable: bayviews, adjacent to a park with firepits, marina view, and many places to rent boats/skis.

Nice place. Neat marina. There only thing I didnt like was the amount of dogs in the seating area next to the pool. There were a lot of dogs. I mean a lot.

A grade up from Comfort Inn. Next to ocean but distance from everything else. Friendly front desk staff. Food from Firefly restaurant was good, $$. Comfortable bed but very small room. 2 nights stay will cost minimum of $400 includes parking.

We love the Dana! We stay every year around this time and its always great!! Lots of activities for families right on hotel property, right next to Sea World, lots of other nearby shopping and dining!!!

Stay was ok, calling the front desk is almost impossible, passed around over 15 times before I finally reached the front desk. Charges are very expensive, 2-night stay is 122.00 for parking resort fees. Ice maker was broken, pools were over crowed for social distancing. Location is ok, unless you want to go the beach, too far to walk. Not recommened

Like everything because of the China covid-19 we cant dine inSo I went to pick up my foodAnd because I didnt want my food to get cold I have to eat in the carI wanted to wash my hands and the bathrooms are closed only for employees oh yeah but they did raise the prices on the menuThese fast food places have not lost customers in fact theyve been getting more customers on the drive thru theyre saving money on diner cleaning and they jack up the pricesBeing greedy and taking advantage of the system is not good

Staff was spectacular from booking to checking out. Demetria and Alma dealing with my dummy errors with booking (covid/quarantine brain. Enough said ppl..... lol) Nicole at the front desk so so friendly. The guys at the adventure water rentals were so much fun. Almar/olmar (unsure.. was drinking) he was FABULOUS, friendly, funny. So much fun. He was the happy hour bartender at firefly pool. Had a blast! Well definitely be back!

Its a nice spot north of the airport with access to a Marina and dense lush landscaping. The rooms are separated into groups of ~20 in varied buildings so you have a bit different feel. There is a walking path surrounding the bay that provides great views.

We really enjoyed our stay. Great pool and hot tub. Awesome location. Receptionist that got married in Fenway Park was terrific.

Amazing location and venue. Close to Sea World and a quick jaunt to central San Diego. The Firefly Restaurant offers a great selection of good eats with plenty of local IPAs on tap. $5 flights on Hoppy Thursday is simply amazing. We will be coming back.

Very nice place. No complaints at all.Beautiful views. Nice pool and jacuzzi.When I was staying here they had movie night at the pool. You could swim in the pool and watch whatever movie they showed for that evening.

Super disappointed in the service. I heard this would be a safe place to stay and considering the history of this being a family owned resort for 50 years, I expected a little more cooperation with certain requests. We came in at 11 pm and paid for 2 rooms. My wife went to take a bath (she is a blonde) and there was all kinds of long brown hair in the tub. Seeing that this is Covid season, I felt as though this was completely unacceptable. We tried to get the bath cleaned up and sanitized but it was now past midnight at that point and we had another room adjoined with a clean bathroom so we let it go and tried to stay as safe as possible. Needless to say, we stayed up later than usual and asked for an hour of grace in the morning for a late check out and (with hardly any cars in the parking lot) the manager told us that he has reached his limit of late checkouts. I even offered to pay for a couple of hours and/or book the rooms again (pending a deep clean) with the advertised buy one night get the second half off but was unsuccessful as we had apparently already received that discount. The host at the front desk when we checked in was very welcoming but upon checkout the new concierge did not seem to care about his guests satisfaction. I hope all stay healthy and have a better experience than I if you choose to stay.

Beautiful clean rooms rite on the beach, great service and well maintained fast friendly staff.....

Great place for a walk alongside the bay and for a casual run. Love the scenery.

Beautiful views of the Dana Marina. Beautiful rooms and property.

The best get away, acommandations, food, fun in, and out of the water, perfect....

Love the Dana! We go every year, several times, and are never disappointed! This year on Memorial Day the surprise fireworks outside our room were spectacular!

Speechless view, amazing food and the most comfortable hotel beds I was in Haven... Book the deck suite you will not regret it...

Very nice hotel with 2 swimming pools with snacks and drinks

Nice hotel, big rooms, good breakfast that unfortunately you have to pay for. Beautiful common areas with several pools with hot tub, tropical gardens and next to the marina where you can rent a kayak or see the boats leave. Short of isolated. Very close to Sea world (they even offer a shuttle bus)

We had a good time. My daughter enjoyed the 2 pools and the dive in movie in the pool was really really cool. The sanitation procedure left much to be desired though. Tables not wiped down between guests. The feed was overpriced for what it was though i will say the fried brussels sprouts were well worth it...very good. We decided against the overpriced breakfast and went out to eat and am glad we did. If youre family looking for family fun it is a good place just be on guard for sanitation and eat out or uber eats.

Beautiful views and grounds. Great location to many attractions.

We ate at the restaurant, service (Enrique) was great and so was our meal

Enjoying our stay.

Very nice place! Kind of a roundabout way to get there, but all of the staff was nice for our Thanksgiving dinner. There wasnt any whip cream readily available (had to ask for it each time), but all of the rest of the food was good. Now as to whether it was about $60/per person good... maybe not so much. Well done Dana.

Very peaceful.... Enjoyed my whole stay.

Beautiful, staff was friendly room was older but clean and comfortable, amazing location.

Great times for great prices. Right on the water, great location.

It was nice. Great views of the marina and bay. Staff very friendly especially in this Coronavirus epidemic.

This was a majestic resort in San Diego. I went here for a wedding, stayed two nights with friends. Gorgeous views of the bay, with options to launch jet skis and boats from the parking lot area. Semi-quick access via ride share or ebike or scooter to the downtown areas. Its obviously on the pricier end but worth it for the right type of event or occasion.

Such a fun place to stay. Free shuttle to sea world was great. Both pools were nice warm and they do a movie night at the pool. It was great waking up to a view of the marina.

This place was absolutely horrible I do not recommend it at all !! The room was very dirty and dusty, definitely not worth how expensive it was. Also the food was not good at all they couldnt make a simple cheese burger. My family and I did not have access to the pool because apparently everyones room cards dont work for the pool. The pictures look nothing like what it actually is please save urself and dont come here

Love the pool here. So clean and quiet

Went here for my birthday. Loved the poolside movies and Firefly Bar. Would come again!

Tried to use the Public Bathrooms at Dana Boat Launch only to find it FILLED with Trolls camping n getting high in all 6 bathrooms. Not a good place at all. Far too many Drug Addicts frequenting the place.

Upon arrival they told us we have to pay 25$ extra for parking. Not fair at all! This is the first time we stay in this hotel But it will be the last. We always stay in mission bay resorts non charging this unnecessary fee! There are better options in mission bay

Nice but busy if you like crowds

Positive: The lobby and the grounds were great. Negative: The room was like a motel room - not good.

This was our second time staying here. It is a nice hotel/resort. Literally 5 minutes, if that, to Seaworld. The room we had this time had a bay view which was awesome and the room was very spacious, nice patio & view. The room service food was NOT good, but Luigis At The Beach delivers. The bayside pool & spa is very nice but the towels were very small, more like a workout room towel. The location is key, very close to all the attractions we were interested in seeing. We enjoyed the breakfast buffet, there were a lot of choices including an omelette station. Overall a very pleasant experience.

Customer service reps are awful i felt unpleasant my stay there dont recommend going to Dana.

This is a pretty nice hotel. Definitely the best place to stay if youre going to Sea World and looking for a good hotel nearby. The Dana offers a free shuttle to and from Sea World and its only about a five minute ride (without traffic). They have multiple pools with bars available at each of them. The on-site restaurant called the Firefly is ok, its nothing great. There are many better options in nearby Ocean Beach for around the same price per plate.

Staff was friendly at restaurants. Room view was beautiful. Carpets were dirty and stained. Poolside service was excellent. Drinks were good with lots of daily specials. Breakfast buffet was lacking for the prices that were charged. Overall it was still a good place to stay and would definitely stay there again.

Such a great place to relax, have fun and enjoy the sights on the bay.

Very nice resort. Comfortable rooms. Excellent bar and restaurant with a bartender who was entertaining, friendly and did a great job pouring drinks and recommending dinner. Overall I would stay here again.

Very good property, Fernando at the buffet breakfast made whatever I wanted and was very accommodating.The only odd thing is they have washbasin outside the bathroom which is not ideal for me.Good thing you have washing machine and dryer on site

The Dana on Mission Bay is a must stay if you are ever in the area. I have been to the San Diego area for short business and personal visits over the years. The Dana is by far one of my favorite stays. For the price, the location is awesome to the local beaches, restaurants and fun activities. The views from my room were amazing and check in was hassle free due to the hospitality and professionalism given by their resort staffer, Katy C. From the moment I entered the lobby, Katy greeted me with a smile. I asked if I could be placed in a room with a great view. She accommodated me with a room with a balcony overlooking the bay. The rooms were clean, spacious and full of amenities one would expect. Katy provided me with other complimentary items that you will just have to visit the Dana to find out what they are! Thank you Katy C. for providing me and my partner with a pleasant experience during a last minute well needed weekend getaway!!!

We had our annual SDBEA meeting here. The facilities were great and the staff was awesome. We had about 200 people attending and it was very comfortable and service was great. The also had some great food and we did not even come close to running out.

Comfortable room. Beds conducive to good sleep! Great onsite restaurant. Delicious breakfast buffet at half price for hotel guests. Nice pools and plenty of outdoor dining space. Clean, paved walking path along the bay. A little pricey, but worth it. Id stay again and definitely recommend.

Great place for the weekend. Staff was great. The receptionist had a beautiful personality.

Great place, incredible marina view, and kid friendly️

Positive: Location was amazing Negative: Tooms air conditioner did not work. The room was uncomfortably warm. No ventilation fan in the bathroom (traps even more heat in the room).

Fair pricing, great staff.
